Well, looks like we'll be hearing Human for the next five months in that case :D
Rag'n'Bone Man has won the Critics' Choice Award!

That's actually a major disappointment.

 

When you consider just how many male artists have won in recent years (Tom Odell, Sam Smith, James Bay, Jack Garrett) it needed to be a female artist, and yet despite two amazing female nominees, another male artist does it. :(

Yeah, he definitely screams one hit wonder... Would have loved either Anne-Marie or Dua to win :(
Having heard a selection of his material when he supported Tom Odell on tour, I think he's got plenty of potential hits to come! I think he'll at least manage a second hit a la George Ezra, James Bay and Hozier, and a definite big-selling album.

Hi all,

 

Since the 2017 Brit Award nominations are coming up in a few weeks, I thought it would be interesting to see who we think/want to be nominated for an award in each category. They are as follows:

  • Best British Male
  • Best British Breakthrough
  • Best British Single
  • Mastercard Best British Album
  • Best British Video
  • Best International Male
  • Best International Female
  • Best International Group
  • Best International Album
  • Best British Female
  • Best British Group

I am anticipating multiple nominations for: The 1975, Emeli Sande and Little Mix

Good idea. I'm going to come back to my post, but some early predictors from me:

  • Best British Male - Zayn (unless they decide to count him as a 'breakthrough'), Craig David, Robbie Williams, Calvin Harris, Olly Murs (also Skepta potentially)
  • Best British Breakthrough - Callum Scott, Blossoms
  • Best British Single - Little Mix (Shout Out to My Ex), The 1975 (The Sound?), Emeli Sande (Hurts), Clean Bandit (Rockabye), Callum Scott (Dancing on My Own), James Arthur (Say You Won't Let Go)
  • Mastercard Best British Album - Emeli Sande (Long Live the Angels)
  • Best British Video - Calvin Harris (This Is What You Came For)
  • Best International Male - Bruno Mars, Shawn Mendes, Drake, The Weeknd, Frank Ocean (also Justin Bieber or Chance the Rapper potentially)
  • Best International Female - Christine and the Queens, Beyonce, Rihanna, Sia, Ariana Grande
  • Best International Group - Major Lazer, twenty one pilots, Lukas Graham, Kings of Leon, The Chainsmokers
  • Best International Album - Beyonce (Lemonade)
  • Best British Female - Ellie Goulding, Emeli Sande, PJ Harvey (had a #1 album this year)
  • Best British Group - The 1975, Little Mix, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Clean Bandit, Biffy Clyro (also Coldplay or Radiohead potentially)

Best British Breakthrough is particularly tough to think of I'm finding. The likes of Dua Lipa and Anne-Marie were foolishly nominated for Critics Choice, so I don't think we'll see them nominated anywhere else.

 

Also not sure which obscure artists they'll decide to nominate this year. Neither FKA twigs, nor Laura Marling released anything.

A few ideas:

 

Best British Male: Tom Odell, Jack Garratt, ZAYN, Craig David

Best British Breakthrough: Jack Garratt, Blossoms

Best British Single: it's the top 10 British singles of the year by sales/streams, without artist repeats, so it should these: This Is What You Came For, Dancing On My Own, Fast Car, Say You Won't Let Go, Hymn for the Weekend, PILLOWTALK, Girls Like, Tears, Shout Out to My Ex, All My Friends

Mastercard Best British Album: The 1975, Blossoms, Emeli Sandé

Best British Video: PILLOWTALK, This Is What You Came For, Shout Out To My Ex

Best International Male: The Weeknd, Drake, Bruno Mars, Frank Ocean, Shawn Mendes

Best International Female: Ariana Grande, Beyoncé, Sia, Rihanna, Christine & the Queens

Best International Group: twenty one pilots, Lukas Graham

Best International Album: does this actually exist anymore?

Best British Female: Emeli Sandé

Best British Group: Blossoms, Catfish & The Bottlemen, Bastille, Little Mix, The 1975

 

Agreed with a lot of your noms there SLlewellyn! I think they'll shove Jack Garratt into the Male and Breakthrough categories because he won Critics' Choice last year, and I think Tom Odell will get a British Male nod for a similar reason (although his album actually did decently).

Can Tinashe get a nod for 'Nightride' please? Thanks. xxxx

Best British Male: Craig David, Robbie Williams, Rock Astley, ZAYN, Tom Odell

 

Best British Breakthrough: Blossoms, JP Cooper, Jonas Blue,

 

MasterCard Best British Album: Blossoms, Rick Astley, Olly Murs, Robbie Williams, Emeli Sandé

 

Best British Video: Shout Out To My Ex, This Is What You Came For, Rockabye, PILLOWTALK, Send My Love, Army

 

Best International Male: Drake, Bruno Mars, The Weeknd, Shawn Mendes, John Legend

 

Best International Female: Pink, Sia, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Alicia Keys

 

Best International Group: The Chainsmokers, Lukas Graham, TOP, DNCE, OneRepublic

 

Best British Female: Ellie Goulding, Emeli Sandé, Louisa Johnson, Charli XCX, ?????

 

Best British Group: Clean Bandit, Bastille, Blossoms, Little Mix, ????
