January 11, 201213 yr Twitter From the actor (bedlam) No Will Young today... but Stacey from Eastenders was there #random
January 11, 201213 yr I feel very hypocritical about the Brits. In truth, I couldn't give a monkey's toss about the whole fiasco but, I'm a Will fan, and if he's got a chance of winning something, I want him to win it. :D
January 12, 201213 yr I see on Twitter it's already out there that Ed Sheeran has 4 nominations (Gotta be Breakthrough, Male, Single and Album) Jessie has 3 (Female, Breakthrough, SIngle) and Professor Green has been confirmed as nominated for Best Male so hoping Best Male looks like this: Ed Sheeran Professor Green Noel Gallagher Will Don't really care about the the fifth but probably James Morrison or Example.
January 12, 201213 yr BEST MALE: - Ed Sheeran. - James Morrison. - Noel Gallagher. - James Blake. - Professor Green. Absolute travesty. I can't even. f*** The Brits!!
January 12, 201213 yr hoping Best Male looks like this: Ed Sheeran Professor Green Noel Gallagher Will Don't really care about the the fifth but probably James Morrison or Example. Unfortunately it doesn't! :angry:
January 12, 201213 yr Author Feel absolutely gutted for Will. :cry: Haven't you a panto ticket to buy hasso? Edited January 12, 201213 yr by truly talented
January 12, 201213 yr I'm gutted too. :( I don't know why I allowed myself to think he would be nominated as my gut instinct lomg before tonight was that he wouldn't be. But then you see the undeserving ones who have been nominated... :angry: I dare say Will knows more about the politics than we do though. Please God Will does not go presenting any awards etc this year so the whole fiasco can be given the wide berth it deserves by his fans.

January 12, 201213 yr Surely he won't be there this year. I really really hope so TT but Will often takes a different route to what I would take! I would spit the dummy out big style but he often seems to have more grace than that.
January 12, 201213 yr Author I really really hope so TT but Will often takes a different route to what I would take! I would spit the dummy out big style but he often seems to have more grace than that. I know. I just don't know how he can sit there watching the less talented lauded over him. :angry:
January 12, 201213 yr I am FUMING! :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: I mean seriously what the f***! i don't often swear but what a load of nasty bast*rds! Ed Shreen i can understand James Blake OK i get it Noel yeah they Like him whatever Professor Green can sorta understand James Morrison i mean WTF!? seriously. He's not had a great year, sold less than Will, did a duet with Jessie J that went unnoticed. No.1 album yeah yeah, everyone's got those - Mr Young's got 3 :puke2: I'm fuming he's not performing,i'm fuming he cannot win now, and i'm even more f***ing fuming he's not nominated. Will have to wait wait 2-3 years for Will to do a studio album? and get nominated? and then Robbie williams will be there. Brits you've never aknowledged him. It was always the public. He had such a huge year at the time of Leave Right Now and he didnt win and wasn't allowed to perform. Other artists who are 'cool' and 'in' have semi alright years and are welcomed tothe stage. Brits oh how you never change.I really thought you'd see Will's talent this year after a great year this year with Echoes and Jealousy.
January 12, 201213 yr I've calmed down abit now! Phew, havent felt that angry in a while. I'm sure he was 6th, and i know no one sat down and said lets not nominate Will this year, it was more of the case that when ballots where sent out to thousands of members more people ticked those other names. Without anything personal to James Morrison, i can understand the inclusion of everyone else but him on that least. He was below par Will hype wise and sales wise, Jealousy was iconic and huge. The dream would have been Will performing, Best male nom, Best British album (i know a longshot) and British single. To sum up - a Number 1 album, 400k sold, Jealousy went Top 5, Jealousy No.1 Airplay hit with no end of career insight. Actually no reality contestants where nominated bar automatic nominations for Olly and One Direction due to high sales of their singles.
January 12, 201213 yr Well at least we don't have to feel upset on the night when Will doesn't win as always, :rolleyes: we all know he's best male anyway. It's between Ed Sheeran and Noel Gallagher for the award I think with Prof Green a small outside chance. The Brits are garbage now, they were rubbish before but totally laughable now. I wouldn't be surprised if Will goes on the night either and present an award, he'll go for the free booze and goodie bag. :lol:
January 13, 201213 yr I think Ed Sheeran will win. He is up for best album as well so it seems likely! :mellow: I expect Will to go, and have a good drink! ;)
