I knew Nova Twins would be on it on Sunday, because I was playing cricket with their label supremo, lol

(he is also Self Esteem's supremo, and Bridgers etc)
(btw what a truly abysmal collection of music, I did promise to check out Nova Twins tho)

Nova Twins are great and my favourite of the lot, but I wouldn't think their nu-metal would win over critical & popular faves like Little Simz or Wet Leg or Harry Styles.

yup, they almost certainly have zero chance, but will win in my dreams.

Not sure who's favourite with the bookies but could.easily see the judges giving it to Self Esteem
