Not me! Let’s have the Brits now! It’s actually a very good year for nominations with Will, Maroon 5, Scissor Sisters and Snow Patrol getting several each, GA and Gwen Stefani making their first appearances, plus ace people like Natasha Bedingfield, Jamelia, Franz Ferdinand, the Killers, Lemar and Kylie. In fact, I’d say this is without doubt the best nominations list I’ve ever seen and considering last year was one of the most useless charts-wise ever, it’s quite a shock!
