Dianne Warren + Industry insiders comment on 2017 Grammys Artists to watch.

[Loyalty 3,904]

From Beyoncé to Adele to the presumed Prince tribute, here's what industry insiders predict for the 2017 Grammys.

 Adele, Beyoncé and David Bowie are locks for album of the year nominations, but Adele and Beyoncé could cancel each other out." -- Diane Warren, songwriter

"There's no way we won't get a Prince tribute, and there's no way Questlove won't be involved. I can see Beyoncé having a moment and Dave Grohl crushing the guitar solo on 'Purple Rain.' The Grammys love Dave Grohl."   -- Jess Besack, director of music programming, SiriusXM

"It will be interesting to see how voters treat Kanye, Chance the Rapper and Drake. Will they finally grasp that hip-hop is the most fearlessly experimental category of popular music, bar none?" -- Mike Caren, creative officer, Warner Music Group

"Paul Simon's Stranger to Stranger and Sturgill Simpson's A Sailor's Guide to Earth have real shots at getting lots of nominations." -- Danny Strick, co-president, Sony/ATV U.S. Music Publishing

YESSS. Although Kanye and Drake's latest albums are not up-to-par with their preceding albums, I still like this quote a lot.

Hopefully PI becomes a hit and a contender 

[Shipper 13,078]

I want Bowie to win AOTY. 

Blackstar is not a dying man's album like some think but a young man trying to venture beyond his limits and beyond the stars.
