Why shouldn't Meghan get nominated for best international female? I wouldn't be surprised if she won and she deserves to win, she's had an incredible year worldwide, five top 15 hits in the USA and three top 3 singles in the UK. I would be baffled if she never got a nomination.


That's what I was saying, and what I meant by we have allowed ourselves to get to this point where she's got this nomination.

16 shocking snubs according to Digital Spy: http://www.digitalspy.com/music/feature/a7...his-years-show/

Maybe I'm biased here but I do agree Madonna should have been up for Best International Female. The majority of critics agree that her album is the best in a decade and her tour has also been highly praised which I think puts her in a better position than some others in that category. Carly Rae Jepsen too - again, her album has been praised to the highest high and she's proven herself capable of being so much more than a bubblegum pop one-hit-wonder; that's surely what the BRITs should be about: celebrating acts who manage to develop and grow.

Not so fussed on the snubs for Muse and Mumford & Sons - both acts have been nominated many a time before and it's fair to say their latest outputs don't quite compare to ones before. You could stick Disclosure in that group too.

I agree about both Liam. I think Madonna's album and tour sold enough to consider her a success. And she's as iconic as ever. She had more people talking about the Brits than ever last year. Carly Rae had probably the most critically acclaimed album of the last few years, too.

I find it amusing (in a good way, based on quality obviously) how global pop star Ellie Goulding was blocked from nomination from half-decade dead with no recent material Amy Winehouse.

The Brit nominations as ludicrous and irrelevant as ever. Fully understand, appreciate & support nominations not being based on sales/popularity but some of these are ridiculously obscure.


Why is obscurity not a reason to nominate someone?

Such a let-down that UK rap and grime has been ignored again, especially after the massive year of success we had!

Skepta or Stormzy could have nominated for Best Male, Know Me From or Queens Speech 4 nominated for Best Video and any one of Shutdown, Man Don't Care, Shut Up or Freak Of The Week nominated for Best Single. Kendrick Lamar got a nomination in the International category so why can't we recognise our own talent?

The list of nominations is, as ever, very beige and barely represents our musical culture right now.

Because Best Single & Best Video are based on highest sellers/videos, they're automatic nominations. tongue.gif

Shut Up or Freak Of The Week nominated for Worst Single

Well, that category doesn't exist, but those two horrors are definitely the two worst songs by British artists in 2015.

Stormzy has expressed his disappointment that grime hasn't been supported by the BRITs: http://www.digitalspy.com/music/brit-award...ng-grime-music/

I agree that it's been a good year for grime/hip-hop but it's hard when they only have one standout song per artist and the Best Single nominations are decided on sales. I'd say someone like Fetty Wap would be deserving of a Best International Male nomination though given the cross-over appeal of 'Trap Queen' and '679' and his features on other songs.

Calvin Harris is out of the running for Best British Video and therefore wins the prize for least amount of dedicated fans.

This. The grime market does make up a large proportion of popular music these days so its only fair that they represent this more in the nominations. Stormzy should have been up for Best British Male in my eyes (not biased). They should try and represent more genres than just commercial songs and songs everyone knows because they get hammered on Heart FM all day laugh.gif

Why are so many old performances included?

Disc 3 is the superior disc though.

1D for British Group, Best Video and why not British Single?


If the public voted for every award then they'd get Best British Female too.

Bjork getting a nom year after year when it is clear she isn't going to win is just pointless, why bother including her.
