February 13th is creeping up on us, and in no time the Grammy Awards will be knockin' on our front door, with all of music's heavy hitters rubbing their miniature Snooki look alike troll for good luck.
This week's category that More Than Musiq will be looking at is Best New Artist. Here are the nominees:
Justin Bieber
Drake
Florence & The Machine
Mumford & Sons
Esperanza Spalding
Who Will Win: My money's on the new prince of hip hop, Drake. Not only is he well respected in the rap world and on the pop charts, but he's had 2 HUGE years, racking up a number of hit singles and a chart topping debut album.
Who Should Win: While I wouldn't be opposed to Drake taking home the trophy, I think both Florence & The Machine and Mumford & Sons should be recognized for bringing some originality and actual talent to a year in which auto-tune became the new vocal coach.
Unfortunately for Esperanza Spalding, NO ONE actually knows who she is. And for our boy Biebs I think that he's still got a couple more years to earn respect from his elders, but I wouldn't put it past the Grammys to simply hand the kid the prize for sheer ratings gold.
We'll just have to wait until February 13 to find out!!!
