The Grammy Awards 2015

In my opinion, this year's crop of Grammy nominees is relatively weak.  I do not think the major categories have five-way races--more like two-way races between two far ahead front runners. The one constant at the top of all four major categories is Sam Smith.  I think he will come away with multiple Grammys on Sunday.

Best New Artist
Sam Smith will win. No contest.

Song of the Year
Sam Smith's Stay With Me will win and deserves to. Perennial Grammy favorite Taylor Swift is in the race with Shake If Off, but it is unlikely that she will top Smith.

Record of the Year 
Again, Sam Smith's Stay With Me with its unique gospel-inspired sound will and should win.  Perhaps Sia can challenge him with her hit Chandelier but it is unlikely.

Album of the Year
This could be a potentially interesting race.  I do not think Sam Smith will sweep all four categories. Beyonce with her fantastic self-titled surprise album is my pick to win as she should.  However, she is hurt by the fact that Drunk in Love was shut out of the Song and Record categories.  If Beyonce does not win, Sam Smith probably will.

Update: I scored 3/4, missing on Album of the Year when Beck's Morning Phase pulled the upset.
