If left to U.S. youth, the race for the 49th Annual Grammy Awards would result in a big night for Carrie Underwood, Mary J. Blige and Justin Timberlake, according to a new Harris Interactive survey of those ages 8 through 18.

• Survey: Your Favorite?

Young people believe that country music star and former American Idol Carrie Underwood deserves top honors as Best New Artist (41 percent) and endorse her song "Jesus, Take the Wheel" as Song of the Year (37 percent). "Be Without You" by Mary J. Blige is their pick for Record of the Year, while Justin Timberlake’s "FutureSex/LoveSounds" is favored for Album of the Year, according to a Harris Interactive press release.

This is the seventh year the youth Grammy poll was conducted. The poll included the four most popular Grammy categories and gave young people the chance to pick their favorites.

Results include:

Record of the Year: "Be Without You" by Mary J. Blige (33 percent); "You’re Beautiful" by James Blunt (29 percent); "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley (23 percent); "Not Ready To Make Nice" by The Dixie Chicks (11 percent); "Put Your Records On" by Corinne Bailey Rea (5 percent);

Album of the Year: "Future Sex/Love Sounds" by Justin Timberlake (39 percent); "Stadium Arcadium" by The Red Hot Chili Peppers (30 percent); "Continuum" by John Mayer (12 percent); "Taking The Long Way" by The Dixie Chicks (11 percent); "St. Elsewhere" by Gnarles Barkley (7 percent);

Song of the Year: "Jesus, Take The Wheel" by Carrie Underwood (37 percent); "Be Without You" by Mary J. Blige (28 percent);"You’re Beautiful" by James Blunt (25 percent); "Not Ready To Make Nice" by The Dixie Chicks (6 percent); "Put Your Records On" by Corinne Bailey Rea (5 percent);

Best New Artist: Carrie Underwood (41 percent); Chris Brown (33 percent); James Blunt (16 percent); Corinne Bailey Rea (6 percent); Imogen Heap (4 percent).

"This year's results reveal that tweens and teens appreciate a wide range of musical styles, from R&B to Country," Dana Markow, Vice President of Youth & Education Research for Harris Interactive, said.

The 49th Annual Grammy Awards will air Feb. 11, 2007.

Harris Interactive surveyed 1,726 U.S. youth ages 8 through 18 online from Dec. 14 to Dec. 22. The participants were among a nationwide cross section of 1,726 youth ages 8-18 (703 tweens, ages 8-12; 1,023 teens, ages 13 to 18).

In theory, with a probability sample of this size, one can say with 95 percent certainty that the results would have a sampling error of +/- 3 percentage points of what they would be if the entire U.S. teen population had been polled with complete accuracy.
