Purple aki squat Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 I'm not a betting man but I would like to warn fellow efest readers not to place any of their hard earned money on Nick Cave and the bad seeds. I do not have inside information that they won't win, but have a feeling they may be pipped to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comfy Bean Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Credit due to Mr Woffy for the detail and effort involved in the thread opener here but can't we just get loaded and take the piss out of the evening's proceedings like every other year:-) Ragnbone man will win something.

Amy Lawn Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 I hope you're all ready for the sheer magnitude of sneers we'll be throwing out at the tragic and blatant efforts for the Brits to shoehorn themselves into the zeitgeist, like that English teacher who wears a Topman cardigan and skinny tie and gels his hair and asks the class if they've heard this sick new grime MC he's into. Mate, you're 40 years of age, stop this shit, it's painful to watch. Who's presenting this year? The Ant and Dec type safe for middle England ITV twat trying to pretend they possess any more music critiquing skills than a dog, even though the only descriptors they know are "wow", "amazing" and "talented", is always the most painful part.

Acid_Haze Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 My choices would be British Male Artist: David Bowie British Female Artist: Anohni British Group: Radiohead International Group: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds British Breakthrough Act: Skepta Critics' Choice Award(presented by Emeli Sandé): Dua Lipa MasterCard British Album of the Year: David Bowie – Blackstar British Single of the Year: they're all awful International Male Solo Artist: Bon Iver International Female Solo Artist: Solange British Producer of the Year: TBA British Video: they're all terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always take the piss with this category but giving the Critics Choice award to someone also nominated in Best Breakthrough is a new low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose-Colored Boy Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 British Male Artist: Skepta British Female Artist: Emeli Sandé - but this category is appalling. Poor Laura Mvula and others overlooked in favour of people who didn't even release anything last year British Group: The 1975 International Group: Drake and Future British Breakthrough Act: Skepta Critics' Choice Award (presented by Emeli Sandé): Rag'n'Bone Man MasterCard British Album of the Year: Bowie - Blackstar British Single of the Year: Clean Bandit featuring Sean Paul & Anne-Marie – "Rockabye" - be happy with anything as long as it isn't Calum Scott tbh International Male Solo Artist: Drake - would be quite something for someone to win 'Best Group' and 'Best Solo Act' in the same ceremony but whatever International Female Solo Artist: Beyoncé British Producer of the Year: TBA British Video: One Direction – "History" - this is a public vote so 1D will win despite this song being released in 2015 ffs BRITs Global Success: Nigel Farage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkic Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 I haven't heard of any of those singles. Not one. As far as winners. Bowie will win and hope Skepta does too, deserves it. Would also love Radiohead, NAO and Christine and The Queens to win too but it won't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is even worse for me as I am pretty sure I have heard all of them but they are completely indistiguishable from one another (apart from the James Arthur one which I know has a romantic line about holding a girl's hair back while she is sick) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other six are some of the worst pop songs in years though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose-Colored Boy Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 i mean some of Tine Tempah's early stuff is absolutely bangin' but what the living fuck is this half-arsed objectifying bollocks also covers should be ineligible to win awards for 'Best Song' even if they aren't as bad as this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
