Re: Brit Awards 2008

Kate Nash is 3/1 over at Bet24 (Blackburn Rovers' sponsor) but that needs a Neteller deposit (not one for debit cards as they charge 2% for the privilege!).

There's been a fairly 'big' move about Leona Lewis winning 'Best British Single' and it looks like her performance on the night could swing it considering it is voted for on the night.

I thought they might give 'International Male' to Kanye West BUT no-one of the five has been announced as performing which suggests to me it's an acceptance speech by video' job which means someone already knows who's won. Same sentiments as regards 'International Group'.

Rihanna could get 'International Female' which would leave Kylie to surprisingly get 'International Album'.

The best available odds from Bet365 and Boyle Sports:

* Best International Female ~ Rihanna 4/6 (B365), Kylie Minogue 7/2 (BS), Feist 5/1 (BS), Alicia Keys 16/1 (BS) and Bjork 22/1 (BS).
* Best International Male ~ Timbaland 'evens' (BS), Kanye West 9/5 (B365), Michael Buble 6/1 (BS), Bruce Springsteen 14/1 (BS) and Rufus Wainwright 20/1 (BS).

On the whole I will continue to preach the message 'if-you-turn-up-you-win' but even the Brit Awards play silly buggers like snubbing Snow Patrol and giving Album and Group to Arctic Monkeys last year. They'll almost definitely do the same this year which is why I'm pretty weary.

This year's performers announced so far are: Kaiser Chiefs, Kylie Minogue, Leona Lewis, Mark Ronson (the tabloids say he's tried to rope in Amy Winehouse to perform Valerie), Mika and Rihanna with Klaxons.
