Rap-Up.com || Who Will Win Best New Artist at the 53rd Annual Grammys?

Justin Bieber, Drake, and Florence Welch

With the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards just around the corner, palms are starting to sweat. Five fresh faces are up for the coveted Best New Artist trophy at this year’s ceremony, but only one can go home with the golden gramophone.

Will voters award Drake, who had the biggest hip-hop debut of 2010, or opt for his fellow Canadian heartthrob Justin Bieber? British band Florence + the Machine won over many critics with their breakthrough debut Lungs, but you can’t rule out the underdogs, jazz bassist Esperanza Spalding and folk-rock band Mumford & Sons.

Who will join the company of past winners Mariah Carey, Lauryn Hill, and Alicia Keys on Sunday night? Vote in our poll below.

Esperanza is amazing but not “popular” so I don’t think she will win it. (Let’s face it, that’s the Grammy’s for ya).

Drake is good, but I don’t think he’s new anymore and I don’t think they’ll give it to him. I think Florence + The Machine will take the (surprising) win.

yeah drake and justin shouldn’t be on this list, they should of been on it last year…
anyway justin has those crazy girl fans who have most likely been voting for ages now. so whether we like it or not he will be walking away with it lol

I loveeee Justin Bieber to death but I hope Drake wins Best New Artist. I can listen to his album the whole way through without skipping a track and his features on singles have always been outstanding. And I can’t forget that he’s an amazing songwriter and have written one of the biggest songs, Un-thinkable. Nothing against the Biebs but Drake deserves that award so much more.

JustinB and Drake have overstayed their welcome in the best new artist section.

Justin will probably take the cake

Esprenza Spalding is talented but she needs another year so people can get to know her.

Florence and The Machine got that on lock. Or Mumford and Sons. The Grammy committee is not gonna vote for Drake or Bieber. They usually choose people with talent that’s gonna be around for a while. No offense to Drake and Justin though.

^^^^^ JB will win whether you think he deserves it or not. But Florence is a dark horse, so I won’t be surprised by them taking it either.

Florence hopefully. The Grammy’s are a mess at times, like Beyonce winning 6 awards for I Am or Taylor Swift getting album of the year, but best new artists is usually good. Adele, Amy, etc in recent years.

I would like to see Esperanza win because of her of her creativity and academic accomplishment in music. If anyone should win on their merits alone, it should be Esperanza Spalding.
