poll Song and Record of the Year: 2000

[Achilles.]

In the 1999 poll, Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” retained its Song of the Year win in a landslide victory with 63% of the vote, and also managed to edge out Madonna’s “Ray of Light” to hold onto its Record of the Year trophy. 
 

The following year, Carlos Santana swept the big three Grammy categories, taking home Record and Song for “Smooth.” Will Santana follow in Dion’s footsteps and keep both of those wins, or will ATRL crown a new Song and/or Record of the Year for 2000?

ROTY: Smooth 100%
SOTY: Smooth as well

 

Correct picks!

[tost1]

TLC for both

[Mezik]

Cher - RoTY, TLC - SoTY.

[Katamari]

The amount classics

 

Smooth deserved both but I would give it to unpretty for soty for its message 

[MALAMENTE]

Believe for ROTY and Smooth for SOTY 

[Achilles.]

It’s Cher and Shania for me. 

[Just a Gay on ATRL]

Record should've been Believe.

Song should've been I Want It That Way.

[I54X]

smooth deserves all the awards that existed at the time and the ones in the future, there's no better song. 

[dabunique]

Smooth deserved ROTY with Believe a close second

 

Unpretty is SOTY 

[unclefloprry]

BSB for both 

[LVP]

 

[jdanton2]

Record No Srubs

Song “Livin La Vida Loca

[GreatestLoveofAll]

Oh Cher clears for ROTY. the fact that the sole grammy she has is for believe and it wasnt this category is disgusting when it was the most innovative and popular song that year too.

 

SOTY was tricky. Unpretty is my fave here but it feels too "find your inner strength" for me to give it over several other better songs even though its a gorgeous song. it was between ricky and santana for me and i went with the later ultimately. 

[Alldeezy]

SOTY: smooth 

AOTY: TLC

[Mr. Duff]

I Want It That Way >>>>>

[McNulty]

ROTY: Smooth

 

SOTY: Unpretty

[Year of Shadow]

Backstreet Boys 

[Tylerbv]

Believe

Smooth

 

I can’t believe You’ve Got a Way was nominated  banger but I thought it made no noise.

It was featured in Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant’s smash romcom Notting Hill, which probably helped boost its profile. It might just have been a namecheck, too. The Come On Over era was still smashing at that point. Kinda random that she chose to submit that instead of “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!,” which won Female Country Performance that same year.

I’m Canadian so all her stuff got the same airplay during that era and i NEVER heard YGAW. I’m happy it found some success, but I would’ve assumed she would have submitted the inferior Man!

ROTY: Believe

SOTY: You've Got a Way

Maybe they submitted it since YGAW was more lyrical and has more of a serious tone for song of the year which is supposed to be more about the lyrics. MIFLAW should have definitely been submitted to Record of the Year if it wasn’t

I'm giving Record to Believe because the auto-tune was revolutionary

 

And Song to I Want It That Way because it's so melodically perfect

 

No shade but lol at that random Shania song being in SOTY over Baby One More Time

TLC for both,but again it made total sense for Santana to sweep
