The 60th GRAMMY Awards, who should win & who will win?!


The 60th GRAMMY Awards will be held in New York, on January 28th and I think that it's the perfect time to talk about the nominations from this year. The truth is that since the nominees where released, there were a lot of opinions aginst it, because there were some artists that weren't in the list (and others that shouldn't be there , as always). Today, I will tell you who should win and who will win, according to my thoughts, remember this is Jus' Sayingg! (I will choose the 20 most interesting categories)

1. Record Of The Year
(Award to the Artist and to the Producer(s), Recording Engineer(s) and/or Mixer(s) and mastering engineer(s), if other than the artist.)

• Redbone - Childish Gambino: This song should win, I really love everything in this track.
• HUMBLE. - Kendrick Lamar: However, I feel like this song will win this category.
• Despacito - Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee Featuring Justin Bieber

• That's What I Like (Bruno Mars): The truth is that I'm not pretty sure of who should win in this category, but personally, this song by Bruno is the best one in this list (according to me).
• Despacito (Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee Featuring Justin Bieber): But I just don't know why, but I feel like this song will win and I'm not very happy with it (I just don't like it).

• Julia Michaels

5. Best Pop Solo Performance
