I agree:
They have nominated 1D because of their great sales & the fact that they are hard to ignore, but I don't think they have ever been considered as real contenders in this category. i like to think they were contenders last year...

Not going to happen. They are the outsiders in the group. Can't call this, but definitely not 1D. Three of those groups were nominated for the Mercury award I believe.

With Best British Single I always thought it was fan voted. I'm a bit annoyed that it's One Way Or Another instead of Story Of My Life. I think it would've been better to have an original song as opposed to a cover. Plus the receptions the two songs received are on different ends of the spectrum obviously with SOML doing superb. (I know OWOA went to number 1 but outside of the fanbase a lot of people didn't like the cover).
Shame SOML isn't nominated, I'd even have preferred they'd chosen BSE instead of OWOA. Even though I like OWOA, soooo many people loathe that song and I don't want to imagine the hate they'd get if they won an award for it (which is very possible, if it's fan-voted, regardless of the actual song...) :S |

I also think Best British Single is fan voted, at least it's always been.

The Mastercard award is the best album one (http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showp...91&postcount=1), aren't the sponsored ones the fan voted ones usually?
Here's an article about these other two awards they might win that have been mentioned here: http://metro.co.uk/2014/01/09/one-di...eiled-4256482/ Don't know whether there will be another Global Success Award though... Thought it might have been a one-off thing last year to get One Direction at least one award ![]() By the way, I found out the Best British Single Award nominations are solely based on sales in 2013. Like it or not, but OWOA was their biggest selling song in 2013 (474k sold, 8th highest selling British Single). SOML "only" sold 347k, BSE did 328k. |

Here's an acoustic version of Happily.
![]() http://impeccabletasteinmusic.tumblr...tic-remixed-by I really liked it. It shows that Louis' voice is the main vocal throughout the first chorus and then Niall's on the second which I hadn't even realised to be honest. |

nowadays, i open MM straight to "strong" as i love the sequence "strong", "happily", "right now", (sometimes skip LBD,
)"through the dark" and "something great"... then everything is on repeat so the next cycle starts with BSE as it should... ![]() the song i catch myself singing-along to the loudest and with more emotion is "something great", followed by "happily" ![]() ![]()

If I can't help dancing on a song, it's usually a sign I am hooked ![]() Tbh, I think I tend to start the album at either Diana or SOML depending on my mood (& I have heard SOML much more than the rest of the album)... Least played song Little Black Dress for me too

Sorry I hated it, It sounded like a shouty mess
The vocals go well with the song as it is on the album, but this accoustic version isn't to my liking either .
