Post Six: Brit Awards 2012 - Predictions

Here are some 'predictions' for tonight's Brit Awards...

British Male Solo Artist
Nominees:
Ed Sheeran, James Blake, James Morrison, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Professor Green

Who I want to win: Professor Green
Who I think will win: Ed Sheeran. Yawn

British Female Solo Artist
Nominees:
Adele, Florence & The Machine, Jessie J, Kate Bush, Laura Marling

Who I want to win: I'm gonna have to say Florence here
Who I think will win: Adele

British Breakthrough Act
Nominees:
Anna Calvi, Ed Sheeran, Emili Sandé, Jessie J, The Vaccines

Who I want to win: None of them, it's a terrible batch of nominees.
Who I think will win: Jessie J

British Group
Nominees:
Arctic Monkeys, Chase & Status, Coldplay, Elbow, Kasabian

Who I want to win: Chase & Status
Who I think will win: Kasabian (even though they aren't performing this year??)

British Single
Nominees:

Adele - 'Someone Like You'
Ed Sheeran - 'The A Team'
Example - 'Changed The Way You Kissed Me'
Jessie J ft. Bob - 'Price Tag'
Military Wives / Gareth Malone - 'Wherever You Are'
Olly Murs ft. Rizzle Kicks - 'Heart Skips A Beat'
One Direction - 'What Makes You Beautiful'
Pixie Lott - 'All About Tonight'
The Wanted - 'Glad You Came'

Who I want to win: Example
Who I think will win: One Direction, especially as this was a public vote. 1D have some awful fans who've clogged up Twitter's trending topics (#vote1DBrits etc etc) for the last few weeks, so I imagine they'll get their way.

MasterCard British Album
Nominees:

Adele - 21
Coldplay - Mylo Xyloto
Ed Sheeran - +
Florence & The Machine - Ceremonials
PJ Harvey - Let England Shake

Who I want to win: I'm not especially fond of any of the nominated records (maybe F&TM at a push), but I'd like PJ Harvey to have the whole 'winning the Mercury Prize and Brit Award' 'thing'.
Who I think will win: Adele

International Male Solo Artist
Nominees:
Aloe Blacc, Bon Iver, Bruno Mars, David Guetta, Ryan Adams

Who I want to win: Not fussed, the International Male award has for a long time been awful, this year is no different.
Who I think will win: Bruno Mars

International Female Solo Artist
Nominees:
Beyoncé, Björk, Feist, Lady Gaga, Rihanna

Who I want to win: Beyoncé, really enjoyed her headline set at Glastonbury last year.
Who I think will win: Rihanna

International Group
Nominees:
Fleet Foxes, Foo Fighters, Jay-Z / Kanye West, Lady Antebellum, Maroon 5

Who I want to win: If there's any justice from these awards, it'll be a win for Jay-Z and Kanye
Who I think will win: Maroon 5

International Breakthrough Act
Nominees:
Aloe Blacc, Bon Iver, Foster The People, Lana Del Rey, Nicki Minaj

Who I want to win: Bon Iver, even if it means everyone on Twitter moaning / asking who he is (eg what happened when Arcade Fire won 2 Brits last year).
Who I think will win: Lizzie Grant (aka Lana Del Rey)

In an ideal world, Ed Sheeran, Adele and One Direction would be leaving empty-handed tonight. Sadly the Brit awards are being hosted at the O2 Arena instead of in my utopian daydream where Sheeran is still playing gigs in empty pubs.
