I reckon Adele will win and deserves to. Not that I've actually heard the album in full. So maybe I should shut up.

I wish Adele would. Haven't heard any of them. And James Walbourne has made the best new British album so far this year, so he should win.

Saw pj live once, brilliant vocalist but she made a rather dramatic statement via her personal hygiene that was a bit off putting :shock:

Anna Calvi for me - great album and excellent live performance at the Harley earlier this year.

I have not heard the full Adele album either but I like her voice but I would like to see Anna Calvi win also.

I once booked Anna Calvi at a night I used to run in Brixton. She was in a band called Cheap Motel or something like that. Funnily enough I also tried to book Adele but she was busy. This was when they were just starting out.
