And I still think it's ridiculous they got rid of Best International Album.
Surely they can't have Rihanna winning International Female again?? I hope Lana Del Rey gets it.
Calvin Harris for Best Male I reckon.
Laura Marling. That is all.
Emeli Sande will get two or three nominations I think. Labrinth, Calvin Harris and Lana Del Rey will probably do quite well. Marina deserves a couple of nominations too. But I hope Rita Ora doesn't win anything.
I'm hoping for a nomination for her too, and tbh, Emeli deserves it - she's huge atm! Also, Lana Del Rey deserves so much recognition - she's far superior to Rihanna! And Calvin Harris is surely deserving of a nomination?
Rita Ora deserves nothing. I really hope she doesn't even get a nomination - she doesn't write her own material and isn't that great a singer while other artists who do all the work don't get any recognition!
Usually they're obvious!
Hope Keane can get a mention somewhere, and maybe they can let Plan B win something?
Laura Marling won best female a few years ago so it could well happen for Marina too!

I've highlighted the ones that I want to win however that doesn't mean that I think they will win - I would also like to see the following perform
P!nk: Blow Me (One Last Kiss)
Florence and the Machine ft. Calvin Harris: Spectrum
Ellie Goulding: Anything Could Happen
Emeli Sande: Heaven
Rebecca Ferguson: Teach Me How To Be Loved
Fun: We Are Young
Paloma Faith: Never Tear Us Apart
Final performance: Girls Aloud (medley of greatest hits)
Agreed! Her album is classic and her voice is stunning, I think she needs a singing spot as well to get her more recognition a la Adele 'Someone Like You'
Hoping there's something for Ben Howard, Jessie Ware and Lianne La Havas.
I love the BRITS

Also I think I read that to be eligible for nomination the act must have released an album in the previous year, i.e. for the 2013 ceremony only artists that released albums in 2012 will count. As far as I am aware deluxe versions and greatest hits don't count. However, to be nominated for Best Single, only the single has to be released in 2012, even if the album was released in 2011.
Fat chance of any of that happening!
