We need a viral “it’s time” Mariah Carey x Christmas moment but for Gaga x Halloween 

Michael and Bobby, make it happen

I’m almost certain that Christmas as a whole will disappear/mutate in the next 20 years, and partially BECAUSE of Mariah.

The amount of times I’ve heard “it’s tiiiiiime” this year already is something

At this rate future generations will forget it’s about Jesus and think it’s Mariah bday or something

I mean let's be real, Mayhem going for Dance/Electronic Album is the smarter move, it's basically a secured Grammy, same with Abra going for Dance Pop Recording instead of Pop Solo. Charli secured these two categories this year while she saw the rest of Brat being snubbed in every other category despite being one of the favorites to sweep (I'd love to see Mayhem winning AOTY, but competition is tough).

I know y'all want Pop Vocal Album (so do I), but going for Dance/Electronic would be more impactful as Gaga will become the first female to win that category twice and only the fourth act to win on multiple occasions. For Pop Vocal Album we've had three female acts winning twice (Taylor, Kelly, and Adele). I feel Gaga has a solid legacy to have enough votes to win Pop Vocal Album over Sabrina and Tate, but I rather not taking the chances, specially since the Pop committee has a history of favoring younger talents. This category in particular usually rewards the album with the most hits (not Mayhem, sadly).

Also VIY going for Pop Solo seems like the smarter move, Gaga was able to pulled off a win with "Joanne" due to the strong and emotional vocal delivery (and ASIB's momentum), even going against "Havana" (arguably the most popular female song of that year) and "God is a woman" (one of Ariana's best vocal deliveries). 

Abra also shouldn't have a problem winning Best Music Video (unless Brighter Days Ahead can be considered a MV).

Mayhem wont be accepted in Dance/Electronic submission for the amount of intrument heavy songs and ballads in it. It deviates from the purpose of the category. The screening committe would most likely move it back to BPVA if they tried to anyway.

Sabrina is arguably not in the highest of peaks rn. Her album did better numbers, but critically it did decrease. she also already lost the novelty that she had with SnS where her whole "it takes 10 years to make it", narrative and "picture-finish race" in the Best New Artist category were happening. She also lacks an Espresso. Yes, Manchild and Tears are decent hits, but neither "dominated" the summer nor have been out enough time to earn a "song or record of the year" quality. I get why people see Sabrina as a threat, so did I! But after seeing the conversations revolving around the album, after the controversies, and even going as far as to looking at her scheduling conflicts with her tour and grammy campaign (She'll still be tourng SNS tour until late november, well past the optimal time to campaign), there's just little chance she will be able to bulldoze every nominee in BPV Album, and by the time she manages to surpass every other artist, she has to face Gaga, which is the biggest titan in this year's line up. Gaga has more history, more acclaim, and more weight as an artist. Yes, we can be cautiously optimistic, but I personally do not see Sabrina winning anything this year.

Man's Best Friend is pretty much mirroring every trend regarding the "follow-up album to a successful era" trope. Billie's "Happier than Ever", Olivia's "Guts" and Dua Lipa's "Radical Optimism", all failed to win or even be nominated at the grammys despite being successful chart toppers by "hot and peak" artists. Not even "The Tortured Poets Department" was able to win a grammy award following Midnights. Why? because voters were still fresh on the juggernaut that the previous album was. I really encourage people to look at the trends, members tend to vote based on trends, subconscious or not.

Sabrina's ultimate downfall is the bar she herself set last year. 

Not sure why you are disagreeing about Kendrick. We have the same opinion lol. The thing I will say tho, is that even if his album had multiple smash hits, they all happened in late 2024. I'm still putting him on the lead, but recency bias is a true thing that happens and someone with a very strong and aggressive campaign could eclipse him- granted their album was successful and acclaimed too-, Gaga just so happens to meet those characteristics, and so does Bad Bunny. And like I said, Gaga's chances of not winning are very high too, but she does have the statistical advantage.  When i speak about this I am factoring variables people who typically just think about "cultural acclaim" ignore, like the demographic composition of the voting pull, size of the voting blocks, voting tendencies, etc. There is a lot of variables, and where Kendrick has the upper hand in one, Gaga has the upper hand on another. Lets remember Kendrick lost AOTY 4 times, and several of those times to pop records. Pop just happens to have a natural advantage over all genres. It will be a hell of a race to see. His strongest case is his overdue narrative, not so much the album itself imo. If I were Gaga, I would be pushing this narrative too, she has lost just as many times. Michael should get on it!

About your picks! I agree with all of them. I do think Abracadabra winning Best Direction at the VMA's is a great pre-course award cause its a category that is not fan voted, unlike VOTY. It also won Best Art Direction, which is also industry voted. Abra was also the only video that was nominated in all technical categories. I think it has a shot at a nom. 

In more "wildcard" nominations, I can see her pulling one in Best Pop Solo with Vanish Into You, and maybe a very random category like Best Album Cover. 

Love your thoughtful response and agree we have similar outcomes for the ceremony in our heads. Youre just seeing in a more positive light and me on a more cautious one hahah

Def think Sabrina is heading to a sophomore blackout like Olivia and Billie did as well. However despite less excitment in comparison to SNS (another bland album imo) she still has so much support from people online that could grant her enough votes. That's why I dont go out calling Mayhem a lock, but a good frontrunner.

And yeah AOTY is a wildcard. Kendrick disappearing from media for months to focus on his tour def give a vibe as if his era is fading. But he still had a 11 week #1 this year and GNX scored multiple 10 hits. It is huge even if hes not much in the spotlight post SB.

Gaga's determination to this era is def a plus for her, and this feels genuine as an excitment for her work. This will be paid off in some extent tho still unsure if in GF categories or not.
