Grammy Award Nominations 2014: My Predictions
The end of the year is fast approaching, which means one thing; It’s nearly awards season! The Grammy Awards are a guilty pleasure of mine.

Grammys 2013: My Predictions (Pop/Rock/Alternative/Country)
I’ve been through the big 4 awards at this year’s Grammys, but with over 70 awards to give out, there’s plenty more oppotunities to get a nomination. Obviously there are some genres I’m not too familiar with, (Best Spoken World Album anyone?), so I will be focusing on ones I can make fair predictions in. … Continue reading

To those people who have been reading posts on my blog since I began, you’ll know that I have a certain obsession with the biggest awards show in music.

Who deserves to win Best New Artist at the Grammys 2012?
I must have looked very stupid following my 2011 Grammy predictions, where I said the award was Bieber’s to win and eventual winner Esperanza Spalding was just included to round out the numbers…but the rest of the internet was as surprised as me with the eventual result. This year is just as difficult to judge, … Continue reading

Last year Lady Antebellum scored a double for their brilliant Need You Now, and with 4 artists being nominated in both categories, the same could happen again in 2012. I’ll … Continue reading

Who should win Album of the Year at the 2012 Grammys?
There’s a week to go until the biggest night in the music calender, a night that is sure to cause drama and surprises whether you like it or not. The Grammys are renowned for making poor decisions when it comes to nominations, and often baffling decisions when it comes to giving the awards out. I’ll … Continue reading
Grammy Awards 2012 Nominations: Did They Get It Right?
As anyone who read my roundup of the biggest awards show in music earlier in the year knows, I have some pretty strong views on both the nominations and eventual winners of these awards. Unlike most years however, where a nomination in any of the big 4 categories would give you at least some chance … Continue reading
