theeternalstars Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 In the category of International Female, BRITs regulars Björk and Lana Del Rey take on Ariana Grande, Courtney Barnett and Meghan Trainor, three artists who have never previously been nominated. The last 12 months have been defining for Meghan Trainor. She scored two UK No. 1 singles and a UK No. 1 for her debut album, ‘Title’, and has now been rewarded with a BRITs nomination. A true BRITs veteran, Björk has nine BRIT Award nominations and four wins under her belt. Despite International Female nominations in 2002, 2006, 2008 and 2012, Bjork last took home the trophy in 1998. Another experienced BRIT Award nominee is Lana Del Rey. This is her fourth nomination and she has won twice before. In 2012 she won International Breakthrough Act, and won International Female the following year. In 2015 she lost out to Taylor Swift - will she reclaim her crown come 24 February? Neither Ariana Grande or Courtney Barnett have been nominated for a BRIT before. Australian singer-songwriter and guitarist Courtney Barnett is a relative newcomer, having released her debut album in March 2015 to widespread acclaim. Chart favourite Ariana Grande has previously collaborated with fellow BRITs 2016 nominees Jessie J and The Weeknd and has two albums that have charted in the UK Top 5. The BRIT Awards 2016 take place at London’s O2 Arena on 24 February and will be broadcast live on ITV at 8pm GMT. Source: http://www.brits.co.uk/news/international-female-nominations-2016 7 Quote

graham4anything Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Cool. 0 Quote Lana is our modern day Edith Piaf. Totally unique. a mixture of Brian WIlson Roy Orbison, Leonard Cohen, Gram Parsons, Elton & Bernie. Born to Die/Paradise is comparable to Elton's Captain Fantastic. All the records need to be listened whole. Waiting for a box set vinyl of all 400 songs not on any lp
Thunder Revenant Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Would be great if she attends and wears something great ... 2 Quote Just do it. Just do it - don't wait!
Subversive Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Wait.. Maybe she will win this award (and attend & perform) 1 Quote
SuperMegaStan Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 i'm shocked that TaylorTM isn't nominated. how big are Ariana and M in the UK? hope she will win that award and attend the show 1 Quote
theeternalstars Posted January 15, 2016 Author Posted January 15, 2016 I've always preferred the BRITS over the Grammys because it seems that a lot of interesting artists are nominated each year (alongside the big pop powerhouses) like Courtney Barnett, Father John Misty, and Bjork this year. That being said, Ariana Grande or Meghan Trainor better not win. 1 Quote
Harpunn Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 I do know it's a Lana fanbase forum, but regardless of that, I envision Bjork as the winner. Sure, Honeymoon was good, but Vulnicura was unprecedented last year. 1 Quote
Amadeus Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Would be great if she attends and wears something great ... she literally went from hollywood glamout to girl's scout leader within a year 13 Quote
PARADIXO Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 It's either her or Meghan. how big are Ariana and M in the UK? Ariana is kinda a flop there, but M is huge. 0 Quote
theeternalstars Posted January 15, 2016 Author Posted January 15, 2016 Ariana is kinda a flop there, but M is huge. Unfortunately. 2 Quote
SilverSprings Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 I think she has a good chance this year, but maybe that's just because I have discounted Ariana and Meghan as joke nominations 1 Quote 'So I try to say goodbye my friend // I'd like to leave you with something warm // But never have I been a blue calm sea // I have always been a storm'

annedauphine Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 she literally went from hollywood glamout to girl's scout leader within a year For some reasons this makes me laugh so hard, it's such a good summary of Lana lmfao. Look at her face she's so satisfied of her look More seriously I really hope she wins, considering the smiling selfie she posted just after and the tweet + insta pic that Rob posted, I think it really means a lot to her. She deserves it so much but we all can agree on that 5 Quote

Tammy Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Ariana is kinda a flop there Her European tour (incl. UK) was sold out! She played arenas, dear! She had #1 singles and both albums were at the top 10 UK album charts. I would not call this a flop... 1 Quote
