48th Grammy Prediction: Winners Will Be…(Part 1)

【第48回グラミー賞予想(パート1)】

難問。

いよいよ第48回グラミー賞が間近に迫った。今年は2月8日(水曜=日本時間、9日木曜午後10時から)に発表される。例年、授賞式は日曜だが、今年は水曜になっている。今年のハイライトは、マライア・キャリーが何部門取るかといったあたり。

ザ・ソウル・サーチャーの予想は、なんと主要3部門の本命はマライアになってしまった。ひょっとしてひとつくらい落すかもしれないが、どれを落すかが読めない。アルバムがU2になるのだろうか。

去年は主要4部門中、3部門が当たったが、今年はどうなることやら。どのノミネートも、部門も難問ばかりだ。

パート1は、ポップ、ロック部門まで。明日のパート2でR&B、ラップ、その他の部門を行きます。目標は本命で4割、対抗とあわせて6割。昨年は本命で.565、対抗を含めて.717だった。また、『ソウル・ブレンズ』の2月5日(日)の「ソウル・サーチン」の枠を30分に拡大して、「グラミー予想」を放送します。
