There's often a couple of 'definitely not alternative' artists on the list; and the winner hasn't often gone to the most commercial looking artists anyway. Would have hoped for Gorillaz but with their history with the award wouldn't have expected them there.

    Huuuge for JADE! So, so proud of her. Won’t happen in a million years but seeing her win would be a huge moment. Happy for her no matter what as I never expected even a nomination!

    Suede. That’s it. That’s the post.

A very bland, uninspiring list, a lot of these feel like they’re there just on name alone, I really don’t think this reflects the most culturally and critically acclaimed music of the last 12 months as a whole, a great feat for Jade though.

    looking forward to JADE performing Angel Of My Dreams tonight (though I don't think she's that likely to win - Olivia, RAYE, Dove Ellis or Nia Archives would be my guesses as to what the judges'd pick fwiw)

    What

    not that surprising tbf, a lot of the British critics really liked it and her last album was nominated too! (though I'dve picked Olivia, Nia Archives, Dave or JADE over it)

    Edited by maggotsforbrains

    Oh wow. Was so sure it was going to Olivia and kinda hoping it wasn't as its already won so much. So happy for Raye

    RAYE’s album was not for me, oops.

    Anyway I’m here to gas up THAT performance by JADE! My GAHD!

    (Also really liked the Nia Archives stuff I heard throughout so might delve further into that album!)
