It’s Brit Awards time! I’ve posted the noms, and now it’s time to predict some winners before the announcement this evening (UK time)…
British male solo artist
Toughest category here, with the like os Jamie T, Mark Ronson, Mika and Newton Faulkner. While I loved Ronson’s album Version, I’m picking Jamit T for this one.
British group
Arctic Monkeys won last year, and are nominated again this year- but I’m picking Editors
British Breakthrough
Kate Nash, Kate Nash, Kate Nash!
British live act
I think Muse should get this award two years running.
British single
I’m split on this one:
Mark Ronson Ft Amy Winehouse - Valerie
or
Kate Nash - Foundations
International male solo artist
I bet it’ll be Kanye West.
International female solo artist
Rhianna’s Umbrella was too big for her not to win here.
…and here’s another cover version just to prove the point: Mechanical Bride - Umbrella (Rhianna cover)
International group
Foo Fighters.
International album
Foo Fighters - Echoes Silence Patience & Grace
