Why is Mariah only nominated once??? Madonna only had 1 hit, Brit awards suck!!

Madonna is a bigger deal there then Mariah, just as Mariah is bigger in North America.


Anyway, yay Kaiser Chiefs, Madonna and Coldplay.

There are not many acts I'm interested in this year, but hey, it is definitely showing a shift in music.

simply because Madonna is bigger there

Because its the BRIT (Britain) Awards, Madonna is more successful here, idiot.

Even then it's still weird. Madonna only had a singe out in November and December. She's deffo not the best female artist of 2005. Oh well; Green Day, Mariah and Kelly are gonna win an award anyway.

She is here, Mariah barely had any hits last year.

yes but Hung Up has been #1 there for weeks solid, and once again yes Madonna is bigger in the UK

I hope Kelly will win ! I think she has good chances !

I think that it would be awesome if Kelly won an award especially since this is the big award show over in the UK. I know that Madonna has a really good chance of snagging the awards that she's nominated for.

I think it is very possible that Kelly could take home those awards. She has been doing pretty good over there, i think she has sold the most in britain than the other people in her categories.

woo kaiser cheifs

boo james blunt

International Breakthrough Act

^ Daniel Powter is so going to win this. I will be impressed if he doesn't, "Bad Day" was and is huge still.
