△【第51回グラミー賞・受賞結果（パート１）】
結果。
2008年度、第51回グラミー賞が2009年2月8日（日曜＝午後5時＝日本時間9日・月曜午前10時から）、ロスアンジェルスのステイプルズ・センターで行われた。主要４部門で、「レコード」と「アルバム」は、ロバート・プラント＆アリソン・クラウス（対抗予想）、「新人賞」は、アデル（本命予想）、「ソング」でコールドプレイ（対抗予想）になった。結局、ロバート・プラント＆アリソン・クラウス対コールドプレイの一騎打ちとなった形で、ロバートたちの2勝1敗。（ロバートたちは、「ソング」にはノミネートされていなかった） ロバートたちは5部門ノミネート全部での受賞となり、この夜最大の勝者となった。ロバートたちの受賞は、昨年のハービー・ハンコック的なある意味グラミーらしいということかもしれない。いずれにせよ、主要4部門はすべてイギリス関係（ロバート・プラントはイギリスだが、アリソンはアメリカ）というのも印象的だ。
ソウル・サーチャー的にライヴ・パフォーマンスで印象に残ったのはフォー・トップスのシーン。昨年リード・シンガー、リーヴァイ・スタッブスが亡くなり、オリジナル・メンバーはアブドゥール・デューク・ファキールだけになってしまった。そのアブドゥールを囲み、旧友のスモーキー・ロビンソン、そして、若手のニーヨ、ジェイミー・フォックスがその場のフォー・トップスを結成して、「リーチ・アウト・アイル・ビー・ゼア」、「スタンディング・イン・ザ・シャドーズ・オブ・モータウン」、「アイ・キャント・ヘルプ・マイセルフ」を披露した。ジェニファー・ハドソンもよかった。
今年はリル・ウェインがノミネート8部門中4部門、コールドプレイが7部門中3部門を受賞。
ソウル・サーチャーの予想は44部門中、本命で19、対抗で15、はずれが10。本命・対抗で7割7分3厘。昨年の8割7分にはおよばなかった。一応自分なりの合格ライン6割は超えているのでよしとしよう。Ｒ＆Ｂ、ラップ部門13部門予想は、本命で８、対抗で５とすべてきたので面目躍如か。（笑）

結果。
2008年度、第51回グラミー賞が2009年2月8日（日曜＝午後5時＝日本時間9日・月曜午前10時から）、ロスアンジェルスのステイプルズ・センターで行われた。主要４部門で、「レコード」と「アルバム」は、ロバート・プラント＆アリソン・クラウス（対抗予想）、「新人賞」は、アデル（本命予想）、「ソング」でコールドプレイ（対抗予想）になった。結局、ロバート・プラント＆アリソン・クラウス対コールドプレイの一騎打ちとなった形で、ロバートたちの2勝1敗。（ロバートたちは、「ソング」にはノミネートされていなかった） ロバートたちは5部門ノミネート全部での受賞となり、この夜最大の勝者となった。ロバートたちの受賞は、昨年のハービー・ハンコック的なある意味グラミーらしいということかもしれない。いずれにせよ、主要4部門はすべてイギリス関係（ロバート・プラントはイギリスだが、アリソンはアメリカ）というのも印象的だ。
ソウル・サーチャー的にライヴ・パフォーマンスで印象に残ったのはフォー・トップスのシーン。昨年リード・シンガー、リーヴァイ・スタッブスが亡くなり、オリジナル・メンバーはアブドゥール・デューク・ファキールだけになってしまった。そのアブドゥールを囲み、旧友のスモーキー・ロビンソン、そして、若手のニーヨ、ジェイミー・フォックスがその場のフォー・トップスを結成して、「リーチ・アウト・アイル・ビー・ゼア」、「スタンディング・イン・ザ・シャドーズ・オブ・モータウン」、「アイ・キャント・ヘルプ・マイセルフ」を披露した。ジェニファー・ハドソンもよかった。
今年はリル・ウェインがノミネート8部門中4部門、コールドプレイが7部門中3部門を受賞。
ソウル・サーチャーの予想は44部門中、本命で19、対抗で15、はずれが10。本命・対抗で7割7分3厘。昨年の8割7分にはおよばなかった。一応自分なりの合格ライン6割は超えているのでよしとしよう。Ｒ＆Ｂ、ラップ部門13部門予想は、本命で８、対抗で５とすべてきたので面目躍如か。（笑）
