Final Grammys predictions: Who will win tonight?
Beginning with Bobbie Gentry in 1968, the Recording Academy has had a long tradition of honoring rising ingenues in this category, and 18-year-old Eilish seems destined to be the next beneficiary of the sort-of trend. In 2008, Grammy voters passed over another teen ingenue, Taylor Swift, in favor of the older, more seasoned Amy Winehouse for best new artist. Music’s biggest under-20 newcomer since Swift won’t meet the same fate.
Eilish will triumph for making mainstream pop sound edgier and more exciting than it has in years via “Bad Guy,” a song whose musical hook probably will be popping up as incidental music on TV and in movie trailers for years to come. The song that fueled Tanya Tucker’s Grammy comeback is not just confirmation of the singer’s enduring talent but a haunting meta reminder to appreciate our legends while they’re still around to enjoy the accolades and applause.
