I don't get it so it's videos from their living room tonight then the winner announced on the one show tomorrow?

Pretty much. Some live recordings and then announced tomorrow

[DDave]

I have a sneaky feeling Dua Lipa will (rightly) take the prize. Great pop album. 

[Quark]

Won't lie, this really doesn't have the same energy as Brits night

[priest17]

Wow that's a rubbish front room Michael.

[priest17]

This is perfect post pub Friday TV.

Fucks sake. Not even getting the result till tomorrow. What is the point of that?

Was nice to watch a few live performances if nothing else. Watched up to Dua Lipa, probably catch the rest tonight. Sports Team looked god I thought.

[Punksnotdead]

Kiwanuka has shortened in the betting (6/4 from 5/2). As have Sports Team (4/1 from 9/1).

Insider knowledge maybe?

When I was listening to Lauren Laverne earlier in the week, I could have swore she said "she" when referring to the future winner announcement. I may have misheard though!

She's not on the panel so I doubt if she'd know, but it's not impossible I suppose. Normally the panel are debating it until the last minute, but it might be different this year.

Well it's not Dua Lipa or Charli XcX anyway. Whoever it is, is in the studio for the one show and those 2 are in America.

Don't think its Anna Meredith either - just played it on 6 music. Don't think they would play the winner just before!

[Chrisp1986]

Oh fuck off.  BUTTERFLY PHOTOGRAPHY THING.

Or Moses Boyd for same reason - Kiwanuka looks a certainty now.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Fair play. Its a good album.

Yep, no argument from me.

[Chrisp1986]

Was gonna put loads of money on this until Sporta Team had cut odds!

[dingbat2]

I like him, nice bloke

[gigpusher]

Totally deserved. Very happy with the outcome. 

[Avalon_Fields]

Delighted it’s Kiwanuka. My favourite album released in 2019.

[Quark]

Sorry to all those who voted Radiohead in the poll

Kiwanuka was my vote. Great album.
