I'm thinking that Best New Artist contenders will include any of (or all of) the following: Carly Ray Jepsen, fun. Gotye, Scotty McCreery, One Direction
Not sure that the Grammys would go without having an R&B/Hip-Hop or Rap artist in the category, though, so one of those very deserving five would end up missing out.

The phenomenal Channel Orange (Album of the Year and Best R&B Album) and Frank Ocean (Best New Artist) to be a big winner or at least a nominee next year? Definite possibility. Edit: Have no idea why I put rap originally.

Edit: Have no idea why I put rap originally. No doubt, I'd even go so far as to say he's the frontrunner for Album of the Year and Best New Artist at this point.

I dunno about that, given that he's a debuting young R&B artist. But Metacritic has this as just the 2nd album of the year with more than a handful of reviews with a 90+ average, along with Grammy winner Fiona Apple.
Last year Bon Iver thanks to high acclaim won New Artist & its album genre, and got in for Song and Record. It and the dominant 21 by Adele were both in the T3 in critics' top 10 lists. Arcade Fire used its massive acclaim to pull of an Album win (#2 on critics' top 10 lists after Kanye whose album was in another eligibility period).
Others with high acclaim that could get in: Grammy winner Tom Waits, Grammy winners The Roots, Grammy winner Killer Mike, Grammy winner Dr. John in a collaboration with the Black Keys.

But Metacritic seems to have this as just the 2nd album of the year with more than a handful of reviews with a 90+ average, along with Fiona Apple. I say seems as its Metascore is listed as 93 but the link to the album's reviews doesn't go anywhere. Metacritic scores have become less of a determining factor at the Grammys in recent years. Take last year when Bruno Mars and Rihanna got in AOTY over Kanye West. I just think, in terms of Grammys, Frank has everything going for him. His album is one of the most-talked about of the year, will likely pull in strong overall sales numbers and his style of R&B will likely be embraced by the voters. He has Grammy darling written all over him, ala John Legend. Plus, I also think the Grammys might jump at the chance to make a statement that it's OK to be gay or bisexual in this industry. As for his age, Adele was just 23 and won AOTY. Taylor Swift was 20. Age isn't as big an issue as it maybe once was.

But WINNING Album I still don't see happening. Its sales will not be omghuge like Adele and Taylor. It's also a debut album unlike Adele and Taylor. And Adele and Taylor had won about ten billion awards leading up to their Grammys coronation. I think especially for his genre his newness will count against him. Album NOM, sure.
Also Bruno and Rihanna had the advantage of having a bunch of superhuge singles, and the Grammys are trying to boost its ratings. I don't see Frank Ocean having superhuge singles either. I do like his album a lot; I just don't see it winning.

I have to agree with fridayteenage on this. I can see Frank Ocean receiving nominations, but I don't think an AOTY win is really set in stone for him like some seem to think.

Frank has BNA on lock. I'd say he's also the frontunner for AOTY. It's been quite a while since a hip hop/r&b set claimed top honors and for one to do it it would have to have the hype Frank's getting. Grammy voters also will be making a statement which they like to do from time to time.

For Record of the Year, "We Are Young" and "Somebody That I Used to Know" are locks to be nominated, I'd also include these as potentials:
Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen Take Care - Drake f/ Rihanna We Found Love (not sure if it qualifies??) - Rihanna f/ Calvin Harris Lights (again not sure if it qualifies) - Ellie Goulding Settle Down (if it becomes a big hit) - No Doubt Set Fire to the Rain - Adele Paradise - Coldplay N!ggas in Paris - Jay-Z & Kanye West (wiki lists its release date as September 13 so not sure if this qualifies either...)

Is anything by Adele allowed to get nominated? I thought there was a specific rule that anything released afterwards off of an album that won Album of the Year couldn't be nominated in the future.

Album of the Year Tier 1: Black Keys, Drake, Frank Ocean Tier 2: Justin Bieber, Coldplay, Florence + The Machine, Gotye, Lionel Richie Tier 3: fun., One Direction, Nicki Minaj, Bruce Springsteen, Zac Brown Band Upcoming Possibilities: G.O.O.D. Music, Green Day, Mumford & Sons, Muse, No Doubt If they continue with the unexpected pop slot (a la Katy, Rihanna), it could be Justin Bieber or Nicki Minaj. Depending on the album's quality/reception/sales, Mumford & Black Keys may fight for the same spot. It's easy to think Frank Ocean has a nod locked up with buzz high but I'm curious to see if it still feels like a lock a few months from now.
Record/Song of the Year Tier 1: Set Fire To The Rain (ROTY only), Somebody That I Used To Know, We Are Young Tier 2: Call Me Maybe, Lonely Boy, N***** in Paris, Take Care Tier 3: It Will Rain, Paradise, Settle Down, Wide Awake Tier 1 features 3 critically-acclaimed, non-conforming artists and they happen to also be huge hits. I know people keep predicting CMM but I don't see it happening.
Best New Artist Tier 1: Gotye, Frank Ocean, One Direction Tier 2: fun., Ellie Goulding, Lana del Rey, Scotty McCreery Tier 3: Alabama Shakes, Azealia Banks, Carly Rae Jepsen

I think Frank has BNA on lock. At least at this point, I'd say he's the most deserving.

I think Nas' Life Is Good will beat Take Care for Best Rap Album. He's getting really good reviews for it and the set is deserving of them IMO.

Keep an eye on Pink's new album for Pop Album and the GF possibly, depending on sales and reception. She's releasing the album a few weeks before the cutoff.

This is what it looks like right now to me:
No Doubt - Push and Shove Mumford & Sons - Babel Drake - Take Care Frank Ocean - Channel Orange Gotye - Making Mirrors
The No Doubt nomination is because a woman or a female-led band WILL be nominated and the only other options are Florence (lacks a hit single) and Nicki (lacks acclaim and underperformed sales-wise). Gotye over the Black Keys because their album came out too long ago and their hype has died down.

Grammy noms concert special coming to NashvilleBy CHRIS TALBOTT AP Music WriterAssociated Press Posted: 08/21/2012 04:03:15 AM PDT August 21, 2012 11:19 AM GMTUpdated: 08/21/2012 04:19:23 AM PDT Β»NASHVILLE, Tenn.βThis year's Grammy Awards nominations will come with a Southern accent. The Recording Academy is moving its annual live nominations concert special to Music City. The show will air Dec. 5 live on CBS from Bridgestone Arena. This is the fifth time The Recording Academy has held "The Grammy Nominations Concert Live," but the first outside Los Angeles. "There's probably no city more renowned as a music center in America and probably the world than Nashville, Tenn.," said Neil Portnow, president/CEO of The Recording Academy. "We have had a great experience with the city of Nashville as an organization." Portnow said he likes his staff to examine how the Grammys are presented from time to time. That's what led to The Recording Academy's nominations out of a hotel ballroom and onto the concert stage, and taking a year in Nashville seemed like a logical next step. "It made sense to me that we also review the location and the venues and just the whole flavor of it," he said. The Recording Academy will reveal nominees in several categories for the 55th annual Grammy Awards, to be held Feb. 10 in Los Angeles, during the hourlong special that will feature a handful of performances by former Grammy winners and nominees. Nashville Mayor Karl Dean called the event "a perfect fit" in a Tuesday news release, and Portnow acknowledged Nashville's vigorous efforts to lure such a marquee event to the city helped land the show. Nashville has a long history with the Grammys. It is home to one of The Recording Academy's oldest and most successful chapters. Grammy winners of all stripesβfrom Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum to The Black Keys and Kings of Leon among scores moreβcall the city home. And although the event has likely been forgotten by most, the Grammys were once held in Nashville. Andy Williams hosted the 1973 awards from the Tennessee Theatre. In the 21st century, city leaders are building a new convention center next to the arena and would like another shot at the big event. Portnow said he's open to the idea of moving the show from Los Angeles where it has been held since a 2003 trip to Madison Square Garden in New York City. "Certainly everything is a possibility as we go forward," Portnow said. "At this point it's one day at a time, one step at a time. We look forward to having the experience of working in town and in sort of marshaling the troops, meaning not only the industry but also the community in terms of the public and the fans. So it will be a great experience, and no doubt it's the kind of thing that can be inspirational in terms of determining what one does in the future." www.mercurynews.com/news/ci_21361307/grammy-noms-concert-special-coming-nashville

I don't think the Grammy's rely much on recent hype when it comes to nominations. I could see Florence getting some noms.

Cool to hear that it's going to be in Nashville this year. I wonder if there will be some major category nominations for any Country songs this year. I don't think the Grammy's rely much on recent hype when it comes to nominations. I could see Florence getting some noms. Wouldn't shock me in the slightest. I'd love to see it, too!

I wonder if the Grammys will continue their recent streak of voting for the VMA-est of their music video nominees. Boom Boom Pow, Bad Romance, and Rolling in the Deep are departures from the likes of Pork and Beans, God's Gonna Cut You Down, and Here It Goes Again.

Is Ellie Goulding's Lights eligible for nomination?
I don't think Carly will get a nomination just like Kesha did despite having a monster hit but to be fair to her she has a better public image than Kesha.

The end of this month is the end of the eligibility period for 2013's show, so most of what could/should be nominated has already made the greatest of its impact, it seems.
Some of my final predictions (general, Pop, and Country)... Album of the Year Channel Orange, Frank Ocean Making Mirrors, Gotye Some Nights, fun. The Idler Wheel..., Fiona Apple Blown Away, Carrie Underwood or Take Care, Drake
Song of the Year Somebody That I Used to Know, Gotye feat. Kimbra We Are Young, fun. feat. Janelle Monae Call Me Maybe, Carly Rae Jepsen Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You), Kelly Clarkson Blown Away, Carrie Underwood or I Will Wait, Mumford & Sons
Record of the Year Set Fire to the Rain, Adele We Are Young, fun. feat. Janelle Monae Somebody That I Used to Know, Gotye feat. Kimbra Springsteen, Eric Church We Found Love, Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris **If WFL doesn't qualify since it was released Sept. 22, 2011, 8 days outside of the start of the eligibility period (I think they will allow it because it's the same situation as Bruno Mars' Grenade last year, but they didn't allow Train's Hey, Soul Sister the same treatment as Mars last year, so you never know), then replace WFL with Wide Awake, Katy Perry
Best New Artist Carly Rae Jepsen One Direction Frank Ocean Gotye fun.
Pop Vocal Album Stronger, Kelly Clarkson Talk That Talk, Rihanna Some Nights, fun. I think the last 2 will go to any of the following four: Live at the Royal Albert Hall, Adele; Ceremonials, Florence + the Machine; California 37, Train; or Believe, Justin Bieber
Pop Solo Vocal Performance Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You), Kelly Clarkson Where Have You Been, Rihanna Wide Awake, Katy Perry It Will Rain, Bruno Mars Boyfriend, Justin Bieber
Pop Duo/Group Performance Somebody That I Used to Know, Gotye feat. Kimbra We Are Young, fun. feat. Janelle Monae Payphone, Maroon 5 feat. Wiz Khalifa What Makes You Beautiful, One Direction Drive By, Train or Glad You Came, The Wanted
Country Album Home, Dierks Bentley Thirty Miles West, Alan Jackson Four the Record, Miranda Lambert Blown Away, Carrie Underwood Welcome to the Fishbowl, Kenny Chesney **If there was any justice, 100 Proof by Kellie Pickler would be nominated.
Country Song Springsteen, Erich Church Pontoon, Little Big Town Over You, Miranda Lambert Blown Away, Carrie Underwood Safe & Sound, Taylor Swift feat. The Civil Wars
Country Solo Vocal Performance Blown Away, Carrie Underwood Springsteen, Eric Church Drunk On You, Luke Bryan Come Over, Kenny Chesney Over You, Miranda Lambert
Country Duo/Group Vocal Performance Pontoon, Little Big Town Safe and Sound, Taylor Swift feat. The Civil Wars Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die, Willie Nelson feat. Snoop Dogg, Jamey Johnson, and Kris Kristofferson Even if it Breaks Your Heart, Eli Young Band Postcard From Paris, The Band Perry

Church & Tailgates & Tanlines by L. Bryan are ineligible this year as the former was nominated last year for Country Album & T&T was released during previous eligibility period. 2. Take Care is ineligible for SotY as it samples another record. 3. Set Fire To The Rain is ineligible for General Field as long as you don't mean the live version... 4. i have a hard time seeing Underwood & Chesney's albums getting this Country Album nominations as the country field do not treat they as real country artists...

Lol, what?
Underwood and Chesney are not considered real Country artists?
That must be why Carrie Underwood has five Grammys to her name, four of which in Country categories. Carrie is a Grammy darling. As long as she has music out, her chances of being nominated are great. I think Carrie could fare very well this year at the Grammys.
