Do you mean Klaxons?

I agree with you btw.

It is possible for Leonazilla to take all four, she's suprised us in the past! But I think the competition is in the Best Album and Best Single. It all depends on who is voting really.

Album will go to Mika. The rest she can win, 800,000 people bought BL, millions voted for her online in other awards. Her fanbase is bigger than Take thats now.

Yeah, I think it's likely album will go to Mika.

I borrowed the album from a friend .. didn't like it

Who decides the album, i dont think she will get it if the critics do as its probably not as critically acclaimed as some of the other nominations.

I think:
best female
breakthrough artist
best single

Aww Leona not performing.

Quote:
“Six of The BRIT Award performers confirmed

The acts announced today performing live at The BRIT Awards 2008 with MasterCard are:

KAISER CHIEFS After picking up three awards at The BRIT Awards with MasterCard 2006 and nominated for a further three at this year’s event, the Kaisers return for what is bound to be a show-stopping performance.

KYLIE One of the most exciting pop acts in the World, Kylie Minogue made a comeback in 2007 with her tenth studio album X, an electro odyssey that further confirmed Kylie’s status as the Queen of Pop.

MARK RONSON Scoring three nominations at this year’s BRIT Awards alongside Arctic Monkeys and Kaiser Chiefs, Mark Ronson’s second album Version garnered major success in 2007 debuting at number two in the UK charts.

MIKA Like Take That and Leona Lewis, Mika is nominated for a mighty four awards at this year’s BRITs. A truly breakthrough artist for 2007, he stormed the UK charts with his chart topping debut album Life In Cartoon Motion.

RIHANNA Her record breaking hit single Umbrella stayed at the top of the UK charts for a stunning 10 weeks, this year Rihanna is nominated in the International Female Solo Artist category.

The previously announced winner of the Outstanding Contribution to Music Award, Sir PAUL McCARTNEY will also be taking to The BRITs stage for a very special performance.

The BRIT Awards with MasterCard take place on 20th February 2008, at Earls Court, the event will be broadcast LIVE on ITV1.

If the Arctic Monkey's win it I will be shocked. The album was worse than Mika's (and thats saying something

)

Oh I don't read the comments anymore, far too predictable.

Anyone else worried about Leona actually attending? If she was going, surely she could perform. She needs to take time out from whatever she is doing in the US for that night.
