The Price Is Right

In case you’re not aware, I’ve been known to have psychic powers…so the time has come for me to make my Grammy predictions. This week as the Grammy awards approach, I plan to foretell who will win the award in a few categories of particular interest. After the awards air, I’ll check back with you to confirm my predictions were accurate, therefore proving I am clairvoyant once and for all. The first category I would like to discuss is Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. And the nominees are…. Faith Evans “Gone Already”, Fantasia “Bittersweet”, Monica “Everything to Me”, Kelly Price “Tired” and Jazmine Sullivan “Holding You Down (Going in Circles)”. Ooh, this is a tough one. This is hard because each nominee is a great singer, so it is hard to pick a clear favorite, but if we’re talking about best vocal performance we have to focus on the quality of the nominated song…and for that reason, Faith Evans is ‘gone already’. She’s out of the running and so is Jazmine Sullivan, though I love her voice, “Going in Circles” isn’t her best vocal performance. So that leaves Fantasia, Monica and Kelly Price. I really believe the award should go to Kelly Price. Out of the options, she has the best vocal performance, but that song isn’t as popular as the others so I wonder if it would get the recognition it deserves. My psychic powers are telling me that Monica will receive the Grammy for “Everything to Me”. However, I think Kelly Price deserves to win for singing the mess out of that damn song.

Also, take a second to vote on the poll to your right and let me know who you think should win so I can see if we’re on the same page.
