Did you
remember to check out the 2012 Grammy nominations on CBS? Some
of our fave music moguls of the year made the list, including Kanye
West, Adele, Bruno Mars, and many more. Take a peek at the top five
categories we're looking forward to:
Record
of the Year:
Rolling in the Deep -
Adele
Holocene
- Bon Iver
Grenade -
Bruno Mars
The Cave -
Mumford & Sons
Firework
- Katy Perry
We're
def pulling for Katy Perry in this one. “Firework” was
the tune of the summer, not to mention the album as a whole.
New
Artist:
The Band
Perry
Bon Iver
J. Cole
Nicki Minaj
Skrillex
Nicki
Minaj stepped out onto the scene with a bang. Our guess? She'll
be sticking around for a while. Minaj gets our vote.
Catch
Lady Gaga and Surgarland’s performance of “You and I” from the
2012 Grammy Nominations concert…
Song
of the Year:
"All
of the Lights" - performed by Kanye West, Rihanna, Kid Cudi and
Fergie
"The Cave" - Mumford & Sons
"Grenade"
- Bruno Mars
"Holocene" - Bon Iver
"Rolling in
the Deep" - Adele
Yeah, sure, maybe "Rolling
in the Deep" played on
the radio to the point of driving you crazy, but it's obvi a huge
hit. Nobody brings up heartbreak in a catchier way than
Adele.
Country

My Kinda Party
- Jason Aldean
Chief
- Eric Church
Own
the Night - Lady
Antebellum
Red River Blue
- Blake Shelton
Here for
a Good Time - George

TSwift fans, unite. You know we have her back
for this one. Sorry, country stars, but Taylor Swift is just too
relatable to pass up.

Nominations concert below…

The Lady Killer

We're
gonna have to side with Gaga here. Pop music is always best
when you can sing along, and Gaga's got that down.
