Not long to go before the great and the good of the British music industry gather for the Brit Awards 2010! Having traversed the obstacle of Valentines Day, the 16th February will see more polish for some egos and some uncomfortable bruising for others.
The show itself has not always been known for its polish, with bohemian disregard for professional presenting talent, but hard economic times worldwide neccessitates an improved showcase these days for British Musical Talent.
When betting on this event any eager punter should remember that whilst the Brit Academy are responsible for the nominations, the voting is dependent on the public, with each category having its own particular sponsor. For example the International Breakthrough Act is supported by MTV viewers, The British Breakthrough Act, Radio 1 listeners and the Best British Single by listeners of Commercial Radio. The nominations in this category have been selected as a result of the amount of commercial radio air-play combined with sales volumes in the previous calendar year.
Understanding the make up of those voting is key to judging an outcome, so a little knowledge on this occasion could be a really useful thing!
Of the fourteen categories the most prestigious are probably best British Single and Best British Album, but the voters will be loyally voting for their particular favourite, this is not a critically assessed vote, which would explain why JLS and Cheryl Cole still top the former list!
Are JLS fans more likely to have actively voted for their group since they are made up of enthusiastic teenage girls or will the libidinous boys be pulled away from their magazines to exercise their energy on ballots?
I wonder why Susan Boyle does not appear as a contender in any category ?

Stachell has some advice for anybody thinking about trying out for The X Factor 2010.
She told Digital Spy: “I’d highly recommend it to anyone, but make sure you do your groundwork before.
“Do some singing and not just karaoke. They all turn up and there mums already think they are a star.”
She added: “People like Leona – she had worked hard before X Factor, she didn’t just turn up. It should only really be a last resort.
“I don’t understand why a rocker like Jamie Afro would go on. The moment he did the group dance, his credibility was shot. I would never had done the group dance.
“Well, we couldn’t have done it my year because we had 2 To Go – God! – it would have ended up like that Peter Kay show. Can you imagine me, Steve and G4 dancing?”

According to a poll taken by the bingo giants, Gala Bingo that universal symbol for talent and generosity Cheryl Cole has now been voted the ‘face of luck’. According to the poll, Mrs Cole, who is also currently the face/hair of L’Oreal as well as an X-Factor judge is the epitome of luck, having just beaten off ‘This Morning’ presenter and friend of Fearne Cotton, Holly Willoughby who came in a close second.
Felix Economakis who is a BBC 3 psychologist had this to say on the surprise results of the Gala Bingo poll; “Undoubtedly, all of the top ten in this poll have a positive mental attitude, which is a key component in inviting luck into your life. Having a positive mental attitude will enable you to keep an open mind and grab any opportunities should they arise and keep you looking on the bright side when negative things occur.” This year has certainly seen Mrs Cole, formerly Miss Tweedy celebrate a whole range of successes such as the beginning of a solo career and if Felix is right, this is down to her positive outlook on life.
The poll also saw Susan Boyle, Alesha Dixon and Stacey Solomon finish off the top five.
