It’s
that time of the year again. It has been
a few years since I have posted about the Grammy Awards. It is a huge undertaking, but I enjoy the
research and, most of all, the discoveries I make. It also keeps me up to date on what the
industry embraces. Always interesting to
see how some of these turn out. As in
past years, I will be posting by Field and these are merely my picks for
entertainment purposes.
By
all means, let us all Be Entertained.
First
up are my picks at the very bottom of the ballot, but they are two of my
favorite categories.

we go…

THIS is a TOUGH category.
I really liked three of them, but only one will probably win.
My Pick: WHAT HAPPENED, MISS SIMONE?
My Prediction: AMY
I think AMY has the edge between the two, primarily because
hers was produced by a music label, while SIMONE was released through Netflix.
While I love AMY, I loved MISS SIMONE even more.
