November 8, 201212 yr LOL doesn't mean she's GOOD or anything. Plus is she likely to stick around? lol bithc no bye Never mentioned her being good? But pretty sure she's done more in 2012 (sound of 2012 erm hello?) than most of the acts on that Sound of 2012 list - so, cheers for your input, but it's pretty much irrelevant.

November 9, 201212 yr Charli XCX is Marina's wannabe..I have heard her first song and i thought that she was Marina and The Diamonds..I think that she doesn't deserve it.. Considering Charli started her career when Marina's debut album wasn't even released, I pretty much doubt that. The songs MAY be influenced by Marina's and the two of them may have a similar sound but who can say they are a completely unique artist these days?! So I call bull.

November 10, 201212 yr Charli XCX is Marina's wannabe..I have heard her first song and i thought that she was Marina and The Diamonds..I think that she doesn't deserve it.. Their voices are more similar than their looks! btw Unicorn Kid.
November 10, 201212 yr Their voices are more similar than their looks! btw Unicorn Kid. Unicorn Kid has been on most people's unofficial 'ones to watch' lists for 3 years now, I can't suddenly see him making the list now.
November 10, 201212 yr Unicorn Kid has been on most people's unofficial 'ones to watch' lists for 3 years now, I can't suddenly see him making the list now. Exactly, I remember "Wild Life" being a minor hit in 2010 and a lot of talk about him for the Sound of 2011 list.
November 25, 201212 yr I've been hearing rumblings that Derry based singer songwriter SOAK might be an outside bet for this year's list. I really hope it's the case. Fingers crossed.
November 30, 201212 yr I've got a strong feeling Tom Odell will be on the list. Decent size tour planned and has just appeared on Jools Holland. Other than him I'd probably have to tip Gabrielle Aplin and Bear's Den as well. Edited November 30, 201212 yr by ohrichard
November 30, 201212 yr Author Yeah, Tom Odell's got a great chance, as have Imagine Dragons and maybe Savages too Haven't seen any announcement of when the list is being published yet
December 1, 201212 yr Yeah, Tom Odell's got a great chance, as have Imagine Dragons and maybe Savages too Haven't seen any announcement of when the list is being published yet Sound of 2013 will be announced on December 10th. The UK Blog Sound of 2013 (of which I'm on the voting panel) will be released on Monday.
December 1, 201212 yr Sound of 2013 will be announced on December 10th. The UK Blog Sound of 2013 (of which I'm on the voting panel) will be released on Monday. That's pretty impressive Chris. :D Will be interesting to see the top 20 as there really hasn't been much hype surrounding the BBC Sound of 2013 poll.
December 2, 201212 yr Sound of 2013 will be announced on December 10th. The UK Blog Sound of 2013 (of which I'm on the voting panel) will be released on Monday. How do you get on that? Bet SOAK wins it :P ?
December 3, 201212 yr Anyway people slating the list last year I don't think is quite right. In the past a lot of these acts have had their marketing and promotion campaigns geared up to be launched in January/February when the market used to be a lot quieter, radio more likely to playlist new releases after the big q4 market. Nowadays it is much harder to do that for record companies, which is why I think they didn't have too much success this year (more the British ones). Skrillex is completely different cos he is massive.
December 3, 201212 yr How do you get on that? Bet SOAK wins it :P ? It's organized by a few UK bloggers. 49 of us in all contributed our nominations. The longlist was announced this morning, and comprises: AlunaGeorge Curxes Chvrches Daughter Haim Laura Mvula MØ Palma Violets Pins Randolph’s Leap Rhye Savages Seasfire The Neighbourhood Tom Odell So unfortunately, SOAK didn't make it, although she was one of my nominations.

And no PSB either :cry:
December 3, 201212 yr And no PSB either :cry: Surely Pet Shop Boys are a little bit too far into their careers to be on the Sound of 2013 :P (I know what you meant)
December 3, 201212 yr And no PSB either :cry: They were one of my nominations, and I believe that they were one vote away from being included. :cry:
