Brits Predictions 2013

Hi. Decided to start this blog because I have a real interest in the cultural world of media. Music, film and the rest is my game. Each post will be related to one of those two things.

Today I am going to predict the 2013 BRIT Awards...

BEST BRITISH MALE SOLO ACT
 I think that the majority of people would certainly expect Calvin Harris to nick this one (myself included). However much the critics that drew up the nominations love Plan B, I don't think he will beat Calvin or Olly in the final vote.

BEST BRITISH FEMALE SOLO ACT
 Whilst I would love to see Jessie Ware nab this one, I think that Emeli Sande is a lot more popular with the voters than any of the other nominees.

BEST BRITISH BREAKTHROUGH ACT
With all due respect to any of the other competitors, Rita Ora had three consecutive #1s, and a #1 album. Not to mention she is the only nominee who also managed to cross the pond with their music in that time, (although Jessie Ware released her EP in the US 10 days ago).

BEST BRITISH GROUP

It's all going to come down to do One Direction have enough screaming fans to pull a BRITS win out of the bag against Mumford and Sons. I don't think so, so I'm going to go Mumford and Sons to win.

BEST BRITISH SINGLE

This is always the toughest category to predict. This year, they even made the job a lot harder by putting 15 nominees. Here goes, let's rule out anybody that has became famous anywhere else with their song (Adele, Alex Clare, Coldplay, Florence, Jessie J, Robbie Williams). From the rest of the category I rule out the X Factor winner on the grounds that it's not his song. I'm going to go a bit out on a limb and say Rizzle Kicks to win for Mama Do the Hump.  


BEST BRITISH ALBUM
My head says Emeli Sande all the way. My heart says Mumford and Sons. I think that given the fact that they will be coming back to the BRITS from the Grammys, possibly with the album of the year gong. It's not the favorite, but it is my favorite so I'm going to say Mumford and Sons.

 BEST BRITISH LIVE ACT
 Only Coldplay and Mumford and Sons released live albums this year. I watched both of them and I would rather be at a Coldplay concert. However I think that Mumford and Sons will have success in this category in later years.

BRITS GLOBAL SUCCESS
To be absolutely clear about this new category. The winner is the one with the most album sales. Unfortunately, I think that this one goes to One Direction.

BEST INTERNATIONAL MALE SOLOARTIST
Two words, Bruce Springsteen.

BEST INTERNATIONAL FEMALE SOLO ARTIST
I'm going to go with the person that had the better year. To be honest, I would much rather see Rihanna win this, but I think that this year, the person that deserves it is Taylor Swift.

BEST INTERNATIONAL GROUP

Only Fun. and the script have a chance in this category. I'm going to say Fun. because of their world wide success with their album.

BEST BRITISH PRODUCER

On sheer amount of success this year, the award has to go to Jake Gosling.



Only Mumford and Sons to take more than one.
