BRIT Awards 2017 – We Predict The Winners
The BRIT Awards 2017 are here. Well, almost, and while we’d like to be mixing and mingling with the great and the good (and the not-so-good) of British and international music during tomorrow’s (Feb 23) glitzy ceremony at London’s O2 Arena, our AAA passes sadly seem to have been lost in the post. Funny, the same thing happened last year.
No matter, like the rest of you mere mortals, we’ll be kicking back on the sofa with a glass of cheap bubbly and watching all the action unfold on ITV (7.30pm), including performances from Ed Sheeran, Skepta, Little Mix and Katy Perry. Well, there’s always the remote.
The BRITS remain one of the biggest events in the UK’s showbiz calendar – so for a bit of fun, the AAA Team have come over all Nostradamus-like and made our annual predictions for who’ll be taking home those bendy Zaha Hadid statuettes in each category.
Agree? Disagree? Let’s us know in the comments section below – but keep it clean, folks.
