December 18, 20213 yr Holly Humberstone, yet another white indie/pop singer winning the Rising Star award. Such a surprise!
December 18, 20213 yr Author Jorja Smith, Celeste and Griff have won it in the last four years though?
December 18, 20213 yr Holly Humberstone, yet another white indie/pop singer winning the Rising Star award. Such a surprise! There's no need to complain. Female representation and it's been won by plenty of POC females in the past few years?
December 18, 20213 yr Very happy that the gender based categories are gone. Now Ed and Adele are competing against each other which makes it all way more exciting and prestigious.
December 18, 20213 yr Excellent to see Self Esteem get a nod for New Artist, I didn't expect that! :wub: Pleased to see a bit more representation for International acts as well, especially in Group. Not a huge amount surprising otherwise, I wish Album wasn't just reflecting Artist exactly though and it's a stretch calling Little Simz 'new' given this is her fourth album!

Agree with that re:Little Simz, I’m not sure why they changed the category from ‘Breakthrough’ to ‘New Artist’
December 19, 20213 yr Surprised Mimi Webb missed out on new artist It did feel a bit mean to have her perform and nor nominated for a single award!
December 19, 20213 yr Very happy that the gender based categories are gone. Now Ed and Adele are competing against each other which makes it all way more exciting and prestigious. I didn't clock that one until the nominations came out for some reason. Seems like a good move.
December 19, 20213 yr Holly Humberstone, yet another white indie/pop singer winning the Rising Star award. Such a surprise! I mean did not a POC win it for the last two years in a row? Don't really see the need to complain apart from for the sake of complaining here tbh I actually think there has been a pretty mixed bag of winners of the rising star award.
December 19, 20213 yr Okay maybe I phrased it wrong, but it does usually go to indie singers, or singer/songwriter types - I think Rina and Bree would've benefitted more personally. That's all, not that deep.
December 19, 20213 yr Fyi, I actually like Holly Humberstone and saw her live but her type always gets promotion, she doesn't really need it imo.
December 19, 20213 yr Agree with that re:Little Simz, I’m not sure why they changed the category from ‘Breakthrough’ to ‘New Artist’ Little Simz getting nominated more than Little Mix too :o
December 19, 20213 yr Author Little Simz getting nominated more than Little Mix too :o That’s not too surprising, Simz released one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the year...
December 20, 20213 yr Exactly, thats the least surprising nomination I was actually surprised at Little Mix being nominated, thought you have to release a studio album to be nominated
January 20, 20223 yr Voting for the 4 genre is open now on TikTok. Results are gonna be a bit skewed if people all over the world can vote.
January 20, 20223 yr Author My predictions for those voted categories: Pop: Adele Dance: Calvin Harris Rock/Alt: Sam Fender Hip-Hop/Grime: Dave Though I suppose it'll depend who promotes it the most!
