The nominations for the 2017 ARIA Awards have been out for a few weeks, and since I took a stab at guessing some of the winners of the GRAMMY Awards next year, I figured I'd do the same here, since I actually know the nominees
Here's just some of the categories.
2017 ARIA Award Nominees
Apple Music Album Of The Year
AB Original - Reclaim Australia
Amy Shark - Night Thinker
Gang Of Youths - Go Farther In Darkness
Illy - Two Degrees
Paul Kelly - Life Is Fine
As much as I want Amy Shark to take this out (she's more my style), I think Paul Kelly may win it, as he was iconic in the 90's and has a good comeback album.
Apple Music Song Of The Year
Amy Shark - Adore
Bliss N Eso feat. Gavin James - Moments
Dean Lewis - Waves
Guy Sebastian - Set In Stone
Illy feat. Anne-Marie - Catch 22
I like 4 of the 5 of these, so I don't really mind who wins! "Adore" seemed to be huge on radio though, in my opinion.
Best Country Album
Kasey Chambers - Dragonfly
Lee Kernaghan - The 25th Anniversary Album
O'Shea - 61-615
Shane Nicholson - Love And Blood
The McClymonts - Endless
Ooooo this is a tough choice! It's wife and husband up against each other between Kasey and Shane. I think Lee has a boring album title And I love The McClymonts. I'm gonna take a guess that Shane will win this.
Best Dance Release
Dom Dolla & Torren Foot - Be Randy
Jagwar Ma - Every Now & Then
Peking Duck feat. Elliphant - Stranger
Pnau - Chameleon
The Kite String Tangle - The Kite String Tangle
For me, Peking Duck and Pnau were really fighting it out this year on the dance charts, and my personal fav was "Chameleon."
Best Independent Release
AB Original - Reclaim Australia
Dan Sultan - Killer
Sia - The Greatest
Tash Sultana - Notion
Vance Joy - Lay It On Me
I'll predict Dan to win this one.
Best Female Artist
Amy Shark - Night Thinker
Jessica Mauboy - The Secret Daughter (Songs From The Original TV Series)
Julia Jacklin - Don't Let The Kids Win
Meg Mac - Low Blows
Sia - The Greatest
Sia doesn't even turn up to the ARIA's (she's too good for them, it seems), so I really hope this goes to Jess Mauboy. She's amazing in the series and the songs from it are so, so good.
Best Male Artist
D.D. Dumbo - Utopia Defeated
Dan Sultan - Killer
Illy - Two Degrees
Paul Kelly - Life Is Fine
Vance Joy - Lay It On Me
Some good nominees here this year, so I think it'll be close. I feel like Paul Kelly might win this also.
Best Group
AB Original - Reclaim Australia
Gang Of Youths - Go Farther In Darkness
King Glizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Flying Microtonal Banana
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Skeleton Tree
Peking Duck feat. Elliphant - Stranger
Even though King Glizzard has the best band-name I'll predict AB Original with Nick Cave a close second.
Breakthrough Artist
AB Original - Reclaim Australia
Amy Shark - Night Thinker
Dean Lewis - Waves
Tash Sultana - Notion
Tkay Maidza - Tkay
Man, I can't choose here. Amy Shark seems like she'd take it out, but Tash Sultana is huge on the live scene. And Tkay is just divine. I'm going to say Amy will win it, but I want Tash to win it.
Best International Artist
Adele - 25
Bruno Mars - 24K Magic
Ed Sheeran - Divide & Loose Change
Harry Styles - Harry Styles
Kendrick Lamar - Damn & Untitled Remastered
I get this one wrong every single year. Noooo idea. Adele toured and Ed's here all the time, so either one of those two. I'll predict Ed.
Now to tune in next month and see how wrong I was
