[Mrluvaluva]

Amy Winehouse is up for a posthumous Brit award after being nominated in the best British female category.

The late singer, who died 17 months ago as the result of a drinking binge, previously took the title in 2007 following the release of her Back To Black album.

She is eligible for a nomination as a result of the release of her Lioness: Hidden Treasures album and is understood to be the first artist to be included posthumously.

I would be very surprised if best female was not awarded to Amy Winehouse.

[Harry!]

Interesting nominees, Madonna snobbed by awards again in the international Female Act category!

[Marc]

We all know One Direction will win, let me clarify.. I don't want them to win.. I just know they will

[Black Dagger]

Mumford will beat them and then get death threats.

[Mrluvaluva]

Shame The Wanted are not in the same category. :idc:

[Princess]

We all know One Direction will win, let me clarify.. I don't want them to win.. I just know they will

They might not do since it's not a public vote. The only Brit Awards Take That ever won, besides the one they got two years ago, were all public voted.

[Shaun]

I think the only fan-voted category is the Best Single, and even then the nominees are just the top-selling songs of the year

[Black Dagger]

I think breakthrough was definitely viewer voted a few years ago, I remember getting mad at JLS beating Friendly Fires because their fans were voting like every 20 seconds :idc:

Oh wait. It was international breakthrough in 2011 for some reason. Bieber won it.

[Marc]

They might not do since it's not a public vote. The only Brit Awards Take That ever won, besides the one they got two years ago, were all public voted.

They've done ridiculously well and it's not just based on public perception.

[Black Dagger]

Yeah best group will either go to 1D or Mumford.

I didn't realise how popular Mumford were in the US until they got the most Grammy noms.

[Brother Leon]

Why shouldn't 1D win though?

They've had as good a year as anyone. The nominations in the first place usually go to people who done well rather than "critically acclaimed" music, so no point of turning our noses at them winning.

[Marc]

Exactly, I dislike them and I don't want to listen to their music but give credit to where it's due in some respect, they've become something humongous and they deserve some awards for it.

[Me. I Am Salman]

no they don't deserve to win because the majority of their success is down to their "looks"

[Maia]

I think breakthrough was definitely viewer voted a few years ago, I remember getting mad at JLS beating Friendly Fires because their fans were voting like every 20 seconds :idc:

Oh wait. It was international breakthrough in 2011 for some reason. Bieber won it.

Yes I remember that as well, I wanted Pixie to win that year and when she didn't I let rip :idc:

[Maia]

no they don't deserve to win because the majority of their success is down to their "looks"

:worship:

[Brother Leon]

no they don't deserve to win because the majority of their success is down to their "looks"

There are very few superstars who are a success due to their actual talent though. Even ones who may be talented blew up due to other reasons. Nothing new.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Well it's only the case with One Direction on that list so they better not win it.

[Shaun]

1D's success wasn't as strong as Mumford's though... Mumford had the best-selling album in the US (until Taylor came along :p)

[Mrluvaluva]

Has anyone else had an email from Universal with the free EP downloads?

http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/avulavulrm/download.jpg

:amazed:

[Joelle.]

British Male - Calvin Harris (why would they even consider nominating Murs ugh :bored:)

British Female - Paloma Faith (will obviously be Sande though)

British Breakthrough - Jessie Ware (Ora will though)

British Group - Muse (just not 1D so help me god...)

British Live Act - Rolling Stones (Coldplay have flashy wristbands... :bored:)

International Female - Alicia Keys (If Ri gets it again I'm putting kebab skewers through my ear drums)

International Male - Frank Ocean (Gotye? Pfft...)

International Group - The Black Keys (The Script? International? :joker:)

British Producer - Paul Hepworth (think he did something with Adele?)

MasterCard British Album - Fall To Grace (again we all know who's getting it)

British Single - Skyfall or Spectrum (either way this category has as much musical viability as Russell Crowe in the shower. Rudimental... just why? :conf:)

[Shaun]

yeah I had that email Baz :conf2:

[reece(:]

Jessie Ware please.

[Mrluvaluva]

yeah I had that email Baz :conf2:

Were you not impressed with the tracks?

[Shaun]

no I was just confused by them emailing me LOL
I've heard the Mercury and the Polydor ones, and liked all of the Polydor ones :love: especially Imagine Dragons and Rhye. Haven't heard the Deccas or Islands yet.

[Mrluvaluva]

The Island one is good too. The Polydor one will not all download properly for me. Ellie Goulding and a couple of the others will not play. I am not bothering with the Decca one. :laugh:

[Shaun]

Beyonce is rumoured to perform

[Black Dagger]

She shouldn't bother, she'll only be overshadowed by Ben Howard xo.

[Shaun]

it's just occurred to me there's no 'Outstanding Contribution to British Music' award this year...

and the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Kate Bush, the Clash, the Cure, Depeche Mode, Joy Division, New Order, Radiohead, Pink Floyd and the Smiths still haven't had an inauguration in that...

and the Spice Girls have...

[Shaun]

*flies off into a blind rage*

[Harry!]

The Outstanding Contribution to British Music award has been dropped this year and instead an award will be given to a charity which deserves special recognition.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Glad that award is no longer on, **** people always win

[Saph]

Is it true that Rupauls the presenter?

[Saph]

I just checked, its presented by James Cordon again :bored:

[Me. I Am Salman]

RuPaul >

[Saph]

RuPaul >

.

[Shaun]

Justin Timberlake is now being rumoured to perform...

[Black Dagger]

Decent enough performers tbh.

Looking forward to Mumford, Ben and JT.

[Black Dagger]

Glad that award is no longer on, **** people always win

Pet Shop Boys are not ****!!!

In fact, I've loved them all pretty much bar Robbie.

[Gstar]

Beyonce will be on this next year and will win the international award.
