BEST POP VOCAL ALBUM
1994 - Bonnie Raitt - "Longing In Their Hearts"
1995 - Joni Mitchell - "Turbulent Indigo"
1996 - Celine Dion - "Falling Into You"
1997 - James Taylor - "Hourglass"
1998 - Madonna - "Ray Of Light"
1999 - Sting - "Brand New Day"
2000 - Steely Dan - "Two Against Nature"
2001 - Sade - "Lover's Rock"
2002 - Norah Jones - "Come Away With Me"
2003 - Justin Timberlake - "Justified"
2004 - Ray Charles -"Genius Loves Company
2005 - Kelly Clarkson - "Breakaway"
2006 - John Mayer - "Continuum"
2007 - Amy Winehouse - "Back To Black"

2008 -
Sheryl Crow - "Detours"
Duffy - "Rockferry"
The Eagles - "Long Road Out Of Eden"
Leona Lewis - "Spirit"
James Taylor - "Covers"

This is definitely a hard category to predict.

If we're talking about actual vocals, then Leona but since that's not the case The Eagles will take it since they're favorites.

WILL WIN: The Eagles
SPOILER: Duffy or Leona

Detours is a great album and it would deserve to win. I hope Sheryl wins, though I wouldn't mind if Duffy won -- I thought Rockferry was pretty good. The Eagles probably got this.

Leona's album kinda sucked. The nomination is her reward here.

I don't even know what to say about that James Taylor album. Didn't hear it, don't want to hear it, don't plan on hearing it.

I don't like The Eagles music. Hopefully they don't win. Not my taste at all.

I wouldn't mind a win by any of these 3 nominees.
Sheryl Crow - "Detours"
Duffy - "Rockferry"
Leona Lewis - "Spirit"

The Eagles are going to take this. It would be even better, though if "Rockferry" won.

Eagles. Unless James Taylor takes it.

The only album I've heard here is Duffy's. And I don't really enjoy it. I have no opinion.

Adele's 19 would have been a fine winner, tho.

Leona, Duffy or the Eagles will win.

I just don't know who yet.

Yeah, this is a very hard category to predict. The only one I can safely say that Leona Lewis won't win. Her album is the reason she's not in Best New Artist.

I haven't heard James Taylor's album, but this is the Grammys and it's James Taylor so he could easily pull off a win.

Duffy is a contender, but I just don't think her album has the buzz to win here.

The Eagles vs. Sheryl Crow...both were ignored in Album Of The Year...it's a tough call. I'd love to see "Detours" win. It's the Best Album of the Year...and I thought "Long Road Out Of Eden" was VERY weak.

So I'll say Sheryl Crow.

GH, I don't think the Best New Artist snub for Leona was because of her album but mainly for the fact that she won a British Reality Singing competition. If she had won American Idol and experienced all this success she would probably have landed that BNA nomination most likely. She's from a foreign land and guess they think she may be a tad bit fabricated through reality singing television shows. She's not as big in the USA compared to the UK. Things would be much different had she been American.

Has Sheryl Crow really never won this category? I never would have guessed that.

Expect that the change this year. Detours will win.

She won in Best Rock Album twice. She did not used to be submitted in this category.

That makes sense. I was just surprised to see that.

Eagles vs. Crow.

Duffy has no chance, nobody knows about that James Taylor album, the people who do don't support the nomination either (or so I've read) and Leona...well she never should've come close to this nomination.

Eagles vs. Crow....The Eagles win.

Will win: The Eagles - "Long Road Out Of Eden"
Should win: The Eagles, Duffy - "Rockferry",
Sheryl Crow - "Detours", or Leona Lewis - "Spirit"
Spoiler: Sheryl Crow - "Detours"

What a weak category this year. Not one single album made AOTY, it speaks volumes. Oh well. I don't mind if any of them win, though I think Taylor would be the least deserving.

Either Sheryl Crow, Duffy or the Eagles. Anything can happen in this category, so I'm not counting out Leona Lewis or James Taylor, either.

Will Win: The Eagles - "Long Road Out Of Eden"
Spoiler: "Rockferry", Duffy

Should win: Rockferry
Will Win: Long Road Out Of Eden... (Specially 'cause they're not taking Pop Group)
Spoiler: Detours
Where the heck is: Two Men With the Blues (Nelson & Marsalis)
I'd kill myself: Spirit

The Eagles will win this.
