2010 Album of the Year Contenders

We outline 11 artists who may be up for the Grammy when nominees are announced in December

Whitney Houston, “I Look to You” (Arista)

If there’s anyone who wants a Grammy nod more than Houston, it’s Sony chief creative officer Clive Davis, who has mentored Houston since signing her in the ‘80s. The label even moved up the album’s release by a day in order to meet the eligibility cut off of Aug. 31. Here’s the problem: This has Grammy written all over it. The problem is that after the initial excitement, “I Look to You” has failed to generate sustained heat. May squeak by with a nod, but won’t win.
