Posted December 10, 201014 yr Take That and Plan B announced for Brit Awards Source: MW 13:43 | Friday December 10, 2010 Take That and Plan B have been announced as the first acts to perform at next year's Brit awards. The overhauled ceremony will take place at its new home, the O2, for the first time. The announcement caps a hugely successful few months for Take That, who recently welcomed Robbie Williams back into the band and broke records for ticket sales for their British tour. The shortlist for the critics' choice award was also unveiled today. Made up entirely of London acts the three nominees are former Goldsmiths music student and electronic composer James Blake, Essex singer-songwriter Jessie J and indie band The Vaccines. The result will be announced on December 15. Changes to this year's ceremony include the move from Earls Court and new statuettes. They will now have a different design every year, with Vivienne Westwood creating the first batch for the February 15 show.
December 10, 201014 yr Interesting line-up for the Critics' Choice. Don't think Jessie J has a chance against the other two though...I think The Vaccines will get it.
December 10, 201014 yr I'd absolutely love it if Jessie J got it :wub: Would be nice to see them break away from the norm for the award for once as well.
December 10, 201014 yr I'm obviously hoping for James Blake to get the Critics' Choice award but I agree it will probably be The Vaccines. I think it's quite open this year though to be honest.
December 10, 201014 yr hopefully if the vaccines win it it will signal a move towards rock music in the charts again, ive had enough of the electronic rnb !!
December 10, 201014 yr I really hope Tinnie Tempah or Tinchy and Alexandra Burke get to perform this year, they have had stacks of hits.The BRITS need to start being more inclusive to all UK talent.
December 11, 201014 yr Plan B will inevitably win at least one, if i was to guess, it'd be for the album most likely.
December 11, 201014 yr Author The Outstanding Contribution Award has been scrapped, damn Depeche Mode will never get an award now. I actually feel this award should have been included as it recognises acts that have been in the music industry for a very long time.

I actually feel this award should have been included as it recognises acts that have been in the music industry for a very long time. Thats a shame - any reason why it has been scrapped?! I've always enjoyed seeing the winners.
December 12, 201014 yr Thats a shame - any reason why it has been scrapped?! I've always enjoyed seeing the winners. It became a bit worthless eventually. No disrespect but giving Spice Girls (whom I actually liked in 1996 :ph34r: ) the award after four years surely suggested that the Brits panel were a bit clueless. So many other artists who have had a successful career with longevity (like Depeche Mode) snubbed in favour of "high profile" acts who didn't really deserve the award after just a few years. I remember some people being baffled when Duran Duran won the Outstanding Contribution Award but at least they were very popular/successful over a long period of time.
December 12, 201014 yr What a surprise! It wouldn't be The Brits without a performance from Robbie or Take That.
December 12, 201014 yr I like some of Plan B songs, but performance wise I can't see it being really interesting at the Brits :(
December 13, 201014 yr I like some of Plan B songs, but performance wise I can't see it being really interesting at the Brits :( i agree, Plan B has a killer album but i dunoooo he isnt that great live either...... apparently Take That are singing The Flood and Kidz
December 15, 201014 yr WOO so happy for her!! :wub: Really hope she gets all the success she rightly deserves next year.
