#ERocks – 2018 GRAMMYs Predictions

Ruben Perez Jr

The biggest night in music happens Sunday, January 28, the 60th anniversary of the GRAMMYs will be held at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York City hosted by James Corden.

2018 nominations were dominated by hip-hop and R&B artists, Jay Z, Kendrick Lamar, Bruno Mars, and Childish Gambino. Other artists nominated include Kelly Clarkson, Ed Sheeran, Lorde, Imagine Dragons, Logic, Khalid, Alessia Cara, Luis Fonsi, and more.

Every year we sit at home, er, we mean the office and watch the GRAMMYs, but this year we’re doing things a bit different. We’ll still be watching the GRAMMYs from the “office,” but we’re also sharing our predictions of who we think will take home the golden Gramophone. We’re hoping to get a couple of these predictions correctly because if we don’t then we have to take a shot of tequila for every prediction we get wrong and there’s a lot of categories, so, this could be interesting.
