I think that Lady Gaga, & Florence and The Machine will do well next year, as I think there sound is more aesthetically pleasing, and both have great tunes and Lady Gaga has had big success so far.

I'll have a listen to them. I only know Gaga. *shameful*

[MrGaryy]

Oh I have heard of Florence and the Machine! I love Kiss With a Fist!
