Who Will Win? (Really, It's Who We Want To Win/Should Win)- Grammy Predictions From Your Favorite Blog

Yes, the Grammys are on Sunday. Yet another year of the same people getting the same awards, with the exception of a few upsets (Zac Brown Band beating out MGMT. Not that ZBB is bad, but come on. MGMT is the shit). However repetitive the Grammys might be, we as music bloggers must still report our predictions and general ideas of who really should win this year (not just the popsters, aka Lady Gaga).

So here it is, genre by genre. Oh, and, disclaimer: It would be impossible/ridiculous for us to try and hit every genre since we don't listen to every genre. So we'll just hit the ones we know. The rest is up to you. We'll put who we think will win in bold, and who we think should win in italics.
