I think more than just who she is went against SuBo getting nominated. Timing being the biggest factor, in my opinion. I am on the voting acadamy, and at the time I voted, though the SuBo album had been released - just - I was not aware how well it was doing comercially.
So, had the album been released a few weeks (or even a week) earlier, I think it may have been noticed more by the acadamy and probably got nominated.
To be honest, only I Dreamed a Dream and Wild Horses stand out for me. So it would have only got my vote to recognise its sales - which hadn't happened at the time I voted. |

Looks like Gordon Smart on the Sun reads this board (good for him) and writes Bizarre in the time honoured way (I taught them)... knock the nominations every year! |

I agree completely with JK
The nominations are frankly feeble and weak - and it seems to have morphed into the YANKS - because GAGA is the only star that has been nominated.
As Nan Tate would say " what a load of ****" |

And they did David; Una Paloma Blanca was the Record of the Year in 1975! No, I think nominations should reflect popularity - the winners need not, depending on the judges.
But for example I think John Le Carre should be short listed for a Booker every time he has a new book out but he never is. What do I know? |

why should tho Brits be different tho, as you seem to single them out....
as I said I don't much like awards so I am not best placed to comment lol but if sales were the barometer then surely the Birdy Song or Shaddap Your Face should have won awards?? |
