January 24, 201015 yr ps: bleeding love was up in 2008 but lost out to a few votes against take thats shine :S. i can see why people would claim brits is racist, it has a sense of snobbery and has its favourites which it will back, making it not very unpredictable. It very normal. I love watching though and glad leona is nominated every year since she won. i havent decided who to vote british single, cheryl or jls will win but its such a bad list this year.

January 24, 201015 yr ps: bleeding love was up in 2008 but lost out to a few votes against take thats shine :S. I'm pretty sure that Leona has been seen to be 'time served' and should this year get something. I hope she does. Norma
January 24, 201015 yr ps: bleeding love was up in 2008 but lost out to a few votes against take thats shine :S. So she's been nominated every year from 2007-2010, but not won anything yet! :o 2007 Best British Single - 'A Moment Like This' 2008 Best British Female Best British Breakthrough Best British Album - 'Spirit' Best British Single - 'Bleeding Love' 2009 Best British Single - 'Better In Time' 2010 Best British Female 7! :o More than Girls Aloud, and she's been around 4 years less than them! I hope she gets it this year, as she deserves it, but seeing as she couldn't get anything from the 'Spirit' era, I doubt it. :(
January 24, 201015 yr Where is all this Leona support coming from? It would be a joke if she won best female - it would be like saying "Here's Leona, she's the best female artist in the country" And how untrue would that be? Alot. ps - I had such a laugh when Spirit was nominated for best album. What sort of morons are on the panel? Edited January 24, 201015 yr by tonyttt31

January 24, 201015 yr Tony who would you say should win best female then :S Leona completely fits that title, she represents us worldwide, has been around for 3-4 years selling millions here and worldwide, has had 6 consecutive top 5 hits, has a incredible voice, down to earth, list goes on and on. In her category she IS the best female and definitely one of the best this country has ever produced. She'll be around for years to come..the others on the other hand, possibly 2 years.

Lyrically her material is devoid of any sort of poetic imagery, social commentary or insight. She hasn't involved any non-mainstream elements to her music, no interesting instruments. The only one of your list that actually applies is that she has an incredible voice. Selling millions in the UK and worldwide? Being down to earth? Are the barometers that one should use to determine the Best Female? I dont. Maybe you do.
January 26, 201015 yr Was just watching Live from Studio 5.. saying how Cheryl seemed desperate in her blog to get votes at the Brits.. and people were being interviewed also saying the same Her fans may feel the need to vote more now ? I think she will probably win Best Song
January 26, 201015 yr Was just watching Live from Studio 5.. saying how Cheryl seemed desperate in her blog to get votes at the Brits.. and people were being interviewed also saying the same Her fans may feel the need to vote more now ? I think she will probably win Best Song Yesterday they all said she had had lip surgery based on a single picture! Besides, how does she seem desperate? All she says is "I know I can count on you to get me through to the next round", she doesn't even ask for votes
January 26, 201015 yr Tbh leona should win best female, but if she doesnt maybe..lily allen. But come for me leona is the stand out in that category. Vocals, sales, personality, live performances are all factors which i believe contribute to winning 'best female' and leona ticks all the boxes. (she also plays piano & guitar and has co-written majority of the album. Florence AND the machine isnt classified as a female, if she wanted to be in this category why add the machine bit just to be 'different' and get attention. I like her dont get me wrong, but shouldnt be classified as a solo female. Edited January 26, 201015 yr by LL1
January 26, 201015 yr Author JLS actually nominated for worst band at the NMEs :lol: Leona is very good and should have won at least one in 2008, but this year shes not been great- her song only reached number 2, and her album nowhere near as much as expected- I cant see her winning it
January 26, 201015 yr Leona is no more solo than Florence. Yes she is, what on earth could have possessed you to think that? Leona Lewis is a solo artist. Florence + The Machine are a band.
January 26, 201015 yr Thank you brayfish, pure and simple, for people who obviously need it being explained to.
January 26, 201015 yr Florence or Lily should win best female tbh :) Lily Allen gets my vote. Can't see Leona getting it. Having done no touring & with her album being released so late in 2009.
January 27, 201015 yr Yes she is, what on earth could have possessed you to think that? Leona Lewis is a solo artist. Florence + The Machine are a band. those are just names. In practical terms of creating and performing music Leona is no more self reliant than Florence. There are very few true solo artists that completely perform and produce all their own music. So to separate those two on the basis that they have different sorts of official name would be the only grounds to do so. Edited January 27, 201015 yr by tonyttt31
January 27, 201015 yr Can't see Leona getting it. Having done no touring & with her album being released so late in 2009. how does either of those effect the result? Surely it has everything to do with musical output.
