My Music Awards III

It's here again -- and so fast! Grammy nominations will be announced live Wednesday night on CBS. Take a look at who I think will be nominated and who should actually win. These are my choices.

Record of the Year:
"Bad Romance" - Lady Gaga.
Was there a bigger song out there this year? Probably not. I'm hoping and praying that this is the song Lady Gaga get's nominated for in this category. Hopefully it won't be "Alejandro" or "Telephone" with Beyoncé. While both of those other songs rock too, Lady Gaga will have a better shot at winning with "Bad Romance." Unless of course the other big songs of 2010 don't knock her down. Namely, Jay-Z's two huge hits "Empire State of Mind" with Alicia Keys and/or "Run This Town" with Rihanna and Kanye West. His two songs might cancel each other out though and that's going to mean good news for Lady Gaga.

Song of the Year:
"Soldier of Love" - Sade.
Sade is a beating heart personified.

Best New Arist:
Florence + the Machine.
After last year's boring list, this will be the category to watch. We'll see Drake here. Sadly, I'm sure Justin Beiber will be nominated as well. Hopefully, Florence + the Machine too. For me, I'm going to go with the unpopular choice and say that Florence + the Machine is the best new artist of 2010. Ke$ha is my second choice. She's actually a very, very, very close second because she's definitely proven to be the breakthrough artist of the year. With a bunch of top ten hits and a number 1 album, she may very well win this award at the Grammys in February. Last year I was probably the only one in the world to say that the Glee cast should be nominated as a group here too. Will they get a nomination this year? They surely deserve it so if they're nominated, it's going to be a whole different ballgame altogether.

Album of the Year:
"The Fame Monster" - Lady Gaga.
Hello?! Goodbye.

Best Female Pop Vocal Performance:
"Alejandro," or "Bad Romance."
Katy Perry, STFU and STFD.

Best Pop Vocal Album:
"The Fame Monster" - Lady Gaga.
Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" is a great pop album too but she's no Lady Gaga whatsoever.

Best R&B Album
"Element of Freedom" - Alicia Keys.
I'm sure Usher is going to be in the mix here but Usher ain't no Alicia.

Best Dance Recording:
"Dancing on my Own" - Robyn.
The first time I listened to this song, I cried. I was sitting at home watching the music video and the tears just came down. There's a scene towards the end of the video when Robyn's dancing alone in the dark - her moves are fierce and that part really gets me going. The song makes feeling alone bearable.

Best Electronic/Dance Album:
"Body Talk, Pt. 1" - Robyn.

Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal:
"The End" - Kings of Leon.

Best Female R&B Vocal Performance:
"Everything to Me" - Monica.
This is probably the most underrated gem of the year.

Best Female Country Vocal Performance:
"White Liar" - Miranda Lambert.
It's going to be this one or "The House That Built Me." Miranda has had a great year career-wise and both songs are worth the award. I love "White Liar" the most.
