brit awards. nominees. possible winners.

the brit award nominees have been revealed today and what can i say? no real surprises. we all expected to see adele in every list that includes females (not sure if that's a good or a bad thing), the ed sheeran phenomenon is still a mystery too me and i'm not even gonna comment on the fact that coldplay are up for best album.

but of course that's only me. and that's the beauty of music and basically every art in general - we all have our own opinion. and that's a good thing. 

if it was up to me though, the list of winners would look like this...

i gotta admit that it's quite hard to pick a favourite in some categories - not because i can't decide between two (or more) nominees but because i'm not particularly a big fan of any of them... especially in the british female solo artist category. 

i honestly don't expect any of the artists that i chose to actually win in their categories or actually, i'm sure they won't - except for pj harvey perhaps. 

the voting is now open, so head over to www.brits.co.uk to cast your vote for your favourite artist/band. voting ends on 17 february.

feel free to comment below and let me know who you think should win those little men...
