Grammy 2018. In both voting rounds, Academy members are required to vote based upon quality alone, and not to be influenced by sales, chart performance, personal friendships, regional preferences or company loyalty. The acceptance of gifts is prohibited. Members are urged to vote in a manner that preserves the integrity of the academy.
The Recording Academy announced on June 21, 2011 that it had reached a new deal with CBS to keep the awards show on the network for another 10 years. As part of the new contract the network also airs a "nominations concert" special in the last week of November where the nominees are released during the special that is exclusive to CBS, rather than the traditional early-morning press conference with a release of the nominations seen with most major awards ceremonies which any network takes as part of a press pool.

Grammys Lady Gaga 2018
Grammys Lady Gaga 2018. After being introduced by Scarlett Johansson, Lady Gaga ran through My Favourite Things, Edelweiss, Climb Every Mountain – in a pronounced English accent with backing from a string section.
The star teamed up with the production duo of Neil Meron and Craig Zadan, who worked on NBC live specials of the Sound of Music and Peter Pan, and who were producing their third consecutive Oscars.
Speaking on the red carpet before the performance, Gaga said she was proud to be singing songs from a film that “changed music forever and changed the film industry”.
Other performances on the night included host Neil Patrick Harris’s opening number, Moving Pictures– an ode to Hollywood that featured turns from Anna Kendrick and Jack Black. Common and John Legend also performed Glory from Ava DuVernay’s film Selma. David Oyelowo and Chris Pine were left in tears.
There were also songs from Rita Ora and Tim McGraw, who were both nominees in the best original song category alongside Glory, and Jennifer Hudson sang I Can’t Let Go after the in memoriam section.

Grammys Rihanna 2018
Grammys Rihanna 2018 the biggest moment of the night will likely be the onstage collaboration among rapper-producer West, pop singer Rihanna and former Beatle McCartney. Joining to perform their curiously magnetic new ballad "FourFiveSeconds," the union will likely be the buzz of social media throughout the night. Added incentive: What faux pas might Kanye commit?
Let's just hope it won't be the horrible "Play Ball." At the opposite end? Azalea, the ghetto-patois rapper whose nomination for rap album has seemingly infuriated an entire genre.

Grammys Nominations
Grammys Nominations As the exhaustive list of Grammy nominations – there are a bum-numbing 83 categories in total – are slowly trickled out via an awkward press conference and the medium of Twitter, it’s clear already that the evening of 8 February 2016 will likely be a successful one for British balladeer Sam Smith.
Smith, as well as being nominated for the prestigious record of the year for his ubiquitous Stay With Me, also got a nod for the accompanying album In the Lonely Hour. The third-biggest-selling album of 2014 in the US, it is up for best pop vocal album, while Smith is also in the running for best new artist (alongside fellow UK act Bastille) and best pop solo performance. A gambler would probably say he was a shoo-in for best new artist, and the generally risk-adverse Grammy panel will likely see fit to give him an album of the year nod, a category to be announced at a concert tonight.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about the list of Grammy nominations, in any year, is the distinct lack of surprises. More so than the UK equivalent the Brits, the Grammys are a direct reflection of what’s happening on the charts, which may explain the lack of nominations so far for Lady Gaga’s Artpop. This phenomenon is shown most clearly in the record of the year category, which mirrors the recent female dominance of the Billboard top five with nominations – alongside Smith – for Iggy and Charli’s Fancy (No 1 for seven weeks), Sia’s Chandelier, Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off (No 1 for three weeks), and Meghan Trainor’s novelty ode to the larger bottom, All About That Bass (No 1 for eight weeks).

Best New Artist Grammys 2018
Best New Artist Grammys 2018:
Ella Henderson
Sam Hunt
Nick Jonas
Rae Sremmurd
Charlie XCX
Winner: Ella Henderson.
Henderson is the favorite right now; she's a soulful, X-Factor–bred British woman, and "Ghost" seems like it will be a hit. Charli is a nominee this year for "Fancy," but, as with Ed Sheeran, the Grammys love to nominate someone for Best New Artist a year after they should. Nick Jonas fills the "How the heck are they new?" spot, and Hunt is the requisite country artist. In all likelihood, we're missing this year's Lorde — a youngster who comes out of nowhere with a dark horse Song of Summer contender — but until that person makes themselves known, we're giving their slot to Rae Sremmurd, who have an approximately 0.00001 percent chance of actually being nominated in real life.

Song of the Year Grammys 2018
Song of the Year Grammys 2018:
Adele, "Single TBA"
Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, "Uptown Funk"
Taylor Swift, "Blank Space"
Meghan Trainor, "Lips Are Movin'"
Rihanna, Kanye West, and Paul McCartney, "FourFiveSeconds"
Winner: Adele.
As anyone who's watched their musical numbers knows, the Grammys love unexpected pairings, and the songwriting partnership of Paul McCartney and Kanye West is the most beautifully unorthodox pairing of stars we've seen in a while; whichever of their songs charts highest will get a nomination. "Uptown Funk" looks like it's on the way to being one of the year's biggest hits, so it scores a courtesy nom here. Trainor is a success story for songwriters everywhere, and "Lips Are Movin'" is a better song than "All About That Bass," which is nominated this year. The eventual Song of Summer will likely earn a nod here; appropriately, we're filling that blank space with Starbucks lovers. And absolutely none of this will matter if Adele drops a single before September 30.

Adele, "Single TBA"
Bruno Mars, "Single TBA"
Rihanna, "Single TBA"
Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, "Uptown Funk"
Taylor Swift, "Blank Space"
Winner: Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars.
Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson can probably start writing their acceptance speeches for this one right now — it's unlikely anything else this year could press Grammy voters' buttons as precisely as "Uptown Funk" does. Ironically, the only thing that could maybe dethrone it would be a solo single from Mars himself, who is expected to release his third album some time this year. Elsewhere, the airiness of "Blank Space" gives it a slightly better chance here than in Song of the Year, and while "FourFiveSeconds" is probably too raw to get a nomination, we assume one of Rihanna's later singles will be more polished. And the last spot goes to Adele by default.

Album of the Year Grammys 2018
Album of the Year Grammys 2018:
D'Angelo, Black Messiah
Bob Dylan, Shadows in the Night
Mark Ronson, Uptown Special
Taylor Swift, 1989
Kanye West, TBA
Winner: Taylor Swift.
Just to keep things interesting, let's stick with the assumption that Adele's album doesn't come out before the September 30 deadline. Who gets this Grammy instead? Of the music that's already out, 1989 is the easiest to pencil in, and Uptown Special's throwback appeal should be enough to earn it a nod. Black Messiah and Shadows in the Night might be unconventional choices, but each has a narrative — D'Angelo is back! Dylan covers Sinatra! — that could prove irresistible to voters. For the albums that haven't come out yet, we're going with Kanye West, whose 2016 output has been as warm and accessible as Yeezus wasn't. Of the five, we're betting on 1989, a win that would make up for the quasi-snub of Red and be fitting recognition for one of the music industry's few remaining blockbusters.

Grammys Red Carpet
Grammys Red Carpet. The world's biggest musicians (and then some) came to play on the Grammys 2018 red carpet wearing their hottest looks of the year.
Stars such as Katy Perry, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Beyonce and Ariana Grande turned heads in provocative looks that will keep us talking for years to come. (And if you need more proof that the most fun fashion is found at the Grammy Awards, then check out our list of the most memorable Grammy outfits of all time.). So, without further ado, we present to you our favourite looks at the 58th annual Grammys.
Before Madonna, Beyonce, Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney all perform at the 2018 Grammy Awards let's judge their red carpet style. Rihanna takes (and looks like) the cake in this Giambattista Valli creation/Mardi Gras float. Welcome to the Grammys everyone, your Queen has arrived. Beyonce's Proenza Schouler outfit, like her hair, is kind of limp this year. ane Fonda came as her favourite Bee Gee. Dating a Kennedy is doing funny things to Miley Cyrus' style (she's with Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger's son, Patrick). Wearing Alexandre Vauthier, she looks practically regal, in a Wallis Simpson kind of way.

Grammy Predictions 2018
Grammy Predictions 2018. The "General Field" are four awards which are not restricted by genre.
Other awards are given for performance and production in specific genres, as well as for other contributions such as artwork and video. Special awards are given for longer-lasting contributions to the music industry.
Because of the large number of award categories (78 in 2012, 81 in 2013 and 82 in 2014), and the desire to feature several performances by various artists, only the ones with the most popular interest - typically about 10 to 12, including the four General Field categories and one or two categories in the most popular music genres (i.e. pop, rock, country, rap) - are presented directly at the televised award ceremony. Other awards are presented in a pre-telecast ceremony earlier in the afternoon of the Grammy awards ceremony.
- Album of the Year is awarded to the performer and the production team of a full album.
- Record of the Year is awarded to the performer and the production team of a single song.
- Song of the Year is awarded to the writer(s)/composer(s) of a single song.
- Best New Artist is awarded to a promising breakthrough performer who releases, during the Eligibility Year, the first recording that establishes the public identity of that artist (which is not necessarily their first proper release).
Other awards are given for performance and production in specific genres, as well as for other contributions such as artwork and video. Special awards are given for longer-lasting contributions to the music industry.

2018 Grammy Nominees
the 2018 choices isn't as crazy as it sounds — we're already more than a third of the way through the 12-month eligibility period for next year's Grammys, and if the pattern of prior years continues, many of next year's eventual winners have already been released. Using our knowledge of what's out there right now and what's expected to come in the next seven months, let's try to forecast how the four major Grammys categories will shake out next year.
(There's one thing we have to get out of the way first, though: Adele. A lot of people are expecting her to release her third album this year; if she does, she's going to win all the Grammys. However, the most recent reports say the album's not coming out until the end of 2016. Let's assume those reports are true to open up some room for everyone else, but in the same spirit of fairness, we'll say that Adele releases her comeback single sometime this summer. Got all that? Here we go!).

What Time are the Grammys 2018?
What Time are the Grammys 2018? As an institution that celebrates artistic works of musicians, singers, songwriters, producers and technical specialists, we have come to expect that the Grammys upholds all of the values that reflect the very best in music that is born from our culture.
Unfortunately, the awards show has become a series of hypocrisies and contradictions, leaving me to question why any contemporary popular artist would even participate. While there is no doubt in my mind of the artistic talents of Steely Dan or Herbie Hancock, we must acknowledge the massive cultural impact of Eminem and Kanye West and how their music is shaping, influencing and defining the voice of a generation. It is this same cultural impact that acknowledged the commercial and critical success of Michael Jackson's Thriller in 1984.

Grammys 2018 Time
Grammys 2018 Time. This year’s Grammy Awards were all about the performances, of which there were many times more (23) than there were actual awards given out during the three-and-a-half hour show. It was also all about performers young and old attempting — sometimes successfully and sometimes not — to bridge the generational divide in music. And it was not, thankfully, all about that bass. That bass is finally over.
Sam Smith was the evening’s big winner, returning to the stage every hour, on the hour, to collect each of his four awards. Beck was the surprise of the night, winning not only Best Rock Album but also Album of the Year, for which he beat out Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith and Pharrell.
But the awards felt like an afterthought — punctuation marks between performances meant to chase higher ratings than the act of doling out golden gramophones is capable of generating. And those performances were a little heavy on the ballads and a little low on the showmanship, with the night saved from interminable boredom by a handful of worthy showstoppers.
