February 25, 201510 yr Amazed Fuse ODG hasn't been nominated - yet again our black musicians have been snubbed. I don't think race is anything to do with it. There are black people nominated: FKA Twigs (Best Female + Breakthrough), Route 94 (Best Single + Video) and the international categories have Pharrell, John Legend and Beyonce. I don't think Fuse ODG has been successful or indie enough to warrant a nomination, which basically seems to be their criteria for nominations.

I don't think Fuse ODG has been successful or indie enough to warrant a nomination, which basically seems to be their criteria for nominations. Fuse ODG was one of the biggest stars of last year imo and deserves credit for pushing African music into the mainstream The nominations seem very safe to me and reflective of an industry that support white artists over black ones (in most cases) to appeal to a wider audience. Its why people like Sam Smith and George Ezra get the push over the likes of Kwabs and Jacob Banks. They're all talented but labels pick safer options all the time.

February 25, 201510 yr Brit Awards is the one ceremony I always look forward to ^_^ Even if there are usually a few 'huh?' results. So yay that this is on tonight! I'm terrible with predictions so these are the ones I'd WANT to win: Mastercard British Album alt-J - This Is All Yours British Single Clean Bandit feat.

February 25, 201510 yr Oh I didn't know Ant & Dec were presenting -_- how tedious, definitely will fast forward to the Madonna & Paloma performances now.
February 25, 201510 yr Predictions from me just before 8 :) Anyone else watching the red carpet live? Also lets relive one of the best ever Brit awards :heart: bEh2iECS0To
February 25, 201510 yr Spice Girls '97 and of course Adele's one in 2011 are the instant ones that spring to mind, both so iconic! :wub:
February 25, 201510 yr Spice Girls '97 and of course Adele's one in 2011 are the instant ones that spring to mind, both so iconic! :wub: I knew I was forgetting an iconic one, of course Adele was stunning :heart:
February 25, 201510 yr I will watch as I usually do but I can't imagine this being one of the best BRIT awards ceremonies ever. Take a shot every time Sam Smith is mentioned.
February 25, 201510 yr Lady Gaga doing 'Dance in the Dark / Telephone' is my #1 highlight. Ant and Dec are a marked improvement from the horrid James Corden of last year. Looking forward to Madonna, Kanye West and Taylor performance wise (so basically the non-Brits lol).
February 25, 201510 yr I didn't watch last year (who actually performed last year bar Bastille/Ella) but watched the year before which was good Take a shot every time Sam Smith is mentioned. Take a shot every time Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, George Ezra and a MOR song/artist is mentioned. By the time the ceremony is over, you will be dead :lol:
February 25, 201510 yr I hope Kanye West interrupts someone's speech just to make watching this more interesting. Award ceremony controversies are fun.
February 25, 201510 yr is Global Success AKA made up award for One Direction back this year? :magic: Yes I think :( I think I read Sam, ed, oneawardmadeupfordirectiin and someone else are up :( Also are only British artists up for that award?
February 25, 201510 yr is Global Success AKA made up award for One Direction back this year? :magic: I hope not, wouldn't be surprised if they won Music Video though because of the fan base.
February 25, 201510 yr Ouch! at Sam Smith being described as a woman from this "The Old Grey Album Test" segement.
February 25, 201510 yr Anyone watching "The Brits Backstage"? The one on itv2? If so yes :heart: Just waiting for Taylor
