Grammy predictions

Below are some of my predictions for the Grammys, which will be handed out on Sunday. If there's any justice (often there's not with the Grammys), Lil' Wayne, Ne-Yo and Estelle will win in the R&B/rap genres, not the general/pop categories.

RECORD OF THE YEAR
should win: Coldplay/Viva la Vida
will win: Plant & Krauss/Please Read the Letter

ALBUM OF THE YEAR
should win: Radiohead/In Rainbows
will win: Plant & Krauss/Raising Sand
>I'd also be happy with a Coldplay win

SONG OF THE YEAR
should win: Coldplay/Viva la Vida
will win: Adele/Chasing Pavements

BEST NEW ARTIST
should win: Duffy
will win: Adele
>Jonas Bros. have released other albums prior to the eligibility period and shouldn't even be included here. Of course that hasn't stopped previous winners (Shelby Lynne)

ROCK SONG
should win: Girls in Their Summer Clothes/Bruce Springsteen
will win: Girls in Their Summer Clothes/Bruce Springsteen
>Since The Boss was inexplicably shut out of Album of the Year for "Magic," I think the Academy will throw him a bone here; it's a tough category with Radiohead, Death Cab for Cutie, Kings of Leon, Coldplay all deserving noms

ROCK ALBUM
should win: Kings of Leon
will win: Coldplay

ALTERNATIVE ALBUM
should win: My Morning Jacket
will win: Radiohead
