Anticipation builds as we get closer to the 55th GRAMMY Awards airing on Sunday, February 10th on CBS at 8pm. So much has changed in the past year in regards to the music industry, including the passing of the late great Whitney Houston on the eve of the biggest night in music! We have also seen some of the best performances, like Beyonce's electrifying Super Bowl Half Time show! Sunday night marks the pinnacle for artists, producers, songwriters, managers, publicists, and anyone else involved in the process of developing a GRAMMY nominee over the past year (See some of my predictions below in bold), especially the coveted new artist award. The diverse nominations for the Best New Artist category includes Frank Ocean, fun., The Lumineers, Hunter hayes, and The Alabama Shakes...who do you think will win? Hopefully my faves walk away with their golden gramophone, especially Rihanna who I can't wait to see hit the stage! |
