Adele at The Grammys (2017)

[when the pawn...]

What will the 2017 Grammys look like in terms of Adele?

In your post, if you think she will win/be nominated for ROTY/SOTY/Pop Solo/Music Video/anything else, make a note of whether it will be for "Hello," "When We Were Young," "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)," "Water Under the Bridge" or something else.

If you think she'll win/be nominated for any awards I didn't list, please make note.

[Verisimilitude]

All of them. She's never lost an award against her competition since "21", I think.

[when the pawn...]

I'm going (relatively) conservative and say she wins Album of the Year, Pop Solo Performance and Pop Vocal Album.

[Envoirment]

Given the huge positive reception to "Hello", I think that's a shoe in for Pop Solo Performance and Record of The Year. In terms of Song of The Year, it'll be nominated but I think they'll give that award to someone else. I can see "Hello" being nominated for Best Music Video too, but I don't think it'll win. I wouldn't be surprised if "Hello" was nominated for one of the R&B categories due to its Urban/Urban AC/Rhythmic play. Although I'd hope if it is nominated, it won't win.

25 will win Album of The Year and Pop Vocal Album.


Although in saying all that, she's won every grammy she's been nominated for since 2012, so she could just sweep another 6 grammys again.

Album, Pop Solo, and Pop Vocal.

[Mr. Thonk Eyes]

I went with a sweep of all the awards listed. Seems crazy, but if there is anyone who is capable of winning that many Grammy awards in one night, it is Adele.

[jenglisbe]

It would be tough for her to truly sweep again. Of course, she tends to defy standards, but still; I think Album, Pop Album, and Pop Solo are very likely, but I could see something else winning Record and/or Song. There are a lot of months left for some huge/great single to drop.

[allow that]

The only thing working against her is just how old the album and especially the lead single will be by this time this event comes around.

[Evergreen]

She'll sweep again. "When We Were Young" will be the song that wins everything, not "Hello"

AOTY and pop album are probably a lock, I just don't see anything competing with her there. A year is a long time to allow other people to get in a big hit, but I agree with Modelizer that WWWY is probably the song that will take the ROTY, SOTY, and pop performance categories...that's Adele's favorite song of the album I think, so that will likely be what she prefers to submit and would be the smarter submission anyway because it would be the more recent song (if she sends it out in February, its run won't be over till late April or May). Hello will feel pretty old by this time next year.

If she and Drake actually make good on that Hello/Hotline Bling remix she said she wanted to do, I see it winning pop duo/group or rap/sung, so I took a leap and voted for 'other' as well. Really the only thing where she doesn't feel like a sure bet is video of the year, but I could see her taking that too. They gave it to her for sitting in a chair surrounded by cups of water, so anything is possible.

[Glove Slap]

I think she'll take 2 of the big 3, pop solo, vocal album, and maybe a collaboration one if she'll be eligible.

Like Beyonce last year, and Taylor this, one thing 25 will have working against it is that it will be nowhere as new when voting time comes. A year is a long time and the Grammys love surprise breakouts. Just look at how late Chris Stapleton got in this year. I think the gap is gonna leave an opening in the form of one of the top 3. It really depends on what happens from now till then. If a song really clicks with the public and critics in a huge way, that could take either Record or Song (leaning more towards Song) with her taking the remaining one and AOTY. Or if there is a strongly acclaimed album that has the proper hype campaign behind it, that could culminate in it grabbing AOTY from the frontrunner and commercial juggernaut, with her taking both Record and Song and automatically weakening any snub arguments that would rise in the wake.

[allow that]

Who the fuck is Chris Stapleton? I don't know who that is.
