歌迷福利：第57屆格萊美提名獨家預測

Best Rock Performance

最佳搖滾演奏

“Gimme Something Good” – Ryan Adams

“Do I Wanna Know?” – Arctic Monkeys

“Blue Moon” – Beck

“Fever” – The Black Keys

“Lazaretto” – Jack White

Note: All these songs, save Arctic Monkeys’, are nominated for Best Rock Song too, so that doesn’t help clarify anything. So is it going to be a BlackKeys or Jack White kind of year?

注：除了北極猴子樂隊的歌曲，所有其他的候選歌曲都同時被提名為最佳搖滾歌曲，所以在此很難判斷。也許今年黑鍵樂團或者杰克·懷特會贏也說不定。

Best Metal Performance

最佳金屬演奏

“Neon Knights” – Anthrax

“High Road” – Mastodon

“Heartbreaker” – Motorhead

“The Negative One” – Slipknot

“The Last in Line” – Tenacious D

Note: Anthrax has been nominated every year since 2007. The winner in 2006? Slipknot. The winner in 2005? Motorhead. Mastodon has been nominated a ton, but has never won. It comes down to Motorhead and Slipknot, and I think the latter is more the academy’s view on metal’s preference.

注：炭疽樂隊自2007年以來每年都會獲得提名。2006年的贏家是誰?Slipknot。2005年的贏家是誰?乳齒象樂隊無數(shù)次獲得提名，但是從來沒有獲獎過。那么獲獎者應該在 Motorhead 和Slipknot兩者之間，我覺得后者更符合評委會對金屬音樂的眼光和偏好。

Best Rock Song

最佳搖滾歌曲

“Ain’t It Fun” – Paramore

“Blue Moon” – Beck

“Fever” – The Black Keys

“Gimme Something Good” – Ryan Adams

“Lazaretto” – Jack White

Note: Beck being nominated for Album of the Year confuses things more. I’m going to stick with my Jack White clean sweep.

注：Beck也獲得了年度最佳唱片的提名，所以事情就更撲朔難辨了。我還是堅持一邊倒的觀點，支持杰克·懷特獲勝吧。

Best Rock Album

最佳搖滾專輯

Ryan Adams – Ryan Adams

Morning Phase – Beck

Turn Blue – The Black Keys

Hypnotic Eye – Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Songs of Innocence – U2

Note: Again, logic dictates a Beck win, and that’s what I’m going with, but someone else winning wouldn’t surprise me at all.

注：再一次，按道理beck應該會贏，我就認定他會贏吧。不過如果贏家另有其人，我也絲毫不會感到意外。

Best Alternative Music Album

最佳另類音樂專輯

This Is All Yours – alt-J

Reflektor – Arcade Fire

Melophobia – Cage the Elephant

St. Vincent – St. Vincent

Lazaretto – Jack White

Note: That sneaky Jack White; he entered his rock album in a different category! Sly devil. You earn yourself a win for that!

注：狡猾的杰克·懷特將自己的搖滾專輯歸入了另一個類別!真是個滑頭的壞蛋!為了你的小伎倆你也應該獲獎!

Best R&B Performance

最佳R&B歌手

“Drunk in Love” – Beyoncé feat. Jay Z

“New Flame” – Chris Brown feat. Usher & Rick Ross

“It’s Your World” – Jennifer Hudson feat. R Kelly

“Like THis” – Ledisi

“Good Kisser” – Usher

Note: A Jennifer Hudson/R Kelly combo is intriguing, but I think Beyoncé takes this

注：珍妮佛·哈德森與羅伯特·凱利聯(lián)手的陣容非常有誘惑力，不過我認為還是碧昂斯會獲獎。

Best R&B Song

最佳R&B歌曲

“Drunk In Love” – Beyoncé feat. Jay Z

“Good Kisser” – Usher

“New Flame” – Chris Brown feat. Usher & Rick Ross

“Options (Wolfjames Version)” – Luke James feat. Rick Ross)

“The Worst” – Jhene Aiko

Note: Fill up that trophy case, Beyoncé!

注：滿載而歸吧，碧昂斯!

Best Rap Performance

最佳說唱歌手

“3005” – Childish Gambino

“0 to 100 / The Catch Up” – Drake

“Rap God” – Eminem

“I” – Kendrick Lamar

“All I Need Is You” – Lecrae

Note: By Grammy standards, it’s Eminem versus nobody, so Eminem wins.

注：從格萊美的評獎標準來看，這個獎項阿姆無人能及，所以阿姆贏定了。

Best Rap/Sung Collaboration

最佳說唱歌曲合作

“Blak Majik” – Common feat. Jhene Aiko

“The Monster” – Eminem & Rihanna

“Tuesday” – I Love Makonnen feat. Drake

“Studio” – Schoolboy Q feat. BJ the Chicago Kid

“Bound 2″ – Kanye West & Charlie Wilson

Note: Well, at least this one has competition: Eminem’s legacy versus Kanye’s. Eminem gets a step up because of Rihanna’s inclusion, though Bound 2 made the bigger splash via its ridiculous music video.

注：好吧，還好這個獎項上有點競爭性：這是阿姆的權威性與卡內的權威性之間的較量。阿姆由于蕾哈娜的加盟更勝一籌，雖然Bound 2 滑稽的音樂視頻得到了更多的關注。

Best Rap Song

最佳說唱歌曲

“Anaconda” – Nicki Minaj

“Bound 2″ – Kanye West & Charlie Wilson

“I” – Kendrick Lamar

“We Dem Boyz” – Wiz Khalifa

“0 to 100 / The Catch Up” – Drake

Note: Here’s the thing: if I don’t know rap, the Grammy’s sure don’t know rap. Wiz Khalifa wins.

注：事實是這樣的：如果我不了解說唱音樂的話，格萊美獎就更不了解說唱音樂了。Wiz Khalifa 肯定會贏。
