Posted November 29, 20177 yr So the Brits have announced the Critics Choice for the Brits in 2018. Who do you think has the most potential to be a chart force in 2018? Edited November 29, 20177 yr by cqmerqn
November 29, 20177 yr Author I went for Stefflon Don. Her new single will bomb but she should be back on track soon for a great 2018.
November 29, 20177 yr I've gone for Jorja Smith. Her track with Drake was great and I think I heard another track from her at some point that appealed. Can't say I remember it though!
November 29, 20177 yr This feels like a bit of a weird list, it contains 2 acts that were on Sound of 2017 and one that was on Sound of 2016 :lol: All three of them are semi established already, could they find no appropriate new acts? (They're all pretty similar musically as well...) Jorja is probably my favourite of the 3 but they're all pretty much on the same level. Absolutely no idea who is most likely to win it.
November 29, 20177 yr I actually can't see any of these 3 being any bigger than they currently are? Maybe that's just me. But I'll go for Mabel.
November 29, 20177 yr I like all 3 so don't really mind who wins! I think it'll be Mabel, but should be Jorja Smith.
November 29, 20177 yr I said Mabel out of the three. Also, who won last year I can't remember who? Drag'n'Bone Man full list: 2008 - Adele 2009 - Florence + The Machine 2010 - Ellie Goulding 2011 - Jessie J 2012 - Emeli Sande 2013 - Tom Odell 2014 - Sam Smith 2015 - James Bay 2016 - Jack Garratt 2017 - Rag'n'Bone Man
November 29, 20177 yr At least it will be a female winner again for the first time in ages! Hope it's Jorja Smith, saw her in NYC this summer and she was great.
November 29, 20177 yr I quite like Jorja Smith, but where’s her album? Her career isn’t going to nowhere only that appearance on Drake’s album. I don’t know the situation with her label, but there’s clearly a lack of management there.
November 29, 20177 yr Well she did just have a minor hit single with 'On My Mind' (#54 peak), she needs more than that before she puts out an album though. I expect Mabel will win this as 'Finders Keepers' was a top 10 and they've never given it to a rapper before so Stefflon seems less likely.
November 29, 20177 yr None will be as big as the 3 nominees last year (Dua, Rag N Bone man and Anne Marie are all still doing really well) so not as interested I'll predict Mabel I would like Stefflon
November 29, 20177 yr I voted for Jorja as I misread the question and thought it said 'who would you like to win?' As for I think will win... well I'm fairly undecided! Stefflon Don is the biggest of the three currently but gut feeling tells me she won't have longevity with her success (not just because of Ding-A-Ling), I feel like Mabel is still yet to establish herself as I think her success is based on the strength of Finders Keepers rather than meriting her artistry, she could be a one-hit wonder, although hopefully not as she has some excellent previous material. My personal favourite is Jorja and seeing as she hasn't had any big hits unlike the other two I'm hoping for her - she does have potential but her only moderate success, 'On My Mind', was a bit average and rightfully didn't blow up so I'm unsure!
November 29, 20177 yr Drag'n'Bone Man full list: 2008 - Adele 2009 - Florence + The Machine 2010 - Ellie Goulding 2011 - Jessie J 2012 - Emeli Sande 2013 - Tom Odell 2014 - Sam Smith 2015 - James Bay 2016 - Jack Garratt 2017 - Rag'n'Bone Man Aside from Jack Garratt that list is pretty extraordinary really. This award is really huge. I love many of Mabel’s songs. I don’t know much of Jorja’s but I love On My Mind and Teenage Fantasy. Stefflon isn’t for me although Instruction is great.
