Pink Predicts Lady Gaga To Win Album Of The Year Grammy
Several artists gave their Grammy predictions to RollingStone.com, including Pink, ?uestlove of The Roots, Keri Hilson and Brian Aubert of Silversun Pickups. Asked about her Album of the Year selection, Pink responded:
I think I’d have to go with Lady Gaga because she really, really just took over this year. She was everywhere. She’s fearless when it comes to fashion and videos and I think a lot of other people play it really safe. I think she’s been a total breath of fresh air. I love her videos. In some ways I think she’s the most interesting without seeming to try to hard since Madonna. I think I’m able to like her because I don’t see any of myself in her. And for awhile, I think, after ‘Missundaztood’ came out, it was like, “Oh, everybody wants to be a rock star now.” But with her, I don’t know, I think she’s marching to the beat of her own drum. And I really, really like that.
