Grammy Predictions from Wall of Sound

Back - Index - Submissions - - What is RSS? Date: Feb 03, 2001 Source: Wall Of Sound Submitted By: Katie Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocal Backstreet Boys: "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely" Barenaked Ladies: "Pinch Me" The Corrs: "Breathless" 'N Sync: "Bye, Bye, Bye" Steely Dan: "Cousin Dupree" Who Should Win: The Backstreet Boys. The Barenaked Ladies just aren't quite Grammy material yet; The Corrs are gorgeous but are they really the Best?; Steely Dan has the outsider's chance (though the thought of a song about lusting after one's own kin winning a Grammy is slightly disturbing); and the members of 'N Sync now have enough cash to buy themselves multiple Grammies. This year, the Backstreets took the high road in the boy-band wars, their harmonies are solid, and they're so gosh-darned earnest. Let's hear it for the Boys. Who Will Win: The Backstreet Boys. If the category is taken literally, the five lads truly did turn in the best pop performance with the melodramatic "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely." Comment on this item.
