Grammy Recap

What a crazy night of music. Between the great performances, the werid ones too (yes Nicki Minaj I am definitely talking to you), and a hell of a lot of awards being awarded to Adele. If you watched the awards you'll see that Adele walked away with pretty much every award she was nominated for. While there was no underdog winners in this years Grammy awards, we can say that 2011 was truly dominated by Adele.

Early this month I posted some blogs about the Grammy's that gave my predictions of who'd win what awards, who in my opinion should win if you'd like to see those posts click here and here.

Let's recap what I said, and see how well my predictions actually were true of what happened Sunday night.

Record of the year:
My prediction: Rolling the Deep
Winner: Rolling in the Deep

Album of the year:
My prediction: Adele, 21.
Winner: Adele, 21.

Song of the year:
My prediction: Rolling in the Deep
Winner: Rolling in the Deep

Best new artist:
My prediction: Bon Iver
Winner: Bon Iver

Best alternative album:
My prediction: Bon Iver, Bon Iver
Winner: Bon Iver, Bon Iver

Best Hip Hop Album:
My prediction: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy/Watch the Throne
Winner: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Even though I only selected a few awards to view, as you can see the Grammy's are incredibly predictable. Not only predictable, but bias, several times onto a commercial break where they'd mention "Stay tuned for album of the year.." Adele would be playing. The Grammy awards are one of my favorite award shows, but year after year they become more biased and have nominations that could be reconsidered. If I'm still blogging next year, I'll make my own Grammy awards. So stick around!
