I'm thinking Brothers Osborne take this. But Dierks/Elle and Kenny/Pink are great as well and I could see one of those winning. Also, I wouldn't count out PTX and Dolly... This will be an interesting category to watch for sure!

I'd say Brothers Osborne for both. I don't know, something about this category makes it so that I want an actual duo to win, not just a solo artist featuring someone, especially in this case where most of those someone's aren't even country artists.

Strictly song-wise though, I hope "Think of You" would win because it's my favorite song on this list and is actually really the only one I like, aside from Pentatonix version of "Jolene" and I'm not nearly as enamored with that as everyone else seems to be.

"Different For Girls" is such trash, and I'm petrified that the Grammys might not see past that in exchange for honoring Elle King, who went home empty-handed last year after a stellar breakthrough and a few nominations, and honoring Dierks Bentley, who's received (last time I checked) 11 Grammy nominations and 0 wins. This could be the way that the Academy decides to finally give them some love, but I praaaaaay that it isn't. Both have done better, and this song deserves absolutely nothing.

While Chris Young and Cassadee Pope put out one hell of a successful duet, I don't know that they'll be able to make large enough waves to drown out the rest of their competition. Brothers Osborne is coming off the heels of a huge CMA upset win for Vocal Duo, dethroning Florida Georgia Line (who've never been Grammy darlings to begin with), and that momentum, combined with plenty of critical and industry love, could really help them here.

And then you've got Pentatonix and Dolly Parton, both of whom have been in the Grammys' good graces. Pentatonix is 2 for 2 in Grammy wins, and this could make them 3 for 3. Dolly Parton's one of the most nominated artists in history (she held the record for most nominated female artist ever until Beyonce overtook it a few years ago, actually), and has won 7 times. This could be a walk in the park for them. Meanwhile, Kenny Chesney's been nominated several times in the past (but has never won) and Pink's won 3 Grammys, and with controversy around her not receiving enough love from the Academy after her big year with "Just Like Fire" (...I'm not in that corner of defense, though), this could be the way the Grammys see fit to honor her for some of her work this past year and give Chesney some overdue gold.

SHOULD: Brothers Osborne
WILL: Aghhh...this is tough, but I'm going with Pentatonix and Dolly Parton.

Should and Will: "21 Summer" by Brothers Osborne (but my gut actually says "Different for Girls" might win this)

Should: Think of You
Will: Jolene

My favorite is "Think of You" by a clear mile and I'd love to see it win, but looking at this set, I'm going to predict that Pentatonix & Dolly Parton take home the award.

I think Dierks should and will win this one, especially since critic darling Elle King is on board for it too.

Should: 21 Summer OR Setting The World On Fire

Will: Different For Girls (and there is so much wrong with this song that if it does win a Grammy, I am gonna be sick and disgusted, sorry not sorry)
