They were desperate for British females so i am surprised they didnt push Adele as she had more success then Goulding this year

I pray Sia wins but she always seems to be shunned at events like this

The Brits are pretty emblematic of the "win if you show up" idea so that's probably why

Then again they're fond of giving awards to whoever agrees to perform, which Emeli is.

*war flashbacks to when they gave Paloma Faith an award in 2014 over fka twigs, as if Paloma didn't peak in 2009*

They gave it to Bjork last year (i think) and she wasnt there so there is hope

International Female is the most wide-open really. Doubt any of the 5 are attending.

I'm happy as long as Sia doesn't win. So Sia will win.

i hope it does not descend in to a mawkish mire of GM and DB

i fear it will

I could see them giving it to someone who they feel needs a boost in Britian so maybe that Christine girl

I can see Skepta causing a upset to beat Bowie

Christine's attending so that probably makes her more likely

Won't be anything for DB since they did a tribute last year (Lorde doing Life on Mars)

Think it's just Coldplay doing George Michael. Which he'd have wanted, because Guy Martin is quite fit.

According to the Sun there will be a tribute to Bowie but that doesnt exactly mean a song

Skepta to do an Adele and rip his Brit in half if he wins Male/Album?

I am surprised they axed best international album tbh seeing as most hit albums are from foreigners

#brexit

They'd only have given it to 24K Magic, so perhaps it's a blessing in disguise

It has been gone a few years

I just hate the fact 1D will win best single when it is the worst one nominated

Predictions
BRITISH MALE SOLO ARTIST: David Bowie
BRITISH FEMALE SOLO ARTIST: Emeli Sandé
BRITISH GROUP: The 1975
BRITISH BREAKTHROUGH ACT: Skepta

MASTERCARD BRITISH ALBUM OF THE YEAR: David Bowie – Blackstar
BRITISH ARTIST VIDEO OF THE YEAR: One Direction – History
INTERNATIONAL MALE SOLO ARTIST: Drake
INTERNATIONAL FEMALE SOLO ARTIST: Beyonce
INTERNATIONAL GROUP: Twenty One Pilots

Is single fan-voted? I thought it was just Video.

Either way, Tinie Tempah's is the worst song nominated. For both.

There are 2 viewer votes and i think it is Single and Viewer

Oh it was breakthrough not single

This is the voting update for best video a few days ago.

Only the top 5 are still in the running

how on earth can emile sande win anything when she just literally released one mediocre song in the last 12 months?
