In the end, I expect there to be a fair distribution of the awards, with no one artist running away with the bulk of the awards. I suspect Mariah Carey to win most of the R&B Vocal categories she was nominated in except for a few in which Gwen Stephani will receive the award. I expect both 50 cent and Kanye West to be disappointed, but they will not go home empty handed. I wonder if there will be strife if 50 cent and The Game win the “Best Rap Song” category. I hope they don’t bring their “beef” to the stage. I also hope that Kanye West does not try to take all of the credit if Common actually recives an award. I also secretly hope Missy Elliott goes home with some hardware, while the Black-Eyed Peas don’t... Hate it or love it, my predictions on top!
