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

Mumford will beat them and then get death threats.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

:worship:

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.

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

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)

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

Jessie Ware please.

Were you not impressed with the tracks?

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.

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:

Beyonce is rumoured to perform

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