It’s getting close to that time to crown the Kings and Queens of the music industry. The 55th Annual Grammy Awards will be taking place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The event will be televised Sunday, February 10 8/7C on CBS. The Recording Academy announced Bruno Mars, Rihanna and Sting would be performing together for the evening. Talk about star power! It has also been reported that Beyoncé, Prince, and Jennifer Lopez will be presenters. Mumford & Sons, Fun., Jay-Z, Kanye West, The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach and Frank Ocean tie for the most nominations. Six to be exact. I’ve decided to make a few predictions this year to see how they compare to the official outcomes. I made my picks in the most popular categories. Gulp. We want you predicting also! Let us know who you think will win what @Serial_Optimist.
