User blog:StrangerThanTad/Grammys 2018 nominations, thoughts, and predictions

The nominations for the 2018 Grammys have been announced, and I have some thoughts and predictions. I have never kept up with the Grammys until now, and I have some things to say.

Album of the Year Nominations: "DAMN", "4:44", "24K Magic", "Awaken, My Love!", "Melodrama". I have not listened to any of these albums all the way through, but I have heard at least 1 song from each of these albums except for Jay-Z's. I'm pretty sure "DAMN" is gonna get the award, as critics and fans seem to love it. Gambino's new album sounds terrible to me. I like Lorde's older stuff, but haven't really listened to Melodrama.

Record of the Year: Despacito, Redbone, The Story of O.J., Humble, 24K Magic

To be honest, these nominees are really not great. If "Despacito" wins, I will give up hope in America. I have not yet heard "The Story of O.J." I don't care for "Humble" lyrically, but the beat is ALRIGHT (know what I'm saying?).

Song of the Year: Despacito, 1-800, Issues, That's What I Like, 4:44

"Despacito" was nominated in BOTH CATEGORIES?! This drives me crazy, and, once again, I will be extremely disappointed if it wins in this category. I can't comprehend why "issues" was even nominated. I really like 1-800, and I think it has a fair chance and getting the award.

Best New Artist: Alessia Ciara, Khalid, SZA, Lil Uzi Vert, Julia Michaels

I have never heard of SZA song, so I don't know what to think about her. Julia Michaels should not have been nominated, but AC and Khalid are both really good artist. I would really like it if AC wins, but I feel like Khalid going to get the award, which he deserves probably just as much as AC.
