The Brit Awards are pretty much like the UK's version of our Grammys. And the full list of nominees was announced this past Saturday. For one, I love this award show cuz the trophy is dope as hell, also we get the chance to see some of the UK's best artists crush it with live performances. Think about it, it was about a year ago when James Bay had to come to the rescue and perform with Justin Bieber because he had no guitarist...remember this:
We've got some EPIC category matchups coming, you've got Adele, Coldplay, and One Direction in one category. Although we lost the legendary David Bowie, he's nominated for British Male Solo Artist (and he better win). Plus, superstars like Bruno Mars and Rihanna have the chance to nab an award...or two!
