New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Virgin Records) The 2011 nominations for the BRITs have been announced and now you get to argue over who you think should win, who has been cruelly overlooked and why the buffalo is so-and-so on the list?
We've come up with the remarkable system of listing all of the nominees below and putting the ones we want to win in bold (clever, clever) while also helpfully pointing out the artists who have graced our very own Red Room music show so far. Maybe watching these video clips will help you decide if they're worthy winners...
British Female Solo Artist Cheryl Cole Ellie Goulding Laura Marling (we'll stick our necks out and say she'll probably win it as the token lefty 'right on' vote) Paloma Faith Rumer
Critics' Choice Jessie J (Oh, she's already won it) - find out Jessie J's own choices for the year's best music JamesBlake The Vaccines
British Producer Ethan Johns John Leckie Markus Dravs Mike Pela Stuart Price (go on - give it to him, we met him years ago in the back of his van in Brighton when he was Jacques Lu Cont and he's a top bloke)
