Will- Blown Away- by Carrie Underwood meet the eligibility deadline for the Grammy awards? If it is, and it's as impressive as some people in the industry have indicated, then maybe Blown Away may be a contender for country Album and it may yield a song of the year and vocal performance of the year contender as well.. GG has already outsold OY by Miranda, but it's not all about sales, but there's a definite possibility that Carrie may have a big awards year with Blown Away. Yes, it'll be released in the eligibility period.

I think We Found Love wasn't indicated last year. It was released September, 22nd.

^ "Grenade" was also released prior to October in 2010, but that was still able to get nominated this past year.

For the big 3 general categories I see what everyone else is stating to: big lead for FUN, Goyte, and The Black Keys. John Mayer is also a BIG, BIG Grammy darling so look for him to be placed somewhere in the big 3 mix.
As for the surprise contender, I'm going to say it now....Matchbox Twenty for an Album of the Year nomination. First full length album in 9 years will come out in September with a lot of PR and goodwill. If they have the songs, I think they may be the big story this fall. They have been critical punching bags in the past but I think over time that has changed in a lot of people's minds. We'll see.

"We Are Young" and "Somebody That I Used To Know" seem like 'locks' for Record and Song at this point. "Shake It Out" and "Ni**as In Paris" are darkhorse contenders.
I think Black Keys, Lionel Richie, Coldplay, and, depending how it sells and if the title track is a hit, Carrie Underwood could get in Album.

what are your predictions in the genre's categories? PopI think Kelly Clarkson will be a strong force, and she could finally scoop up a couple more Grammys. If XL wanted to, they could easily pull another Halo situation and submit the Royal Albert Hall version of any one of Adele's singles into the category for Pop Solo Vocal, and I wouldn't be all that surprised if a submission like that were to get nominated. If they were to submit that album to the Pop Vocal Album category, it would probably have a strong chance of winning if it were to be nominated. fun. will probably scoop up a couple nominations since they've managed to cross over so well. Rihanna will probably nab one or two in the genre, and if Gaga releases anything, it could be a contender as long as it performs well on the charts. 1D has been experiencing very impressive and stabilized sales for weeks now, and their album has been performing wonderfully on the US charts, as well as internationally. Pop Vocal Album contenders- Stronger, Kelly Clarkson - Talk That Talk, Rihanna - Live at the Royal Albert Hall, Adele - Some Nights, fun. (maybe) - Up All Night, One Direction (maybe) CountryMiranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood seem like the only two with solid bets on at least one nod in the genre. Miranda should (and more than likely will) get a nomination for Country Album for Four the Record, and I'd love to see Over You get a nod for Country Solo Vocal Performance. Carrie will more than likely get nominated for anything the label decides to submit for Country Solo Vocal Performance, and I'd love to see her get a Country Album nod for Blown Away (sidenote, but she's never gotten a nod in this category before, surprisingly). Country Song is always one that's all over the place (Taylor Swift's Mean won last year, for a very prime example), so I never know what could actually come out of that category. Blake Shelton and Jason Aldean have both had big hits and big years, so I wouldn't be surprised to see the calamity of their years propel any one of their lackluster releases from the past year into the final five nominations for any of the categories (except Country Album). Taylor Swift could see a nomination for Safe and Sound for Country Duo/Group/Collaboration, but she hasn't released any other solo material this year (bar Eyes Open, which I couldn't imagine getting a nod), and it doesn't seem like she'll be releasing any in time for the cutoff (from my knowledge, at least -- feel free to provide rebuttal in case I'm off). Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw's new duet will probably get them a country Duo/Group/Collaboration nod, and hopefully Little Big Town can sneak in there with their new single. Country should be an interesting one next year, but Carrie and Miranda seem like the biggest forces for the year, with Blake right on their heels. I have the most knowledge in those two genres, so I'll stop there.

and what about r&b, rock, rap and dance categories?
can Love On Top get r&b song & performance nomination, or will it go the same way as Unthinkable (I'm Ready)? snubbed album the other year, snubbed song that was topping the r&b chart the next year...

"We Are Young" and "Somebody That I Used To Know" seem like 'locks' for Record and Song at this point. "Shake It Out" and "Ni**as In Paris" are darkhorse contenders. I was pissed that "Dog Days" got snubbed for song and record in its year, and giving at least one nod to the even better "Shake it Out" would more than make up for it. I think it maybe have been just successful to be remembered by the voters.

I think if Carly Rae Jepsen keeps her momentum with the next single and releases the album by September, she has a good chance of getting a "Best New Artist" nomination. She's looking to have one of the biggest songs of the year plus she's a singer/songwriter.

That hasn't happened since the 2001 awards (Steely Dan, Eminem, Beck, Radiohead, Paul Simon). I would be thrilled if Kelly Clarkson made it as the female nominee, but I could see it going to Florence after Lungs and "Dog Days" got snubbed.

Theres a new category:
R&B Field
Best Urban Contemporary Album is for albums containing 51 percent playing time of newly recorded contemporary vocal tracks derivative of R&B. This category is intended for artists whose music includes the more contemporary elements of R&B and may incorporate production elements found in urban pop, urban europop, urban rock, and urban alternative.

That's good for the R&B field, it's actually about time. They should have never got rid of a couple ones.

If Mumford & Sons is releasing an album in late September, that could become a huge contender. They are budding Grammy darlings. No wins yet but they've been nominated for SOTY/ROTY/BNA. They could battle Black Keys for a spot in Album of the Year.
