All the usual suspects. I find it hard to work up much interest.

This is daft - I'm sure Radio 2 listeners are less likely to go to live gigs than Radio 1 or ILR listeners. R2 listeners should vote for Best Single since all of the nominees have been on non-stop play all year! |

It is broadcast the day after the show normally isn't it? Is it live this year? Evans used to present it up to this year didnt he? _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |

I take it there should be a choice for the Outstanding contribution to music thing (mark's just had oasis) hmm - if I could chose, it would be Stuart Maconie ( is it that obvious I'm an SM fan? _________________ I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering. |

No, the Outstanding Contribution award was announced ages ago - when Oasis brought their Greatest Hits album out, in fact. What a coincidence! |

You'll get no argument from me on the CBR v LA score. LA *will* get it as she's being peddled like mad, but CBR deserves it on sheer talent and in the end, probably longevity. She's certainly on my Amazon wish-list - needless to say Keith's daughter isn't. _________________ Author: “To the Ends of the Earth: A Snapshot of Aviation in North-Eastern Siberia, Summer 1992”

interesting - I see it as the other way round - I think CBR will get the awards but I would rather and I think she deserves them more ... Lily Allen - I love her songs- she's fantastic _________________ I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering. |

TBH I couldn't care less about the Brits - there's only one reason why they exist and thats to try and shift a few extra records. Look at the timing - just after Christmas when there are very few big names releasing new material and the market is more or less dead. |

quite true - I'm not bothered myself - was just choosing ones if I had to.. it;s a bit daft though when CBR is up for all those award and she only had 1 hit song (the other one wasn;t so well received and she's had no others) - and I mean Jarvis Cocker's album's only jsut come out!
bit daft I agree
but we're getting into the season of award ceremonies _________________ I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering. |

At least its not as bad as during the 90s when you had a real job finding nominations in some categories. I think there was one time when Kate Bush was nominated for Best British Female despite not having actually released anything for about 3 years. |

They should drag Samantha Fox and Mick Fleetwood out to compare it again to add some entertainment to the proceedings.... _________________ Author: “To the Ends of the Earth: A Snapshot of Aviation in North-Eastern Siberia, Summer 1992”

There are SO many quality musicians that deserve the Outstanding achievement ( or as Eric Clapton called it 'The dinosaur award') _________________ Geddon

Amy Winehouse is the only one out of that lot who i think is good!
Excellent singer, Back to Black among my favourite albums of 2006
The Kooks must rank as one of the most pointless bands ever. all their pathetic post-New wave vocal posturing & cliches. They have about as much to offer music as Rolf Harris! |

I like new wave |
I kind of liked New Wave about 30 years ago. But today that sound is a bit cliched, or at least it is to me. Just not to my taste really. There were guys doing what the Kooks are doing today in the '70s |

as I wasn't aound to aapreciate the 70s - this repetition doesn't bother me - the Kooks aren't my fav, a bit unforgettable I agree and don't get me started on that accent of theirs...
I would say new wave was more franz ferdinand _________________ I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering. |

I think their "accent" is one of the thing that bothers me about them. Whatever it is supposed to be, it is fake!
Isn't it a bit odd that the Brits are unable to broadcast live?
All US Awards shows go out live, & they are great glitsy affairs. The Brits is just a little thing, but still they can't make it live! |

didn't know either of those things - I thought they just had the misfortune to grow up with that terrible accent (Oy, neo - I know)
and also didn't know the Brits wasn't live - doesn't bother me much though - never watched it anyway _________________ I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering. |
