One of music’s all-time greats, Toni Braxton, stopped by the 92.3 NOW studios to give her respected opinion on who will win this Sunday at the GRAMMYs.
DJ Toro asked her for four predictions: Best Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best New Artist and Best R&B Song. Here’s what she had to say!

Record of the Year Nominees: Daft Punk‘s ” Get Lucky,” Imagine Dragons‘ “Radioactive,” Lorde‘s “Royals,” Bruno Mars‘ “Locked Out Of Heaven” and Robin Thicke‘s “Blurred Lines”.
“I would like to say Blurred Lines,” said Braxton. “He got jipped last year,” agreed Toro, “Yes, that’s why I think he should get it this year,” said Braxton.
Song of the Year Nominees: Bruno Mars’ “Locked Out Of Heaven,” P!nk‘s “Just Give Me a Reason,” Katy Perry‘s “Roar,” Lorde’s “Royals” and Macklemore‘s “Same Love.”
Toni was quick to jump on this one. Without giving it much thought at all she blurted out her answer.
“Locked Out of Heaven, which one you think,” said Toni. Toro disagreed when he predicted Macklemore’s “Same Love.”
For Best New Artist, Braxton had a more difficult time choosing. Well, the answer didn’t come out right away but she seemed pretty biased once she did choose.
“I would like for Kendrick Lamar to win but I don’t think they’ve ever let a rapper win that category before. He’s one of my favorites. ‘OK I am your conscious right now…,’” Braxton said in imitation.
Other nominees for Best New Artist include James Blake, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Kacey Musgraves & Ed Sheeran.
For the final prediction, Best R&B Song, Braxton couldn’t even let Toro finish before the answer rolled off her tongue.
“Stop there… Tamar Braxton, she got it there! We gonna celebrate,” said Braxton.
Tamar is Toni’s sister who is following in her footsteps with what seems to be a promising singing career and is nominated for her song “Love and War.”
Other nominees for Best R&B Song include “Best Of Me”by Anthony Hamilton, “Only One” by PJ Morton, “Pusher Love Girl” by Justin Timberlake & “Without Me” by Fantasia.
