Wish you could make some money on the results of the Grammys next month? You’re in luck.
Wish you could make enough money to buy the Grammys and destroy them right in front of Steven Tyler‘s weeping face? Well, that’ll be a little more difficult, but not impossible. Because this week we’re letting you bet on the results of the Grammys Best Song category. Yes, all the nominees are universally awful, but this is to make you rich, not to stop you going deaf, OK?
So here are the Grammys betting odds for Umbrella by Rihanna and Rehab by Amy Winehouse, with help from Paddy Power…
Umbrella – Rihanna: Rihanna is some sort of all-powerful meteorological demi-being, because whatever she sings comes true. When Rihanna released Shut Up And Drive we fell silent and went down the supermarket, and when she released Umbrella it rained non-stop for something like 15 years. Horribly ubiquitous and disgustingly catchy, we genuinely can’t see how Umbrella can’t win a Grammy – not least because Rihanna’s next single is called Everyone On The Grammy Panel Will Die Painful Gory Deaths Unless Umbrella Wins Best Song. But even if it doesn’t, let’s just be thankful that Britney Spears turned Umbrella down first, because now she doesn’t have to show up at the Grammys and, well, anything that reduces the chance of us catching a glimpse of her vagina is A-OK with us. Current Grammys betting odds – 7/2
Rehab – Amy Winehouse: Forget the quality of Rehab by Amy Winehouse – the real question is whether or not it’s ethical to give a prize to Amy Winehouse when she appears to continually be so close to death. Surely a Grammy would just reinforce the idea that Amy Winehouse performs better when she’s off her tits on hard drugs all the time, plus the accompanying sale boost she received would only help fund her addictions. Right? It’d be horribly irresponsible to even acknowledge Amy Winehouse’s talents as a singer when her personal life in in such a bad state. It might even kill her. But since one of the alternatives is to give the Best Song Grammy to the Plain White T’s, that’s a chance we’ll just have to take. Give her the award. We think they call it acceptable loss. Current Grammys betting odds – 2/1
Tomorrow – the Grammys betting odds for Carrie Underwood. But if that’s too long to wait – or you feel like making more money than you know what to do with – head right over to the Paddy Power Grammys betting odds page to see the latest, and best, betting odds.

I thought a Grammy went to the best song? You are telling me it goes to the most popular person? Is this a popularity contest?

It doesn’t really go to “best” anything. Have you seen the kind of songs and records that generally win?
