Frank Richter:
What Grammy moment do you particularly remember?
Last year, BTS gave an incredible performance of their song "Butter". It's actually a completely mediocre pop song, but what all these K-pop groups are really good at is delivering great performances. "Butter" was perfect entertainment boiled down to three minutes.

How are you preparing for your moderation this year?
I got all my old Bravo hits CDs out of the cellar and used a highlighter pen to mark which songs have already won a Grammy. Then I actually wanted to listen to them, but realized that I no longer have a CD player ... No, I'm going to read in, read in and read in.
What are you particularly looking forward to at this year's ceremony?
I'm a big fan of Trevor Noah, who is hosting again this year. He brings the necessary comedy to the music world and I'm looking forward to seeing how he delivers this year. I'm also looking forward to the performance by Kim Petras from Cologne. I find it fascinating how she went to Los Angeles without a record deal and climbed the pop Olympus there.
Which song deserves the Grammy every year?
Without a doubt: Scooter! They've been at the cutting edge of bad music for years. That has to be rewarded for once. Anyone who writes lines like "Respect to the Man in the Ice Cream Van" deserves a Grammy a thousand times over.
Manuel Kellerhals
Which Grammy moment do you particularly remember?
The White Stripes' performance in 2004 looks like it was recorded with a potato on YouTube. Nevertheless, I've probably watched it around 50 times. The transition between "Seven Nation Army" and "Death Letter" is just too good.
How are you preparing for your moderation this year?
Anyone who knows me knows that Bad Bunny is not normally on my Spotify playlist. But I've prepared myself with a big list of the most important nominees - and I'm slowly becoming a bit of a reggaeton fan. But only very, very slowly.
What are you particularly looking forward to at this year's ceremony?
The song "Bad Habit" by Steve Lacy, which is nominated for "Record of the Year" among other things, caught my ear during my preparations. Lacy will also be performing at the Grammys, so I'm very excited about that.
Which song deserves a Grammy every year?
My favorite band in the world is probably the metal giants Slayer. They have won two Grammys, but never for the song "Disciple". The Recording Academy should still be ashamed of that today.
