But I’m going with something of an upset as The Black Keys horn in on Ocean’s fun.įekadu: The Black Keys are strong contenders, but this award has to go to Gotye, whose oddball pop song was last year’s biggest hit. And “Stronger’’ and “We Are Young’’ were nominated for song of the year as well, a sign voters pretty much universally loved them.
If “Thinkin Bout You’’ wins here, there will be no doubt these are Ocean’s Grammys. And this year’s overstuffed field makes it no easier. Talbott: This category has been especially hard to predict over the last decade, with no real trend among the winners. featuring Janelle Monae “Somebody That I Used to Know,’’ Gotye featuring Kimbra “Thinkin Bout You,’’ Frank Ocean “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,’’ Taylor Swift.
