It is almost 15 days for the big day and still a lot of controversy is around whether this year's nominations for the Brit Awards were fair enough.
Different media have been questioning the authenticity of the nominations as there were quite a few talented and successful british artists that were not in the nominees' list.
One of the most controversial cases is Susan Boyle, who became one of the most successful recording artists in less than a year.
Some media criticized the fact that Boyle was snubbed this year by the panel of more than 1,000 people from the music industry and media.
Others said that just the most popular artists were the chosen ones, so that left outside the nominations brand new acts like Paloma Faith, Chipmunk and Frankmusik.
Even though the fact their singles reached the UK top 40 by november 2009.
