Grammy Showdown: Best New Artist

Best New Artist

Nominees:
 
Justin Bieber









 












Drake






















Florence and the Machine





 









Mumford and Sons


















Esperanza Spalding

















Vegas Odds Favor:
Justin Bieber
, 1-to-2

 

Rolling Stone feels that Drake, Weezy's Canadian protégé, ruled radio with some of the catchiest, angsty-est hits of the year. 

Seriously, Vegas Beiber!. Granted he is a Youtube phenomenon, but an artist, I think not. This is a difficult one for me. I love both Florence and the Machine and Esperanza Spalding. Completely different sounds but both excellent artists. I would love to see a jazz/classical artist win artist of the year. Jazz musicians are so under appreciated.
