Get Lucky

So it is GRAMMY season.  I thought I would tell you who I would like to see win in each category.  Even though I may not get my wish, I still hope I'll "Get Lucky."

1.  Record of the Year

"Get Lucky" - Daft Punk (feat. Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers)

"Radioactive" - Imagine Dragons

"Royals" - Lorde

"Locked Out Of Heaven" - Bruno Mars 

"Blurred Lines" - Robin Thicke (feat. T.I. & Pharrell)

I really want Daft Punk to win this because Lorde, Bruno Mars, and (I can't believe I'm saying this) Robin Thicke have really gotten on my nerves this year.  I like Imagine Dragons' music, but that song just didn't do it for me - I prefer "It's Time."  "Get Lucky" was a good song to hear this past summer.  I'm rooting for them!

2.  Album of the Year

The Blessed Unrest - Sara Bareilles

Random Access Memories - Daft Punk

Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City - Kendrick Lamar

The Heist - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

Red - Taylor Swift

This is a tie for me.  Macklemore & Ryan Lewis have solid songs on this record, while Daft Punk has always "wow-ed" me.  I may lean a little more to the Macklemore & Ryan Lewis end just because they are new to the charts, while Daft Punk has been around for a long time.

3.  Song of the Year

"Just Give Me A Reason" - P!nk (feat. Nate Ruess)

"Locked Out Of Heaven" - Bruno Mars

"Roar" - Katy Perry

"Royals" - Lorde

"Same Love" - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (feat. Mary Lambert)

I love duets!  This is probably my favorite male and female duet from 2013 and I'm a huge fan of P!nk.  I'm not a fan of Katy Perry's most recent songs, so that's why I'm not choosing "Roar."  The other songs, to me, were overplayed and talked of too much.

4.  Best New Artist

James Blake

Kendrick Lamar

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

Kacey Musgraves

Ed Sheeran

I love my Brits and that's part of the reason why I'm picking Ed Sheeran as Best New Artist.  But his album + was popular and I loved it, too.  He had hits like "The A Team" and "Lego House" and I like "Wake Me Up" as well.  Sheeran's sound is exactly what a lot of people like these days. 

5.  Best Pop Solo Performance

"Brave" - Sara Bareilles

"Royals" - Lorde

"When I Was Your Man" - Bruno Mars

"Roar" - Katy Perry

"Mirrors" - Justin Timberlake

I don't think I am picking any nominee for this one because all of these songs made me want to punch myself in the stomach last year.  I heard them too much and too many people went crazy over them.  Nope, won't pick. 

There are a lot of categories, so I'll post five a day until I'm done giving my own GRAMMYs away.
