She's also confirmed to be performing at the BRITs again this year. I guess she'll perform Turning Tables or something? I assume she won't be doing Someone Like You again in any case :P

Didn't expect her NOT to get nominated, but great new! :D tbh, she should win all three!

 

Turning Tables or Rumour Has It is what she'll perform I think, or maybe she'll do a duet :wub:

I think she could win all three, too! How is the winner decided? Is it based on chart success? I think Capital FM listeners vote for Best Single, so not really based on charts.

I think she should definitely get all 3, to win a Brit against Adele based on 2011 would be crazy. Looking forward to the event, and her performance. I'd love Turning Tables, it wont be Rumour Has It. I cant imagine her doing a medley. Maybe she'll just perform SFTTR or RITD. SFTTR needs a video now anyway in the US as its a potential #1 over there so a video may be put out on UK TV too in that case :o Would be very late for us though :lol:

I'm glad she's confirmed to be performing - hopefully it will be Turning Tables :D

I would be delighted to see her win all 3 awards as i believe she truly deserves them. That said, the Brit academy like to shock us sometimes and give awards to acts that we would never expect to win so i just hope Adele doesnt suffer as a result of it this year.

Of Course Adele would win, no matter how much the judging panel want to shock they know that the awards will be invalidated if Adele doesn't sweep up

I would personally prefer to see Florence get the MC Album award, but Adele is deserving too.

Which is a complete disgrace, sales shouldn't be a factor in the result.

Huh?. so public popularity doesnt count(the opinions of millions of people), but the personal opinion of a panel of Judges does?. How does that work.

Whats a disgrace is award judging panels giving awards to artists whose albums havent sold well(to boost thier sales), because the panel has been 'encouraged' by the acts record company.

Utter nonsense. Awards should be prestigious and based mainly on quality otherwise "artists" like One Direction (or whatever crap is selling at the minute) would win everything.

Awards should be based on quality, but quality isnt objective, we all measure quality differently, so how can that work? There is always going to be conflicting opinions there's no getting around that.

Well she deservedly won the two big awards and absolutely deservedly so! :wub: She was genuinely surprised as well, which was amazing to watch. Her 'Rolling in the Deep' performance was stunning too - obviously it didn't top last year, but to say she's been out of action for six months, it was phenomenal!

Adele took home the two awards that mattered. (British Single is a joke these days since it's just about which boyband has the most fangirls.) She'll also probably be the talking point of this year's ceremony too after she was cut-off mid-speech and stuck her finger up at the "suits."

Just echo what Theo & Slick have said, she won the two big awards she was up for and deservedly so. :wub: She looked beautiful last night, and another great performance of the brilliant 'Rolling in the Deep'.

Who decides what is 'quality'?. Large sales and artistic quality CAN go together, the two are not mutually exclusive. I'm not sure why you quote one direction as an example of big sales winning, If the brits had awarded the 'best single' to the highest sales then one direction would have come nowhere. One direction were voted winners by on online poll, (the darling of teeny speed dialers) , nothing to do with sales.

 

You sound like you are saying any act that sells a lot has no artistic merit, which IS 'Utter nonsense'.
