Best Female Pop Vocal
- Adele - "Chasing Pavements"
- Sara Bareilles - "Love Song"
- Duffy - "Mercy"
- Leona Lewis - "Bleeding Love"
- Katy Perry - "I Kissed a Girl"
- Pink - "So What"
I think this one is a real horse race between the newcomers Adele and Duffy. Here I think Adele should and will take home the trophy for an enduring, stunning vocal performance.
Best Male Pop Vocal
- Kid Rock - "All Summer Long"
- John Mayer - "Say"
- Paul McCartney - "That Was Me"
- Jason Mraz - "I'm Yours"
- Ne-Yo - "Closer"
- James Taylor - "Wichita Lineman"
I think that Ne-Yo's performance outshines the rest here, but in my opinion it's Jason Mraz' breakthrough, feel good performance that will charm voters.
Best Pop Duo or Group With Vocal
- Coldplay - "Viva La Vida"
- Eagles - "Waiting In the Weeds"
- Gnarls Barkley - "Going On"
- Maroon 5 - "Won't Go Home Without You"
- OneRepublic - "Apologize"
Coldplay are easily the class of this field. However, Grammy is notorious for big surprises.
Best Pop Vocal Album
- Sheryl Crow - Detours
- Duffy - Rockferry
- Eagles - Long Road Out of Eden
- Leona Lewis - Spirit
- James Taylor - Covers
Duffy's debut is a stunning collection of impeccable vocals. Leona Lewis will be stiff competition.
