Grammy Predictions from Wall Of

Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group
With Vocal
Backstreet Boys: "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely"
Barenaked Ladies: "Pinch Me"
The Corrs: "Breathless"
'N Sync: "Bye, Bye, Bye"
Steely Dan: "Cousin Dupree"
Who Should Win: The Backstreet Boys. The Barenaked Ladies just aren't quite Grammy material yet; The Corrs are gorgeous but are they really the Best?; Steely Dan has the outsider's chance (though the thought of a song about lusting after one's own kin winning a Grammy is slightly disturbing); and the members of 'N Sync now have enough cash to buy themselves multiple Grammies. This year, the Backstreets took the high road in the boy-band wars, their harmonies are solid, and they're so gosh-darned earnest. Let's hear it for the Boys.
Who Will Win: The Backstreet Boys. If the category is taken literally, the five lads truly did turn in the best pop performance with the melodramatic "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely."
