Remember when Steely Dan beat out Eminem to win Album of the Year honours two years ago? Or last year when India.Arie was sent home empty handed despite having seven nominations? It?s nearly impossible to figure out what the voters are thinking when they vote.
Here are andPOP?s choices for who should win and who will win in the major categories. We?ll tell you how we did on Monday. Of course, if we do so badly, we might just delete this article so it seems like we never voted at all!
