GRAMMY PREDIX: Record of the Year, Adele's "Rolling in the Deep"

Record of The Year nominees:

Adele, “21”
Bon Iver, “Holocene”
Bruno Mars, “Grenade”
Mumford & Sons, “The Cave”
Katy Perry, “Firework”

WILL WIN: “Rolling in the Deep.” It's a break-up song that's both bluesy and triumphant, memorable and fresh even after the hundredth (thousandth?) time. It also serves well to capsulize the year in music, the event that people will remember when they think of 2011. "Firework" comes close to that definition too, but it has lyrical flaws that are hard to overcome.
