  Best New Artist
 
  最佳新人
 
  The Band Perry

  美国嘻哈歌手J. Cole
 
  Nicki Minaj
 
  妮琪?米娜
 
  Skrillex

  Who should win: Nicki Minaj. She’s the most popular one out of all the members in this category. In the past year, she had a No 1 album Pink Friday with hit songs like Super Bass, and appeared in the works of big names such as Britney Spears, Rihanna and Madonna.
 
  谁将是实至名归的赢家:妮琪?米娜。在该组奖项候选人之中她是人气最高的一位。在过去的一年里,她凭借《Super Bass》等热门单曲创造了最畅销专辑《Pink Friday》,并且常常会在布兰妮?斯皮尔斯、蕾哈娜和麦当娜等重量级明星的作品中现身。
 
  Who will win: J. Cole. Minaj’s popularity almost guarantees a loss. Why? Because while the award is usually handed to the person who produced great quality work, it’s also like a punch to the ego of a popular artist.
 
  谁将胜出:美国嘻哈歌手J. Cole。妮琪?米娜的高人气也注定她会与格莱美失之交臂。为什么?因为格莱美往往会对出产高质量作品的人抛出橄榄枝,同时也会给那些春风得意的热门艺人一点打击。

  Who should win: Lady Gaga. While she may not have a chance for Album of the Year, she should take away this one due to her amazing performance in You and I, an old-school jazz piano ballad – a refreshing addition to this year’s smut.
 
  谁将是实至名归的赢家:Lady Gaga。尽管她没有机会角逐年度最佳专辑,但她应该凭借在《You and I》中的精彩表演而摘得这个奖项,这首带有老派爵士色彩的钢琴民谣无疑为今年的低俗歌曲带来一点清新之感。
 
  Who will win: Bruno Mars. As the only song that is nominated for both Record and Song of the Year, Grenade is also the highlight song of Mars’ career so far.
 
  谁将胜出:布鲁诺?玛斯。作为唯一一首同时角逐“年度制作”和“年度歌曲”两大奖项的歌曲,《Grenade》同时也是布鲁诺?玛斯目前音乐生涯中的最佳作品。
