Grammys 2013: Winners We'd Like To See
Best Pop Solo Performance: Set Fire To The Rain (Live at The Royal Albert Hall)- Adele http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ri7-vnrJD3k What really got me here is the Performance part of the category name. Rarely does it happen that a live performance of a track sounds like it was studio recorded, but what Adele did on that stage was near pitch perfect at every turn. The overall show was great as well with the violinists, backup singers, and great light show. This pick is hard to argue with, but Im sure that Kelly Clarkson will still give Adele a run for her money with Stronger also being a nominee. Speaking of which Best Pop Vocal Album: Stronger- Kelly Clarkson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn676-fLq7I The writing on this album is nothing special, the instrumentals arent that great, and the concepts really arent that original at all. Stronger as an album in many categories is just pretty good, but it becomes a lot better when you factor in this categorys namesake: Kelly Clarksons incredible voice. Clarksons voice has always been big, we knew that since we first saw her on American Idol, but the crazy thing is that somewhere along the way, it got a little bit better. I keep hearing that the best pick in this category is Fun. with Some Nights because it is the only album in the group also nominated for Album Of The Year, but I just dont feel like Some Nights was quite as good vocally as Stronger. Heres to hoping the conventional knowledge is wrong.
