February 19, 201312 yr And let's not forget Alexandra Burke - poor girl! :cry: Heartbreak On Hold should be up there for Album of the Year! On a serious note, I'm surprised they snubbed Leona Lewis! :o I know she underperformed but she still had moderate success and she went to BRIT school - surely they be showcasing what amazing talent they helped produce! I'm not. She's just not that successful or big as she once was. I can definitely understand her snubbing
February 19, 201312 yr Exactly. She surely can't be as bad as she's being made out to be if her album's still charting high a year on from its release? :wacko: She's not bad at all, I could even describe as "good" if I was being kind. That's different to exciting though.
February 19, 201312 yr Predictions for tomorrow night in bold, and who I want to win in italics: British Male Solo Artist Ben Howard Calvin Harris Olly Murs Plan B Richard Hawley British Female Solo Artist Amy Winehouse Bat For Lashes Emeli Sande Jessie Ware Paloma Faith British Breakthrough Act Alt-J Ben Howard Jake Bugg Jessie Ware Rita Ora British Group Alt-J Mumford & Sons Muse One Direction The XX British Live Act Coldplay Mumford & Sons Muse The Rolling Stones The Vaccines British Single Adele - "Skyfall" Alex Clare - "Too Close" Coldplay ft. Rihanna - "Princess of China" DJ Fresh ft. Rita Ora - "Hot Right Now" Emeli Sandé - "Next to Me" Florence + the Machine - "Spectrum" James Arthur - "Impossible" Jessie J - "Domino" Labrinth ft. Emeli Sandé - "Beneath Your Beautiful" Olly Murs ft. Flo Rida - "Troublemaker" Rita Ora ft. Tinie Tempah - "R.I.P." Rizzle Kicks - "Mama Do the Hump" Robbie Williams - "Candy" Rudimental ft. John Newman - "Feel the Love" Stooshe - "Black Heart" MasterCard British Album Alt-J - An Awesome Wave Emeli Sandé - Our Version of Events Mumford & Sons - Babel Paloma Faith - Fall to Grace Plan B - iLL Manors International Male Solo Artist Bruce Springsteen Frank Ocean Gotye Jack White Michael Bublé International Female Solo Artist Alicia Keys Cat Power Lana Del Rey Rihanna Taylor Swift International Group Alabama Shakes The Black Keys fun. The Killers The Script Some of the categories are far more open than previously actually. Praying Frank can bag International Male, I think he is in with a good chance.
February 19, 201312 yr I'm not. She's just not that successful or big as she once was. I can definitely understand her snubbing Exactly, she's just not successful enough to get nominated. Or her family or management didn't ask the Brits organisers to nominate her for an award, which is what I presume Any Winehouse and Cat Power's family or management did. :kink: I'm literally praying for Frank to win as well. I wish him all the luck in the world. :wub: Edited February 19, 201312 yr by Grieflemore

I wish him all the luck in the world. :wub: Mitch Winehouse appeared on BBC Breakfast this morning for an interview. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01590yf He said "Amy should be there to collect her own award" which suggested that she'd won. Maybe he knows something we don't! Also, if they wanted to give her a posthumous award, why not give her the lifetime achievement award (which no one is receiving this year!)
February 19, 201312 yr K so predictions... Best Male - Ben Howard Best Breakthrough - Jake Bugg British Female - Emeli Sandé British Group - Mumford & Sons British Live Act - Mumford & Sons International Female - Taylor Swift International Group - The Script British Producer - Paul Epworth Mastercard British Album - Emeli Sandé International Male - Gotye British Single - Adele Wants: Best Male - Calvin Harris Best Breakthrough - Jake Bugg British Female - Amy Winehouse British Group - The xx British Live Act - The Rolling Stones International Female - Lana Del Rey International Group - Alabama Shakes British Producer - Paul Epworth Mastercard British Album - Emeli Sandé International Male - Jack White British Single - DJ Fresh Disappointing nominations especially British Single.

February 19, 201312 yr Who in the blue hell is Cat Power :blink: Exactly, they snubbed Nicki Minaj for some unknown person! :angry:
February 19, 201312 yr Exactly, they snubbed Nicki Minaj for some unknown person! :angry: As much as dislike Minaj, she is at least a successful international female artist who has been in the charts. Personally Id prefer Kelly or Pink to be there. Edited February 19, 201312 yr by Rob Summers
February 19, 201312 yr Exactly, they snubbed Nicki Minaj for some unknown person! :angry: I know. DEATH TO CAT POWER ETC. Is this the place to talk about the awards show or should I make a new thread for the Lounge? I think that the aswards show has always been the place to talk about the actual event... :unsure:
February 19, 201312 yr I know. DEATH TO CAT POWER ETC. Is this the place to talk about the awards show or should I make a new thread for the Lounge? I think that the aswards show has always been the place to talk about the actual event... :unsure: I think its best to not start a new thread as it'll get confusing. Best to stay here as the thread title is very straight forward.
February 19, 201312 yr I think its best to not start a new thread as it'll get confusing. Best to stay here as the thread title is very straight forward. OK, I'll talk about it here then. :D Cheers for that!
February 19, 201312 yr Exactly, they snubbed Nicki Minaj for some unknown person! :angry: Cat Power >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nicki Minaj Also, is it actually true that the British Single award is being chosen by a panel? That seems like a better way of doing things, even if it's now kinda predictable that Adele will win (and i imagine they'll want to make it up to her after the whole 'interrupted speech' debacle from last year) Edited February 19, 201312 yr by SevenSeize

That seems like a better way of doing things, even if it's now kinda predictable that Adele will win (and i imagine they'll want to make it up to her after the whole 'interrupted speech' debacle from last year) :( x2 (for Cat Power and best British Single) I wouldn't mind if Adele got it but Feel The Love is the only song on the list that broke new ground for music in 2012 in my opinion. :D Edited February 19, 201312 yr by Grieflemore
February 19, 201312 yr I wouldn't mind if Adele got it but Feel The Love is the only song on the list that broke new ground for music in 2012 in my opinion. :D Oh yes, Feel the Love is definitely the best song on that list (Spectrum and Too Close not far behind). C'mon Brits, at least give us ONE shock result!
February 19, 201312 yr Cat Power >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nicki Minaj Also, is it actually true that the British Single award is being chosen by a panel? That seems like a better way of doing things, even if it's now kinda predictable that Adele will win (and i imagine they'll want to make it up to her after the whole 'interrupted speech' debacle from last year) :o Blasphemy!!! Nicki>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>The whole world I hope Adele wins after she lost out last year. Ignoring that though, I would have liked Florence - Spectrum!
February 20, 201312 yr There's also a "Global Success" category this year, with only three nominees - Adele, Mumford & Sons and One Direction. I'd hope that Adele got it, but all three of them would be deserving.
February 20, 201312 yr http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a46...andby-host.html James Cordon is apparently very ill and may miss the Brits. Please get better, I know I'm not a fan of James Cordon but ANYONE is better than Chris bloody acts like a five-year-old Evans!
