I'd love for Florence to win. There just seems to be a glow around her at the moment, where seemingly nothing can go wrong. However, I'm not surprised if it'll be La Roux as she has the best aesthetics and is the most distinctive and fresh.

I also feel that Friendly Fires are worthy winners. Their debut album is exceptionally good, and with the release of their next single 'Kiss of Life' in September, it's easy to say they could quite possibly explode!

I have a feeling Bat for Lashes may win, as penance for 2007's loss to Klaxons. I'm not sure I can see Kasabian winning. On the other hand, The Horrors could surprise all and pull this one out of the bag. As for the rest, it's all the usual tokenistic bullshit.

I'm banking on Florence and the Machine, and I really hope I'm right!

I'm posting more style-related photos tomorrow night, check back!
