It's roughly about 6 months ago now since the last brit awards, and the majority of the winners had already released music of had their 'hits' by this time last year. I have to say I think it's been one of the worst years in music for a long time, and even worse for british music.

So early predictions? Here's mine, although there not who I think should win necessarily

British Male - Tinie Tempah or possibly Dizzee Rascal again
British Female - Ellie Golding, possibly Diana or Eliza
British Group - Plan B for certain I think
British Live Act - hmm not sure really
British Breakthrough Act - voted by public, so The Wanted
British Single - JLS/The Wanted
Mastercard British Album - Plan B again
International Male - Jason Derulo, maybe Owl City
International Female - Lady GaGa again, maybe Katy Perry
International Group - Pendulum

You can add Critics Choice and Outstanding Contribution if you want but its not really easy to predict them

I'll say people i think may be nominated:

British Male - Tinie Tempah, Dizzee Rascal, Plan B
British Female - Pixie Lott, Diana Vickers, Eliza Doolittle (My god this is a bad category this year)
British Group - Scouting For Girls, Biffy Clyro, The xx (are they British?), Mumford & Sons, The Wanted
British Live Act - God knows.
British Breakthrough Act - Professor Green, Tinie Tempah, Plan B, The Wanted
British Single - Tinie Tempah - Pass Out.. can't think of anymore?
Mastercard British Album - Don't know.
International Male - Eminem,
International Female - Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Rihanna.
International Group - Don't know.

All in all a very poor bunch of nominations which is a shame. Can't think of anything better though.

Jesus, thinking about the potential nominees makes it seem like such a poor year for British music

I'd say Lady GaGa, Tinie Tempah and Jason Derulo will be big winners. The Wanted/JLS will win anything voted for by the public.

British Male -Plan B
British Female - Corinne Bailey Rae
British Group - Mumford & Sons
British Live Act - Take That
British Breakthrough Act - Eliza Doolittle
British Single - Pack Up (Eliza Doolittle)
Mastercard British Album - The Sea (Corinne Bailey Rae)
International Male - Jason Derulo
International Female - Katy Perry
International Group - Scissor Sisters

Admittedly I think some of the winners are highly unlikely (Single/Live Act /Album in particular) but it's hard to think of others...

There was no best live act category last year.

But if its reinstated this year, Leona has to be odds on for it.

The new Take That album will make them eligible for British Album, Group and Single. Could they also get lifetime achievement??

Agreed....and Robbie and/or Take That will probably win some specially-created award:yawn:

btw one artist who should have got the lifetime achievement award years ago, Kate Bush, refused to accept it, as it would have meant actually turning up and putting in a live performance

British Live Act - without a doubt Will Young! He played to about 100,000 this summer alone and has not had a single bad review! He was phenomenal! The gig I went to was sold out - 10,000 people there. 15,000 watched him last year at the Isle of Wight Festival. Nuff said!

Dizzee won't win again. The fact he hasn't release a new album and is still a continuation of an era he was nominated for last year.

Plan b will probs win best male. Maybe best british album. Probs be up for best newcomer. I hope eliza wins best female or best newcomer. I reckon ellie and marina will be nominated but i don't reckon they will win. Maybe Diana vickers as well for best newcomer but won't win

Katy perry or Kesha for best international. Lady gaga won't be able to win another year in a row and Rihanna was nominated last year anyway for it so can't be nominated again plus Katy perry and Kesha has been the only decent american females to grace the charts.

Eminem for best internation male. Maybe best international album as well. JLS for best group or maybe scouting for girls.

Yeah we gotta have a live performance!

Did you watch her perform it live at the Sunday Show? The reactions were hilarious; watch this video from 1:28 onwards to see the reactions.

Looking at chart success and album sales, people like Ellie Goulding and Diana Vickers do not deserve to be anywhere near a brit award.
