BEST POP DUO/GROUP PERFORMANCE Frontrunner: Tony Bennett & Amy Winehouse - "Body And Soul" Spoiler: Maroon 5 & Christina Aguilera - "Moves Like Jagger"

"The last time Tony Bennett won in this category, it was for a collaboration with Steve Wonder from his album "Duets: An American Classic" in 2006. Six years later he released "Duets II" and is nominated in the same category for his collaboration with the late five time Grammy winner Amy Winehouse. They are expected to win.

Christina Aguilera is previous winner in this category for her collaboration with Lil Kim, Pink & Mya for "Lady Marmalade." She even beat Tony Bennett for his duet with Billy Joel on a cover of "New York State Of Mind" right after 9/11. This time she is collaborating with Maroon 5 on their current hit "Moves Like Jagger." Both Aguilera and Maroon 5 are previous Best New Artist Winners. "Moves Like Jagger" was number one on Billboard's Hot 100 for four weeks. Can lightning strike twice? Can a Christina Aguilera collaboration win over a Tony Bennett collaboration again?"

MAKE YOUR GRAMMY PREDICTIONS: Who will win Pop Duo?

People use the word "pop" wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy TOO MUCH for any and every thing. How the hell is a jazz song a pop song?

I have a feeling it may be "Moves Like Jagger"

[MDPA]

Moves Like Jagger is a horrid song. I don't understand why two people that have really good voices, especially Christina, waste their talents on horrible music. It just doesn't make sense. Im hoping Body and Soul for sheer quality beats out Moves Like Jagger.

I was just going to make a new thread to post about the Grammys and then saw that you started a Grammy thread already, I hope that you don't mind that I add this...



Was just thinking back to the 2008 Grammys and that great expression Amy had on her face for not only winning Record of the year, but because one of her biggest idols had announced her name as the winner. This is such a bittersweet occasion, I really wish Amy knew that singing with Tony in that studio in March was going to lead to her being nominated for Grammy #6. Out of all of the great talents on Duets II, she was the 'one' that really did shine enough to get the Grammys attention for a nomination. This year Tony won't be announcing her name like in 2008, but they will be announcing her name along with Tony's, I can only imagine how amazed Amy would have been by this. Well, Tony will be there in 'Body' and Amy will be there in 'Soul'.

Got my fingers crossed for them, I really hope they win this ...

PS: Moves Like Jagger sounds like somebody popped a can open and poured it out and I really like Christina when she really belts a good song out

I am in Los Angeles for the Grammys. Let's hope our girl will win! I am so proud of both my kids. Mitch

[dunkinz]

please please let Amy and Tone win!!!
;-)

They deserve it. come on, body & soul is a very beautiful song. Maroon 5 & Aguilera can win it some other time, but sadly this is the last chance of Amy win a Grammy

Mitch's presence at Grammy is a good sign I think..

[Tiny Penny]

I hope they win... they genuinely deserve to out of that cohort, by a mile!
Uno, I love the picture of the sheet music and Amy's message! Thanks!

They must win, it'd be a real offense if they didn't. It's gonna be very special because Amy adored (adores) Tony. She only dreamed about meeting him and eventually she not only met him but recorded a song with him and now probably's gonna win a Grammy.
I'm really excited, I'm sure is going to be a magical (and also sad) night. I feel so proud of them both!
How sweet what she wrote for Tony's birthday. I love her more everyday.

I hadn't even thought of that, man that is so sad that she won't be there with Tony again. Although sadly I doubt the song would even be nominated if Amy hadn't passed away.

I sadly think, Moves Like Jagger will win. Coz, you know. For many people, jazz is really hard to listen. They say it's boring. But they really love stupid lyriced songs. But I pray for Amy, I hope Body and Soul win...

[Amy Jenna Harper]

Hope they will win..deserve it..

But it's not pop music..When I see that ..I have to blow it?Really..get my nerves..it's not pop music..anyway

I hope they'll win because Amy deserves it and Body and Soul is a great song.But i think that Moves Like Jagger will win this award..as you have already written,jazz is less popular than pop.. Moves Like Jagger is horrible..i hate that song.

[carla spain]

I really hope amy can win her last grammy but i'm happy and sad at the same time because she's not here to receive the award.

[paulh202]

Really hope this song wins! Amy was so proud of her duet with Tony and good how their performance turned out, and I know her dad and family would be so proud for her awesome talent to be recognised once again at the grammys, looking at the other nominations its the best song by a country mile, whatever genre of music the "experts" class it as.

Great pic by the way Uno! hope you don't mind if I share this with Sam on FB?
