The most notable music award is back for another year, and there are more artists looking to get the prestigious BRIT award. I’ve taken the time to list my predictions about who will win what. Here is what this years award will look like:
They look pretty cool, a lovely tribute to the late David Bowie. I will be watching intently and making sure to blog as to wether my predictions are correct. I hope that at least some are correct!
Here are the nominations and my predictions for the winners:
British artist video
This award goes to the artist with the best music video, the nominations are:
Adele – Hello
Calvin Harris & Disciples – How Deep Is Your Love
Ed Sheeran – Photograph
Jessie J – Flashlight
Little Mix – Black Magic
Naughty Boy Ft. Beyonce & Arrow Benjamin – Runnin’
One Direction – Drag Me Down
Sam Smith – Writings On The Wall
I predict that the winner will be Adele with Hello. The song itself is amazing, the way it is relatable to so many people is what really strikes me in not only this song but in all of Adele’s music. Not to mention her vocals are still incredible! The video also compliments the track and was very well done by the producers.
British Breakthrough Act
This award is given to the act that is thought that have made a significant impact within their own career, the nominations are:
James Bay
Catfish & The Bottlemen
Jess Glynne
Wolf Alice
Years and Years
I predict that the winner of this award will be James Bay. He has certainly made an impact on the UK Music scene this past year and more than deserves this award.
British Male Solo Artist
The clue is in the name for this one, this award is given to the best male solo artist of the past year. The nominations are:
Aphex Twin
Calvin Harris
Jamie XX
Mark Ronson
My prediction is: Calvin Harris
British Female solo artist
This award is the female version of the male solo, the nominations are:
Adele
Amy Winehouse
Florence + The Machine
Jess Glyyne
Laura Marling
I think this one is rather obvious, I predict that the winner will be Adele.
British Group
This award is given to the best British group, the nominations are:
Blur
Coldplay
Years and Years
One Direction
Foals
I predict that the winner will be: Coldplay. With the release of their latest single, they have made quite an impression on me, I’m liking their new found direction.
British Producer Of The Year
This award is given to the best British producer, the nominations are:
Charlie Andrew
Mark Ronson
Mike Crossey
Tom Dalgety
I predict the winner will be Mark Ronson, notable for his collaboration with Bruno Mars with Uptown Funk.
British Single
Adele – Hello
Ed Sheeran & Rudimental = Bloodstream
Elle Goulding – Love Me Like You Do
James Bay – Hold Back The River
Jess Glynne – Hold My Hand
Little Mix – Black Magic
Olly Murs Ft. Demi Lovato – Up
Phillip George – Wish You Were Mine
Years & Years – King
I predict the winner will no doubt be Adele with her return single “Hello”. A stunning track as has already been said.
Mastercard Album Of The Year
The Mastercard album of the year goes to the artist with the best album. The nominations are:
Adele – 25
Coldplay – A Head Full Of Dreams
Florence + The Machine – How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful
James Bay – Chaos and The Calm
Jamie XX – In Colour
Again, my winner would definitely be Adele! She’s made a stunning comeback since having her baby and operation, I’m certainly glad to see fresh work from her!
International Male Solo Artist
This award is given to male solo artists from other countries such as America. The nominations are:
Justin Bieber
Drake
Father John Misty
Kendrick Lamar
The Weeknd
My predicted winner is Justin Bieber. With a fresh new album out this year with a more mature sound and attitude, his catching the attention of people who at first, hated him and his music. He has really turned his career around.
International Female Solo Artist
This one was slightly harder to choose, I’ll admit. The nominations are:
Ariana Grande
Bjork
Lana Del Ray
Courtney Barnett
Meghan Trainor
My predicted winner is: Meghan Trainor, she’s certainly written some catchy songs this year so she seems a likely candidate for winner.
International Group
This is the final award on the list, I had to do some research into this one because some of the groups I hadn’t heard of before. The nominations are:
Alabama Shakes
Eagles Of Death Metal
U2
Major Lazer
Tame Impala
My final prediction is that the winners of this award will be U1. These guys have been around forever and certainly deserve to win this one!
