Anyways time for my very special announcment!

Welcome one and all to the first ever Needles&Grooves Grammy pool!

I am Fleetwood-Matt and I will be the host for this!



I (obviously) am a huge fan of the Grammys, no matter how questionable they tend to be, and I wanted to take this; my favorite time of the year; to have some fun and to do something nice for the forum! So lets do a Grammy Pool!



The Rules

The rules are simple to do but annoying to explain lol, take the survey and fill out each option by how likely you think each album/song is to win (first choice for most likely, second choice for second most likely, fifth/eighth choice for least likely etc). On Grammy Night, you will get points based on how likely you said they were to win (example if you had Billie as your 7th choice for aoty last year, you would get 7 points for that category). At the end of it all ill add up your points and the person with the LOWEST score wins! In the event of a tie I’ll do a drawing to decide who officially wins. You have until the start of the Grammys (February 10th, 2021 8ish) to submit the survey

I chose not to do all categories and instead did a select few from each “major” genre and all for of the general fields to make it easier on myself.



The Prize(s)

The person with the lowest score will receive a $30 Bandcamp gift card!!!! (well one $10 and one $20 card)



The Survey

Ill post the google form link here once its finished



I hope to have a good amount of people playing and if you join, I hope you have fun!

You're right, The Weeknd had zero nominations. That's weird. I'm not a fan of his music but i was sure "Blinding lights" would get a lot of nominations, that song is everywhere. The Dixie Chicks also got zero nominations. BUT COLDPLAY IS ALBUM OF THE MOTHERFUCKING YEAR
 
Remember a year ago when the Black Pumas were nominated for a 2020 Grammy as Best New Artist based on their 2019 S/T album...

Guess they knew what they were doing when they re-released it as a "Deluxe Edition"...
  • 2021 Record of the Year Nomination: Colors, by Black Pumas
  • 2021 Album of the Year Nomination: Black Pumas [Deluxe Edition]
  • 2021 Best American Roots Performance: Colors, by Black Pumas
Looking forward to the 2021 "Superior Edition" and the 2022 nominations.
