pfft at the lack of q-tip. both the song with norah jones and raphael saadiq are better than those

and i hope jazmin sullivan wins for best new artist but she probably wont...idk how she didnt get nominated for best R&B album but boys II men did :|

Superstar better win best rap song...fat_rob

if the big headline performance of SLU isn't a dead giveaway...I dunno what is

Coldplay is up for album of the year? Viva La Vida is the worst project they've ever put out, SMH. Anyway, Carter III is probably going to win best rap album and Adele could win whatever she's up for, "Chasing Pavements" was such a hit.-Twilight-

Radiohead deserves AOTY hands down. But they will prob lose because the other nominees are such media whores.

Worst project that they've released, doesn't mean it's a bad album in general I'd say it has a good chance of winning...

EDIT: Taking into consideration the rest of the best rock album of the year nominees of course.
