November 22, 20213 yr Author What makes an album "best album" though? Sales? Positive reviews by "critics"?
November 22, 20213 yr Author I suppose what I'm driving at is: why would it be so wrong if fans did the voting and not the committee? Both groups would be affected by sentiments, and individual/collective tastes. If I remember correctly, when Girls Aloud won British single in 2009, it was fan voted.
November 22, 20213 yr To echo others why is Pop/R&B lumped together in an award.... and is there any real need to get rid of the gender categories? Could they not just expand by having genre awards in addition.
November 22, 20213 yr To echo others why is Pop/R&B lumped together in an award.... and is there any real need to get rid of the gender categories? Could they not just expand by having genre awards in addition. Gender categories aren't very inclusive - they're quite the opposite in fact - in a progressive world!
December 18, 20213 yr Hoping Adele sweeps the 4 categories she's nominated in . She would then tie Robbie Williams for most BRIT awards (13). International song I hope goes to Billie Eilish - "Happier Than Ever". Other than that I'm not too fussed. Edited December 18, 20213 yr by Envoirment
December 18, 20213 yr Oh and ABBA for international group! It would be amazing to see them win their first BRIT award. Edited December 18, 20213 yr by Envoirment

December 18, 20213 yr Very happy with the 2 noms for Joy Crookes, she also deserved album of the year Really hope Sam Fender wins Album of the year Very good call merging Female/Male into 1 and adding genre categories and more international awards
December 18, 20213 yr I must have missed it on the announcement for the removal of the gender awards but was shocked but very happy to see an international song category. I don’t know why they couldn’t stretch to album too but it’s been long overdue and im all for it. Refreshing to see genres included after 15 years, even if they are mixed matched and don’t make a huge amount of sense. I’m hoping either Adele or Fender win album and I that someone other than billie wins international artist. She shouldn’t have been nominated last year.
December 18, 20213 yr I’ll be honest, I’d never heard of Little Simz - she must have a cracking publicist
December 18, 20213 yr Album of the year Adele - 30 Dave - We're All Alone In This Together Ed Sheeran - = Little Simz - Sometimes I Might Be Introvert Sam Fender - Seventeen Going Under Artist of the Year Adele Dave Ed Sheeran Little Simz Sam Fender Love when awards shows do this, just primo content
December 18, 20213 yr I’ll be honest, I’d never heard of Little Simz - she must have a cracking publicist I mean her album is amongst the most critically acclaimed of the year x
December 18, 20213 yr It charted at #4 with no charting singles - not exactly commercially successful. If this was the Mercury Prize sure, but the Brits are something else.
December 18, 20213 yr Yeah the inclusion of Little Simz in all those categories is a bit random even if the album has been critically acclaimed. I expect she'll win Best New Artist given that she has no chance of winning her other categories with the huge names she's up against. If Adele sweeps the board, could Ed actually walk away completely empty-handed? Awks for him if he does, especially if he performs too which he likely will.

December 18, 20213 yr I’d imagine Bad Habits could win Best Single, Adele could win Best Artist / Best Pop Artist and even Sam Fender could win best album
December 18, 20213 yr I think Ed will likely win the best pop act given its fan based. Really looking forward to see who wins producer/songwriter of the year. I have a feeling Adele or Ed might pick up the latter.
December 18, 20213 yr Ed will surely win something, probably Best Single. Adele perhaps the other 3 she's up for. I'm hoping Adele wins all 4 though.
December 18, 20213 yr Author My predictions: Album of the year: 30 - Adele Artist of the year: Ed Sheeran Group of the year: Coldplay Song of the Year: Bad Habits - Ed Sheeran Best Pop/RnB: Ed Sheeran Best dance act: Joel Corry/Raye Best new artist: Little Simz Best Rock/alternative: ....... Best HipHop: Dave International artist: Olivia Rodrigo International Group: ABBA International Song: Good 4 U Edit: This is purely based on assumptions on degrees of success. Ed with two #1 singles (three if you include the Christmas one), a number one album, and 15 weeks at the top surely counts for something. But again, I'm sure they'd want some degree of diversity and representation, and my list is actually straight white male dominated! Edited December 18, 20213 yr by Yousee
