Grammy Predix: Record of the Year

The Contenders:

• "Irreplaceable," Beyoncé
• "The Pretender," Foo Fighters
• "Umbrella," Rihanna featuring Jay-Z
• "What Goes Around...Comes Around," Justin Timberlake
• "Rehab," Amy Winehouse

Our Prediction:  Justin Timberlake

The Academy loves J.T., and we do, too. Especially on this song, which has the funky beats, sexy swagger and croony goodness of prime Michael Jackson without the crotch grabs and surgical masks. Despite the tough competition—pretty much anything here is worthy—this is the place to reward J.T. for doing that lame American Idol-ripoff My Grammy Moment last year. And they should consider throwing in a Spoken Word or Best Liner Notes trophy or something, too.

Your Prediction:  What do you think? Is J.T. irreplaceable or a pretender? Sound off in Comments.
