Will Win: "We Belong Together," Mariah Carey
Should Win: "Gold Digger," Kanye West

Pete Wentz: "I personally got down with Green Day a little more, but I think Mariah came up with a record that was awesome."

Ahmir Thompson: "It'd be interesting to see how the Gorillaz would go up and accept that award - they're not human. But it's going to go to Mariah."

Polly Anthony: "I'm going to be boring here -- Mariah. The girl is going to have the night of her life. She should get a lot of rest the few days before, because she isn't going to sleep much that night."

Will Win: "We Belong Together," Mariah Carey

Kanye West กับ  Ciara ให้ความเห็นกับงานนี้ไว้ด้วย ทุกคนพูดถึงมารยห์หมดเลย

Also, Kanye West and Ciara mention Mariah in their respective Grammy Preview Q&As with Rolling Stone.

Kanye: "Mariah is gonna be tough to beat this year. I think a lot of people are gonna get behind Mariah because of the comeback story. Not to discredit her at all, but I think I deserve it over her, because "Gold Digger" sounds like nothing you've heard before. "Diamonds [From Sierra Leone]" doesn't sound like something you've heard before. And I stand by that statement, and I'm gonna say that to the end. And statements like that could be the very reason why she possibly could win over me. The thing that we tried to do with this album -- we weren't trying to just make good records, we were really trying to push the envelope and change music.

Ciara: Q: Who, besides you, do you think deserves to win this year? A: "It will be big for Mariah this time around. She's such an amazing talent. It's great for her to be able to reinvent herself." Q: Who would you most like to perform with at the Grammys? A: Mariah and Missy. And I want to do something with U2. I met Bono, and he's such a cool guy.
