- Bonnie Raitt – Just Like That +3500
Top Pick: Adele – Easy on Me
No doubt, a lot of votes will go to Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, and Beyonce. But at the end, Adele wins. The greatest singer on the planet has a terrific song in Easy on Me.
Adele’s greatest songs are the one that stand apart from the albums. Easy on Me is one of Adele’s best. The academy will reward her for it.
Top Underdog Pick: Bonnie Raitt – Just Like That
If you don’t like Adele’s Easy on Me to win Song of the Year, it becomes a free for all. Sure, Beyonce, Harry, Taylor, even Lacy and Lizzo could win. But we should be honest with ourselves.
The academy wants to give the award to Adele. So if you decide to go against her, why not take a chance on Bonnie Raitt? Just Like That is a good old country tune that reminds us how great Bonnie Raitt is.
Record of the Year
- Adele – Easy on Me +100
- Harry Styles – As It Was +150
- Beyonce – Break My Soul +400
- Lizzo – About Damn Time +500
- Steve Lacy – Bad Habit +850
- Brandi Carlisle – You and Me on the Rock +1000
- Kendrick Lamar – The Heart Pt. 5 +1500
- Doja Cat – Woman +2500
- ABBA – Don’t Shut Me Down +3000
- Mary J. Blige – Good Morning Gorgeous +3000
Top Pick: Adele – Easy on Me
No doubt, Adele picks up another Grammy for Record of the Year. Why? All we must do is handicap the odds.
Beyonce has a shot, but she’s at +400, which means her chances of beating Adele, at least according to oddsmakers, is 4-to-1. If it comes down to Adele versus Harry Styles, which the odds suggest it will come down too, Adele should win hands down. By far, she’s the preferred artist from the United Kingdom.
Top Underdog Pick: ABBA – Don’t Shut Me Down
What’s old is new, right? ABBA’s Don’t Shut Me Down harks back to the band’s top hits from the late 1970s and early 1980s. The tune is catchy, the lyrics smart, and it’s positive, which is rare in an increasingly depressed world.
Best New Artist
- Latto -130
- Anitta +350
- Muni Long +400
- Wet Leg +500
- Omar Apollo +1000
- Maneskin +1000
- Samara Joy +1600
- Molly Tuttle +1800
- Tobe Nwige +2000
- Domi and JD Beck +3000
Top Pick: Wet Leg +500
Among the top 3 odds-choices, Latto is the pick. She comes from Cardi B’s School of Badassness. So, yes, another favorite is probably going to win one of the top categories.
Our top pick, though, is Wet Leg. The +500 almost makes Wet Leg an underdog considering the chalk shows -130 odds. But we like a different recording artist for our underdog pick.
Wet Leg could pull off the upset. Their style isn’t for everyone, quirky, a bit 90s alternative as if Belly had a love child with the Violent Femmes, but it’s cool, catchy, and fun.
Top Underdog Pick: Molly Tuttle +1800
Tuttle’s music is good old country and that’s never a bad thing. Tuttle doesn’t necessarily do anything different, but she’s much different than the top 3 odds choices. So if there’s am big upset winner, Molly is likely to be it.
Album of the Year
- Beyonce – Renaissance +150
- Adele – 30 +150
- Harry Styles – Harry’s House +350
- Kendrick Lamar – Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers +700
- Bad Bunny – Un Verano Si Ti +1000
- Brandi Carlisle – In These Silent Days +1600
- Lizzo – Special +2500
- ABBA – Voyage +3300
- Mary J. Blige – Good Morning Gorgeous +4000
- Coldplay – Music of the Spheres +4500
Top Pick: Beyonce – Renaissance +150
Nobody puts together an album quite like Beyonce. Adele usually has one or two songs that stand out. Harry is a cool dude, but he’s no Bey.
Again, nobody puts everything together, style, lyrics, music, you name it, the way Beyonce does. At +150, she’s an overlay.
Top Underdog Pick: Mary J Blige – Good Morning Gorgeous +4000
If you don’t want to go with Beyonce, why not back the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul? On Jan. 11 this year, Mary turned 52.
It’s crazy to think that Mary J and Sean Combs began the hip-hop we know today back in 1991 with What’s the 411?
Will Blige win? Probably not, but if there’s going to be an upset for album of the year, Mary J is it.
