January 9, 20187 yr It's meant to be primarily a celebration of British music, it wouldn't make sense to allow International acts to compete in the same categories as British. Though I do wish they gave a bit more airtime to the International section, they seem to gloss over them quickly.
January 9, 20187 yr I know The Brits have been known to bend the rules oddly in terms of how they nominate. But Best International/British Male/female/group are all done once per era. Little Mix were already nominated for the Glory Days era (nominations work on what was released up until Q4 - hence how Sam Smith and Taylor will get noms), so don't be surprised if they don't get a nomination this year.
January 9, 20187 yr but you don't need an album out last year Ellie Goulding was nominated for best female and didn't had an album out, just a single
January 9, 20187 yr but you don't need an album out last year Ellie Goulding was nominated for best female and didn't had an album out, just a single I know, read what I said - I said there are rules that have been bent, (Ellie, Ariana and Amy from recent memory were odd). But for people not to be surprised if they're not for that reason because it's generally the rule.
January 9, 20187 yr Hope P!nk gets a performance slot and wind International female. It's going to be quite predictable who wins what awards though, as I'm sure Ed will be nominated many categories. Still, I'm looking forward to the show and maybe they won't be as predictable as we all think!
January 9, 20187 yr Announced on Twitter that the next performer announced has 4 Brits to they’re name- I think it could be Eminem
January 9, 20187 yr Thought I'd make some predictions for nominations. British Male Solo Artist * Ed Sheeran * George Michael * Rag'n'Bone Man * Sam Smith * Stormzy British Female Solo Artist * Anne-Marie * Dua Lipa * Jessie Ware * Laura Marling * Paloma Faith Best British Group * Kasabian * London Grammar * Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds * Royal Blood * The XX British Breakthrough Act * Dua Lipa * J Hus * Loyle Carner * Mabel * Sampha Best British Album * Ed Sheeran - Divide * Liam Gallagher - As You Were * Rag'n'Bone Man - Human * Sam Smith - The Thrill Of It All * Stormzy - Gang Signs & Prayer Best British Single * Clean Bandit feat. Zara Larsson - Symphony * Dua Lipa - New Rules * Ed Sheeran - Shape of You * Jax Jones feat. RAYE - You Don’t Know Me * J Hus ~ Did You See * Jonas Blue feat. William Singe - Mama * Liam Payne feat.

January 9, 20187 yr Foo Fighters performing I expect they will win win Intl Group then. They usually give it to anyone who bothers to show up. :lol:
January 9, 20187 yr I don't see how they could nominate George Michael? I know David Bowie and Leonard Cohen were nominated last year, but they had released new albums shortly before they died. George Micheal last released a new album in 2004.
January 9, 20187 yr They could use the Listen Without Prejudice re-release as an excuse to nominate him.
January 9, 20187 yr First time Foo Fighters have ever performed at the Brits apparently, so a huge deal! :o
January 9, 20187 yr They also nominated Amy Winehouse 5 years after her death just because of the documentary film about her :lol:
January 9, 20187 yr SURELY Zara will get an International Female nomination? I'd be surprised if she got it over the 4 more commercial names I mentioned and then there's always at least one that's a bit less mainstream (Solange, Courtney Barnett, St Vincent, Janelle Monae etc). But you never know!
January 10, 20187 yr I'd be surprised if she got it over the 4 more commercial names I mentioned and then there's always at least one that's a bit less mainstream (Solange, Courtney Barnett, St Vincent, Janelle Monae etc). But you never know! Suppose, in terms of females she had the second most streamed album of 2018. I know I've got my loon glasses on but the 'So Good' sales / streams are rather unbeatable by anybody in this category.
January 10, 20187 yr the international categories are always more open and surprising even Bjork won 2 years ago, which was pretty shocking considering she sells zero albums and she beat Lana and Ariana
