Who should win: Adele. Can we all agree about just exactly who has this one in the bag? Eighteen weeks at No 1. Seventeen million albums sold worldwide. Three back to back No 1 singles. This situation was just made for Adele to win.
谁将是实至名归的赢家：阿黛尔。如果你想问，为什么我们这么确定该奖项一定是这位歌手的囊中之物？来看看吧！18周冠军纪录。全球1700万的专辑销量。连续三次登顶冠军单曲。这种情况之下，最大赢家舍阿黛尔其谁。
Who will win: Adele. Well, other albums are incredibly solid, but they should all agree that it was “nice to be nominated” and bow down to Queen Adele.

Best New Artist
最佳新人
The Band Perry
美国乡村乐队The Band Perry
Bon Iver
本·艾维
J. Cole
美国嘻哈歌手J. Cole
Nicki Minaj
妮琪·米娜
Skrillex
美国电子新锐Skrillex
Who should win: Nicki Minaj. She’s the most popular one out of all the members in this category. In the past year, she had a No 1 album Pink Friday with hit songs like Super Bass, and appeared in the works of big names such as Britney Spears, Rihanna and Madonna.
谁将是实至名归的赢家：妮琪·米娜。在该组奖项候选人之中她是人气最高的一位。在过去的一年里，她凭借《Super Bass》等热门单曲创造了最畅销专辑《Pink Friday》，并且常常会在布兰妮·斯皮尔斯、蕾哈娜和麦当娜等重量级明星的作品中现身。
Who will win: J. Cole. Minaj’s popularity almost guarantees a loss. Why? Because while the award is usually handed to the person who produced great quality work, it’s also like a punch to the ego of a popular artist.
谁将胜出：美国嘻哈歌手J. Cole。妮琪·米娜的高人气也注定她有所失去。为什么？因为格莱美往往会出产高质量作品的人抛出橄榄枝，同时也会给那些春风得意的热门艺人一点打击。
Best Pop Solo Performance
最佳流行歌手
Adele – Someone Like You
阿黛尔——《Someone Like You》
Lady Gaga – You and I
Lady Gaga——《You and I》
Bruno Mars – Grenade
布鲁诺·玛斯——《Grenade》
Katy Perry – Firework
凯蒂·佩里——《Firework》
Pink – Less Than Perfect
Pink（粉红佳人）——《Less Than Perfect》
Who should win: Lady Gaga. While she may not have a chance for Album of the Year, she should take away this one due to her amazing performance in You and I, an old-school jazz piano ballad – a refreshing addition to this year’s smut.
谁将是实至名归的赢家：Lady Gaga。尽管她没有机会角逐年度最佳专辑，但她应该凭借在《You and I》中的精彩表演而摘得这个奖项，这首带有老牌爵士色彩的钢琴民谣无疑为今年这些爆粗口歌曲带来一点清新之感。
Who will win: Bruno Mars. As the only song that is nominated for both Record and Song of the Year, Grenade is also the highlight song of Mars’ career so far.
