"Foo Fighters singer Dave Grohl has said that he is honored to be competing against Adele at this weekend&amp;#039;s Grammy Awards. Adele and Foo Fighters head this year&amp;#039;s group of nominees with nods in six categories, including being pitted against each other in the coveted &amp;#039;Album of the Year&amp;#039; category.   In an interview with The AP, Grohl praised Adele&amp;#039;s album 21 as one of his personal favorites. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m glad that we&amp;#039;re with Adele in the same category. It means we&amp;#039;ve done something right. I think she gives us all hope,&amp;quot; Grohl said. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s made an incredible record, and she&amp;#039;s an incredibly talented artist, so maybe it is true that the cream actually rises to the top.&amp;quot;  The rocker continued: &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s a reason why that record is so [expletive] huge. It&amp;#039;s good. It&amp;#039;s inspiring when something legitimate gets recognized for what it is. It&amp;#039;s such a cliche, but it&amp;#039;s a huge achievement to be nominated.&amp;quot; Grohl also admitted that he will not prepare for a possible Grammy win on Sunday by writing an acceptance speech ahead of time. &amp;quot;I never plan what I&amp;#039;m going to say when I get up on stage. My father was a speechwriter, and my mother was a public speaking teacher, and one thing that I&amp;#039;ve learned in life is that you never want to read a speech,&amp;quot; he joked.  &amp;quot;You just want to go up and give it. That always jinxes it, anyway. The last thing you want to do is walk out of there with a speech in your pocket that you didn&amp;#039;t get to read.&amp;quot; Both Adele and Foo Fighters will also perform at the Grammy Awards alongside Katy Perry, Bruce Springsteen, Chris Brown and Taylor Swift. LL Cool J hosts the 54th Annual Grammy Awards, airing live on February 12 from 8pm (ET/PT) on CBS. &amp;gt; Grammy Awards 2012: Major nominees Watch Foo Fighters perform &amp;#039;White Limo&amp;#039; below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
