- I go for Adele, I like her voice since I first listened to Someone like you. So Rolling in the Deep is a winner I think,
Bruno Mars Grenade is a good option too :)

- I've actually heard of them all this year! :D (well, apart from Kid Cudi!) A better selection of songs this year I think, for my tastes, than previous years, as I would listen to everything except Kanye West. Adele is definitely the best by far though.

- Er... I know none of these singers and songs apart from Adele (not really aware of her work but I heard her once or twice)... so I discovered those Grammy Award nominees. I'll come back for the results :D
