Posted January 9, 201312 yr It's the BRIT Awards nominations tomorrow, what are everyone's predictions? Here are mine :- BEST BRITISH MALE Calvin Harris Ben Howard Labrinth Olly Murs Plan B BEST BRITISH FEMALE Paloma Faith Ellie Goulding Rita Ora Emeli Sande Jessie Ware BEST BRITISH BAND Alt-J Mumford & Sons Muse The Vaccines The XX BEST BRITISH SINGLE Adele Skyfall James Arthur Impossible Alex Clare Too Close Florence + The Machine Spectrum (Say My Name) Jessie J Domino Labrinth & Emeli Sande Beneath Your Beautiful Rizzle Kicks Mama do the Hump Rudimental Feel the Love Emeli Sande Next to Me Robbie Williams Candy BEST BRITISH ALBUM Alt-J An Awesome Wave Mumford & Sons Babel Plan B iLL Manors Emeli Sande Our Version of Events The Vaccines Come of Age BEST BRITISH BREAKTHROUGH Alt-J Jake Bugg Labrinth Rita Ora StooShe BEST INTERNATIONAL MALE Flo Rida Gotye Bruno Mars Bruce Springsteen Jack White BEST INTERNATIONAL FEMALE Lana Del Rey Alicia Keys Pink Rihanna Taylor Swift BEST INTERNATIONAL BAND fun.

January 9, 201312 yr I predict performances from Emeli Sande, Jake Bugg, probably Rihanna again, fun., Paloma Faith, Alt-J, maybe Adele (mega boost for Skyfall, thanks!) and some other acts who have had a moderately successful album the past year but little singles chart activity. Might do the awards later.
January 9, 201312 yr Surely Frank Ocean is at least a shoe-in for a nomination in the International Male category. Thinking about it, if Frank Ocean was invited to perform and he sung 'Thinkin Bout You', I'm wondering whether it would have a significant effect on the singles chart.

January 9, 201312 yr Surely Frank Ocean is at least a shoe-in for a nomination in the International Male category. Thinking about it, if Frank Ocean was invited to perform and he sung 'Thinkin Bout You', I'm wondering whether it would have a significant effect on the singles chart. It probably would, but Adele aside they do try and get only the most successful acts from the previous year on. Muse are probably a better bet than the Vaccines for the album nod but otherwise those predictions look pretty solid.
January 9, 201312 yr I was thinking about Best British Single the other day, that looks like a pretty good list but I was unsure whether they'd have Emeli on twice, even if one is just a featured credit. "Troublemaker" & "Little Things" will hopefully be up, maybe in place of Alex Clare.
January 9, 201312 yr No doubt Emeli Sande will be performing and win every single award she's nominated for.
January 9, 201312 yr I was thinking about Best British Single the other day, that looks like a pretty good list but I was unsure whether they'd have Emeli on twice, even if one is just a featured credit. "Troublemaker" & "Little Things" will hopefully be up, maybe in place of Alex Clare. "Little Things" (or any One Direction single) won't appear. The Best British Single award is usually the 10 biggest-selling British singles of the past year combined with airplay, and I don't think that's even in the top 20 on sales. It'll be interesting not having an act with a huge fanbase in this category for a change though, after One Direction, JLS, Girls Aloud and Take That have won 5 of the past 6 (with a surprise win for Labrinth in 2011)!
January 9, 201312 yr I think Halcyon might get nominated for album but it certainly won't win because Emeli is bound to take it.
January 9, 201312 yr Not sure if Emile will attend let alone perform. She likes to keep herself to herself and isn't really one to appear on TV etc. I agree about the Frank Ocean comment, he surely has to get some recognition. I think Olly Murs could do very well, he seems to do no wrong atm.
January 9, 201312 yr Best British Male Robbie Williams Ed Sheeran Olly Murs Ben Howard Labrinth Best British Female Emeli Sande Rita Ora Florence + The Machine Ellie Goulding Paloma Faith Best British Breakthrough Jake Bugg Jessie Ware Lianne La Havas Little Mix Best British Group The Vaccines Mumford & Sons Alt-J The xx One Direction Best British Single Olly Murs - Troublemaker James Arthur - Impossible Jessie J - Domino Emeli Sande - Next To Me Labrinth - Beneath Your Beautiful Calvin Harris - Sweet Nothing Florence & The Machine - Spectrum Best British Album Mumford & Sons - Babel Emeli Sande - Our Version Of Events Alt-J - An Awesome Wave Olly Murs - Right Place Right Time The xx - Coexist Muse - 2nd Law Best International Male Frank Ocean Justin Bieber Bruno Mars Best International Female Nicki Minaj Rihanna Lana Del Rey Pink Taylor Swift Best International Group Swedish House Mafia The Lumineers Of Monsters And Men fun. Best International Breakthrough fun. Gotye Of Monsters And Men Azealia Banks There's probably something obvious that I've excluded but this is what I think it'll look like for now. Who I think will win in italics. Edited January 9, 201312 yr by 2013 Thermometer

I think Olly Murs could do very well, he seems to do no wrong atm. Of course she will turn up and she will more than likely perform if she turned up to the Mobos she will defintely turn up to the Brits which is considered more prestigious than the Mobo's her management would probably make sure she goes.
January 9, 201312 yr I think Maverick Sabre and Michael Kiwanuka might both get places in the British Male group. Hoping for Alt-J and Plan B get a few nominations
January 9, 201312 yr I think Maverick Sabre and Michael Kiwanuka might both get places in the British Male group. Hoping for Alt-J and Plan B get a few nominations Yes to Maverick Sabre! He's probably my favourite solo male of 2012, so he at least deserves a nomination as British Male or British Album. A nomination for Plan B's ill Manors would be great after he himself doubted it would sell well in the charts.
January 10, 201312 yr new award design http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/20965660 nominations event starts at 4pm
January 10, 201312 yr I'm not liking the look of that statue! It's not been great since they've had famous artists doing it - I'd much rather the stuck with the original silver design [/boring]. I'm looking forward to the nominations, particularly albums and singles. My favourite British albums last year are unlikely to be noticed, but it'd be nice for Paloma Faith to be nominated for it, despite it clearly being Emeli's award.
January 10, 201312 yr I expect Emeli Sande to share at least part of every performance. She'll probably sneak best male award too. I'm sure there'll be mention of her winning the critics choice everytime she wins something and they'll go on about how they'd correctly predicted her success (forget the fact she'd already had a top 2 hit 6 months earlier) But seriously, would love Pink and Maroon 5 to win something but that'll never happen.
January 10, 201312 yr I will announce the nominations (like last year) when they are officially announced! :D Aren't the nominations meant to be revealed on the Brit Awards Twitter feed? Edited January 10, 201312 yr by G_R_I_E_F

A nomination for Plan B's ill Manors would be great after he himself doubted it would sell well in the charts. I don't think that Maverick Sabre will get any nominations. :( Plan B should get some nominations, but we'll see. ^_^
