2012 Brit Awards

[Shaun]

Blur are set to be honoured at next year's Brit Awards for their outstanding contribution to music.

It comes 21 years after their debut and 17 years since they won four Brits off the back of their Parklife album.

"It's great to have recognition for all the work and all the heartache and all the joy that's gone into this band," said frontman Damon Albarn.

The four-piece briefly reformed in summer 2009 but chose to disband after a series of high profile outdoor shows.

Blur will receive the award at the Brits ceremony in February, held at London's 02 arena.

There has so far been no comment on whether the band will perform on the night.

Guitarist Graham Coxon said the band had not changed over the years.

"Being in a band this long is like a kind of time travel," he said.

"We're the same gang we ever were, we've just landed in a different era.

"Or possibly we're a totally different Blur still playing the old tunes in 1991 forever. I haven't decided.

"But it's always nice to get a Brit Award," added Coxon.

The band's only previous success at the awards was in 1995 when - at the height of the Britpop boom - they picked up best album, best single, best video and best group.

Previous winners of the outstanding contribution award include Sir Paul McCartney, Paul Weller and Oasis.

This year's Brit Awards statue has been designed by Sir Peter Blake. The artist is also known for his collage cover for The Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album.

Blur reformed for a series of performances in 2009, including two shows at Hyde Park in London and a headline slot at Glastonbury.

Despite rumours of new recordings, the band called a halt to the reunion at the end of the summer.

The full list of Brit Awards nominations is due to be announced on 12 January at London's Savoy Hotel.

Not sure about the trophy. I think there should be more gold on it.

[Niamh.]

I hate that trophy, It looks like it's made out of empty beer cans :/

Great news about Blur though :love:

ABOUT ****ING TIME.

Much deserved.

The shortlist for the critics' choice award at next year's Brit Awards have been announced.

Emeli Sande, Maverick Sabre and Michael Kiwanuka are all nominated in the category.

The award is given to an artist or group who music critics think will be most successful act in the coming year.

Previous winners include Adele, Jessie J, Ellie Goulding and Florence and the Machine.

If Emeli Sande wins, it will be the fifth year in a row that the trophy has been awarded to a female artist.

The nominees are chosen by music industry experts including figures from radio, television and music magazines.

To qualify for the award, artists must be due to release their debut album in 2012.

The winner will be revealed on Thursday 15 December.

Emeli Sande has already had chart success in the UK with solo singles Heaven and Daddy.

She topped the singles chart last month with Read All About It, a collaboration with Professor Green.

Her debut album, Our Version Of Events, is due to be released in February.

Maverick Sabre scored top 20 hits earlier this year with his singles Let Me Go and I Need.

The singer tweeted that he was "delighted" to be nominated for the award.

London soul singer Michael Kiwanuka has been compared to Otis Reading and Bill Withers and has previously supported Adele on tour.

He was also recently nominated for the BBC Sound of 2012 poll.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that Blur will receive the outstanding contribution award at the ceremony.

The Brit Awards take place in London on 21 February.

Emile Sande's won it:

Scottish singer-songwriter Emeli Sande has won the Brits Critics Choice award, which rewards up-and-coming talent.

The 24-year-old, who gave up medicine to pursue her career in music, has already scored hits with solo singles Heaven and Daddy.

She also appeared on Professor Green's number one hit Read All About It, and is currently supporting label mates Coldplay on their European tour.

Sande will pick up her prize at the Brits ceremony on 21 February, 2012.

Previous winners of the critics choice award include Adele, Jessie J and Florence And The Machine.

Sande, whose full name is Adele Emily Sande, was born in Alford, Aberdeenshire, and is instantly recognisable by her peroxide blonde quiff.

She was a fourth year medical student in Glasgow when, while vacuuming her bedroom, she wrote the hook for a song called Diamond Rings and gave it to rapper Chipmunk.

Released as a single, with Sande on guest vocals, it became a top 10 hit and EMI handed her a publishing deal.

Speaking to Radio 1's Newsbeat earlier this year, she said it had been hard to give up her degree.

"It was a massive crossroads. It was the first massive risk I took."

"On the medical school course I had seen people who'd dreamed of being doctors since they were four as I had dreamt of doing music since that age - that was my inspiration."

Having left university, she made her living writing tracks for the likes of Cher Lloyd, Susan Boyle and Cheryl Cole.

She also continued to work as a featured artist, recording with urban stars such as Tinie Tempah, Wiley and Professor Green - who took her to number one on his single Read All About It.

Sande's own demo recordings surfaced earlier this year and by late August, she had scored her first solo hit with Heaven, a gospel-tinged R&B song, propelled by clattering 1990s drum loops.

Citing influences such as Joni Mitchell, Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone, she plans to release her debut album, Our Version Of Events, in February.

Sande was chosen for the Brit award by a panel of music experts, who narrowed down an initial shortlist of more than 100 acts.

"To win a Brit Award so early in my career is beyond a dream come true," she said.

"I am overwhelmed to be the recipient of such a prestigious award."

Second place went to soulful rapper Maverick Sabre, while singer-songwriter Michael Kiwanuka came third.

Good old Heskey, about time

[Black Dagger]

I didn't like all three artists, so it was a 'best of the worst for me'

Well done Emeli.

...

Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran is leading the charge at this year's Brit Awards, with four nominations.

The 20-year-old is up for best male, breakthrough act, best single for The A Team, and best album for his debut record, which is called +.

Pop star Jessie J is up for three awards - best female, breakthrough act and best single for her hit Price Tag.

Organisers have also announced that Adele will perform live at this year's ceremony next month.

It will be her first confirmed live performance since recovering from throat surgery.

The singer is also nominated in three categories - best female, best single for Someone Like You and best album for 21.

Sheeran told the BBC he was "ecstatic, really happy and pleased" to be recognised at this year's awards.

He will go up against James Blake, James Morrison, Professor Green and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds in the best male category.

Professor Green, who has received his first Brit nomination, told the BBC: "I've been sat at a [Brits] table three times. This will be my fourth time, so it's nice to be nominated."

The best album category will see Sheeran and Adele compete with Coldplay for Mylo Xyloto, Florence and the Machine for Ceremonials and PJ Harvey's Mercury Prize-winning Let England Shake.

Sheeran said: "I think any artist would really want to win the best album award - but to be honest I think Adele will win that one."

Jessie J, who was awarded the Brits Critics' Choice prize for 2011 told the BBC she "would never have imagined this last year".

"I remember sitting at the table and thinking, next year I want to be voted best female. Even if I don't win, it's just being nominated and the feeling of that."

Also in the best female category are Adele, Florence and the Machine, Kate Bush and last year's winner Laura Marling.

The star, whose real name is Jessica Cornish, admitted she would be facing stiff competition in some of the categories.

"Award ceremonies aren't fun if the competition isn't tough," she said. "The standard of British music is so big right now that whoever wins deserves it."

Coldplay have a second nomination for best group, along with Chase and Status, Arctic Monkeys, Elbow and Kasabian.

Ten tracks are up for best single, including Example's Changed The Way You Kissed Me, One Direction's What Makes You Beautiful and The Military Wives' number one, Wherever You Are.

The four international categories also see two nominations for Aloe Blacc as well as nods for Bruno Mars, Beyonce, Rihanna, Foo Fighters and Maroon 5.

Scottish singer-songwriter Emeli Sande has already been announced as the recipient of this year's Critics Choice award, which recognises up-and-coming talent.

She was presented her Brit trophy - designed by Sir Peter Blake - by Jessie J at Thursday's nominations launch event at London's Savoy Hotel.

The singer is also nominated for breakthrough act along with Sheeran, Jessie J, Anna Calvi and The Vaccines.

In a year when the music press has bemoaned the lack of new British rock bands breaking into the mainstream, The Vaccines told the BBC their nomination was proof it was possible for guitar bands.

"We've connected with people on a vast mainstream level," they said.

"Just to be included in this and to be recognised as a band who have had a successful year is vindication."

The main prizes - including a lifetime achievement prize for Britpop band Blur - will be handed out at the O2 Arena on 21 February.

Appalling set of singles as usual, hopefully Someone Like You will win that.

[Doogle]

She Makes Me Wanna? I'm sorry what.

[Brother Leon]

How are Jessie J and Niki Minaj still breakthrough acts?

[Black Dagger]

She Makes Me Wanna? I'm sorry what.

It'll win as well, their fans are jizzing their pants currently on Twitter about how it was the best 2011 song and it'll win by a land-slide.

Bon Iver for International Breakthrough as well, they have been around ages, uneducated ******** :bored:

[Shaun]

I don't think the Brits have researched Bon Iver at all - they're a band, and debuted in 2008 :/

[Black Dagger]

I don't think the Brits have researched Bon Iver at all - they're a band, and debuted in 2008 :/

I hope they win and are all like 'do these people know who we are'...

Hope Noel Gallagher and Kasabian win their awards.

And great news about Blur!

Miles Kane should be in the breakthrough acts, but they don't have a clue.

BOLD: Who I want to win, certainly not who will win.

[Samuel.]

The Brit awards are a joke anyway.

[Shaun]

Live performances:

Adele is set to make her UK live comeback at the 2012 Brit Awards ceremony.

The announcement was made at the Brits 2012 launch event this evening (January 12) at the Savoy Hotel in Central London. Noel Gallagher, Coldplay, Rihanna, Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran all also confirmed to perform live at the ceremony, which takes place February 21 at London's O2 Arena. It is also rumoured that Adele will sing at the Grammy's ceremony in Los Angeles on February 12.

The '21' singer went under the knife to have vocal chord microsurgery in America last year, in order to stop recurrent bleeding from a benign polyp. Her condition had forced her to cancel all of her remaining live dates of 2011, as she scrapped 10 scheduled dates in North America and six shows in the UK in order to have the surgery.

At the Brits launch event, Jessie J awarded Emeli Sande with the Brits Critics' Choice gong for 2012. Jessie J - who is up for three awards in total - revealed that she will be shaving her head for charity in the coming months. She also said she is working on her second album, an experience which she called "daunting".

Both Emeli Sande and Ed Sheeran performed at the launch event. Sheeran is up for a total of four Brits awards.

Brits 2012 host James Cordon also made an appearance at the Savoy and revealed that he had once stolen a Brit Award belonging to 1990s singer Lisa Stansfield and still had it at home.

This... <3. I think I cried when I found out they won two brit awards and the main Grammy in the space of 24 hours.

So sad :p.

[Stu]

It was depressing because of how awful, unmemorable and shamelessly pretentious The Suburbs was.

I don't know, man. It sounded like I should have loved it but it felt like I was missing some thing in my brain that would enable me to enjoy it. I'm not sure if I should blame myself or the band. I just found it so unengaging.

In retrospect Neon Bible is a load of **** as well. Funeral is Arcade Fire. They hit it perfect on the first go.

Most of these nominees are nobodies. Our music must be completely awful if s**t like The Military Wives are nominated for best single :bored:

[LaLaLand]

Are they doing the same as last year where the critics decide or whatever they did, emphasis on music wasn't it? Hence why Laura Marling and Arcade Fire won and stuff?

Hope so.

Lana Del Rey needs to win also. How Nicki Minaj is a breakthrough act is beyond me.

:worship: what a fabulous 48 hours was, the recognition Arcade Fire got in those hours almost made my 2011 perfect.

[Jords]

I didnt like The Suburbs first play but I didnt give it my full attention. The actual suburb-theme put me off a bit Im not sure why. But then I remember hearing Ready To Start and thinking WHO SINGS THIS? And it turned out Arcade Fire which probed me to play the album again and its good, really good :love:

[Z]

In Ed Sheeran's defence, he worked very hard to build up a following by touring the country all the time and sleeping on couches, I think I read somewhere that he didn't have a permanent residence for quite some time (not sure if this is still the case) and I think his songwriting is simple but that's part of the charm. I was trying to get people to listen to the few songs of his I'd heard quite a long time before The A Team hit radios and in that time got a bit sick of him myself, I don't think his music is made for repetitive listening like the generic Pitbull ft. Nicki Minaj-esque dance dross that we get every week it seems...

They never really get it right. As much as I love to bitch about them, I do think it's a shame that The Saturdays didn't even get so much as a nomination when their equally **** peers The Wanted, JLS etc are all getting nominations for just as shoddy efforts.

[Shaun]

I think the singles are the top 10 selling singles of the year, I may be wrong though

[Callum]

Tonight 8PM ITV1 :spin2:

Only performer I'm looking forward to really is Adele. I hope she performs Set Fire to the Rain and it gets her another #1 over here.

[Black Dagger]

Only really looking forward to Coldplay performing and Florence performing.

I bet the awards go to people I couldn't give two ****s about, I hope Bon beats Nicki again, that'd please me.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Looking forward to Rihanna's performance, although I really hope its not We Found Love

[Brother Leon]

No Tinie or Wretch nominated?



I'm out.

[Shaun]

Tinie was 2010...

[Black Dagger]

Tinie and Arcade Fire secured the most awards last year.

Yeah Wretch was a tad snubbed, considering the male nominations.

[Jordan.]

Adele best perform something new, anyone would think her album only had two songs on it.

[InOne]

Should be good this year. A little less urban.

[Niall]

Björk had better win best international female. :suspect:

Not since this whole Christ Brown palava happened. Oh and the excessive overexposure she's subjected herself to in the past two years hasn't helped either. :nono:

I still love her music but tbh, she has little input with that anyway. She's such a **** now. :bored:

[Roy Mars III]

hopefully James Blake, The Throne and Bon Iver win their categories, the only noms i really care about tbh

Glad Rihanna won an award:D.

I liked that 1D song, so am actually glad it beat Adele because SLY really annoys me now and it would be so boring if she won everything, not that she will care about not winning that award but people will moan about her not getting it:joker:.

[Smithy]

Oh just hurry up and get Rihanna on stage :idc:

Adele is boring me. :bored:

[Me. I Am Salman]

The voiceover lady sounds boring and a half

[Maia]

This buffering advert :joker:

[Callum]

She should have done Set Fire, it would have probaly got her another #1. Her team are idiots.

[Harry!]

Adele should have performed something else, as much as I love the song it is boring now.

[Me. I Am Salman]

What is it with all these buffering ads lol

[GypsyGoth]

They look old.

[Me. I Am Salman]

[Me. I Am Salman]

Why oh why are all these performances of songs from 2010 :bored:

[Glenn.]

:bored:

This version of the song is ****e.

[Callum]

They're all performing old songs :bored:

[Me. I Am Salman]

I prefer this version of the song, just don't like the fact that he's performing it in 2012 :suspect:

[Me. I Am Salman]

Florence and the machine bores me

[Me. I Am Salman]

Are they even old enough to drink :bored:
Oh it's just squash

[Maia]

Ew get these horrible creatures off my screen

[Callum]

This Brits has been very disappointing so far :idc:

[GypsyGoth]

Yea, I think there are too many award shows this time of year, and there's still the oscars to come.

[Maia]

Yea, I think there are too many award shows this time of year, and there's still the oscars to come.

Isn't it like Awards Season or something though?

[GypsyGoth]

Isn't it like Awards Season or something though?

Yea, but if we had the Brits on another time, they'd stand out more :D

[Callum]

The Brits should be later on in the year, Autumn time or late Summer.

[Maia]

Yea, but if we had the Brits on another time, they'd stand out more :D

Hm yeah they would, although I always get excited for February because I know it's the Brit Awards month :laugh:

[Black Dagger]

Ed Sheeran and Rihanna need to **** off :bored:

A poor Brit awards for me, only cared for Coldplay/Florence/Noel performing. The winners as well :idc:
