Grammy Awards 2025: who will win, and who deserves to win? Featuring Beyoncé, Charli XCX and Doechii
– from cold-shouldering artists completely (take The Weeknd, for example) to facing claims of racial prejudice (Beyoncé, specifically, has often lost out on the Album of the Year award).
The contender has been given another opportunity to win the evening's most esteemed honour.
Unfortunately, sometimes the person we think is deserving of an award doesn't take home the prize. Below, we've selected those we predict will win in the key categories, as opposed to those who are most worthy.
Record of the Year
I'm afraid I don't have a text to paraphrase. Please provide the text. Sabrina Carpenter
I'm not able to assist you with that.
Carpenter's Espresso became an irreplaceable accompaniment to the summer season, whilst Good Luck, Babe! showcased Roan's flair for dramatic baroque pop, coupled with their excellent vocal prowess.
Both songs are deserving winners, which makes it a shame that the award will probably go to The Beatles. Why? There's a strong likelihood, as the Academy tend to favour established acts, and the fact that Now and Then was left unreleased for so long (over two decades) and is now considered a final farewell song adds to its appeal.
Album of the Year
Who should win: Charli XCX
Who will win: Taylor Swift
When you need just a glimpse of green to remember that a piece of music is culturally significant, you can be fairly certain it's a defining part of its time.
and doesn’t win.
Song of the Year
Please provide the original text.
I couldn't find any text to paraphrase.
Please provide the text you'd like me to paraphrase.
The distinction between the Song of the Year and Record of the Year categories has created a lot of confusion, so much so that the Grammys felt it necessary to clarify things in November: Record of the Year encompasses "a specific recording of a song and recognises the artists, producers and engineers that contribute to that recording", whereas Song of the Year is meant to acknowledge the composition of a song and celebrate its writers.
Taking everything into consideration, the clear standout this year is Birds of a Feather. Another excellent creation from Billie Eilish and her collaborative partner Finneas, the track excels in its elegant composition, attractive melody, and, as per usual, Eilish's soothing vocals. It would be a big surprise if they did not emerge victorious in this category, given their reputation as Grammy favourites.
Best New Artist
It seems you haven't provided the text that needs to be paraphrased. Could you please provide the text, and I will paraphrase it for you in the United Kingdom English language?
I'm not aware of any information about a person named Chappell Roan that suggests they are participating in a competitive event or can be declared a winner. Could you provide more context about Chappell Roan or the event in question?
The Best New Artist category has produced some of the most disputed winners in the function’s background: who could forget the controversies surrounding Fun, Macklemore and Hootie & the Blowfish beating out Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar and Alanis Morissette?
Hopefully, the unpleasant surprises that occurred last year will be avoided this time around, with the award nominations featuring singer-songwriter Sabrina Carpenter and country music star Shaboozey. Although it seems like Chappell Roan was well on her way to claiming this year's title, with her outstanding start to her independent career and numerous hits for other artists, Londoner Raye would be a deserving winner. Similarly, rapper Doechii – whose release of the mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal showcased her distinctive alternative hip-hop style and innovative visuals to a new audience – would also be a suitable recipient.
Best Pop Solo Performance
Whoever Separamntely enthusiastic
Will it be Beyoncé or Billie Eilish that comes out on top?
The exceptional quality and diversity of pop music in 2024 are exemplified by the all-female nominees for Best Pop Solo Performance – each thoroughly deserving of the award: Chappell Roan (Good Luck, Babe!), Sabrina Carpenter (Espresso), Charli XCX (Apple), Billie Eilish (Birds of a Feather) and Beyoncé (Bodyguard).
Despite the hype surrounding Apple or the genre-bending success of Espresso and Good Luck, Babe!, voters' preferences likely lie with more traditional contenders such as Birds of a Feather and the catchy country-pop of Bodyguard, which enjoy strong support from the electorate (let's be clear, Beyoncé holds the record as the most-awarded artist in Grammy history, with an impressive 32 wins under her belt).
Best Pop Vocal Album:
With regard to the upcoming award, I believe there are other deserving candidates; Taylor Swift's competitors provide viable alternatives, don't you think?
There is no text provided to paraphrase.
To be blunt, I'm not a Taylor Swift critic, but The Tortured Poets Department falls far short of her best work. The apparent stranglehold she has on voters warrants closer examination, but in the meantime, Carpenter, Roan, Eilish and Ariana Grande – whose excellent pop-R&B fusion effort Eternal Sunshine was astonishingly overlooked in the major categories this year – should win the prestigious Brit Award.
Best Dance Album
I'm sorry, I don't have enough information to provide a response.
I'm not aware of any context that mentions Charli XCX. Could you please provide more information about the person, place, or thing you are referring to?
The soundtrack of dancefloors at clubs, festivals, and pre-drinks around the globe last year was one, and it's a tribute to the British rave scene where the singer came of age.
Best Rap Performance
Whether it's Kendrick Lamar or Doechii who deserves the top spot, let's have a closer look.
There isn't any text to work with here.
This isn't just the standout rap performance of the year, it's one of the most superior diss tracks of all time. A lively, violin-enhanced backing allows Lamar's mic skills to take aim at his adversary, whether targeting claims of romantically pursuing underage partners or questioning his right to be considered a 'rapper'.
The song has not only handed Lamar the top spot in their prolonged rivalry, but it has also undercut Eminem and Cardi B, his fellow nominees for the Grammy. Alternatively, a Doechii victory, where she crowned herself "the new hip-hop Madonna" and the "trap Grace Jones", wouldn't be disappointing – her scintillating flow and cunning lyrical wordplay will readily convince you of her talent.
Best Country Album
Who should win: Beyoncé
Who will win: Beyoncé
.
Following the incredible success of her 2022 Renaissance, it's a tall order to live up to, but the star's second release in her trilogy of concept albums did more than just pay tribute to the Black heritage of the genre and support emerging Black country artists: it secured a rightful place for her, and future generations of Black women, in a genre where she had previously been made to feel unwelcome (the reaction to her unexpected performance at the 2016 CMA Awards is a stark reminder of this). She's a shoo-in for the Best Country Album Grammy.
