Chig's pointless Brits predictions

Ooh, the excitement! Only two days to go before the first Brits LIVE on the telly since the Samantha Fox and Mick Fleetwood fiasco! What can possibly go wrong? Hopefully, lots. But delightful Davina will no doubt take it all in her stride. Chig can't wait! Feel free to add your own predictions and comments. I've started adding mine, but it'll be done in fits and starts...

Key:
Chig's predictions in bold.
Chig's preferred winners in italics

BRITISH MALE SOLO ARTIST
Badly Drawn Boy
Craig David
David Gray
The Streets At least the Brits have decided on Mr Skinner's category - the NME awards had him as a group AND a soloist.
Robbie Williams
BRITISH FEMALE SOLO ARTIST
Sophie Ellis Bextor
Ms Dynamite
Beverley Knight - for being the best solo act at Glastonbury, and the eternal bridesmaid in various awards.
Alison Moyet - much as Chig likes Alf, an appearance on Graham Norton and a brief brush with the top 20 for her comeback album does not a Brit award winner make.briefiller
Beth Orton - filler.
MASTERCARD BRITISH ALBUM
Coldplay: A Rush of Blood to the Head - partly because it's the only one of this five that I've heard, or own.
Ms Dynamite: A Little Deeper Will probably win, but the Mercury Prize may handicap it and give this one to Coldplay instead.
The Coral: The Coral
The Streets: Original Pirate Material
Sugababes: Angels with Dirty Faces
BRITISH GROUP
Blue
Coldplay
Doves
Sugababes
Oasis
BRITISH SINGLE
Atomic Kitten: The Tide Is High (Get The Feeling) - Please God, noooooooooooo!
Gareth Gates: Anyone Of Us (Stupid Mistake)
Gareth Gates: Unchained Melody Cover versions shouldn't really be in this category, as far as Chig's concerned, but the top 5 best-sellers of the year (by UK acts) get in automatically, so it's just unfortunate. This won Record Of The Year, but the presence of two Gareth singles could split the vote and hand it to Will instead.
Liberty X: Just A Little
Will Young: Anything Is Possible/Evergreen
BRITISH URBAN ACT
Beverley Knight - urban Wolverhampton
Big Brovaz - urban, but terribly, terribly nice
Craig David - urban Southampton
Daniel Bedingfield - urban New Zealand. Hmmm.
Mis-Teeq - urban Lahndaaaahn
Ms Dynamite - urban pregnant
Romeo - urban hunk
Roots Manuva
So Solid Crew - urban criminals
The Streets - urban Brummoy, y'oroight?
BRITISH DANCE ACT
Chemical Brothers - didn't do much in 2002
Groove Armada - likewise
Jamiroquai - what?
Kosheen - er, okay then
Sugababes - cool, but not a dance act
How about none of the above?
BRITISH BREAKTHROUGH ARTIST
Liberty X
Ms Dynamite
The Coral
The Streets Just to share out the awards between Ms D and Mr S, he should get this one.
Will Young
POP ACT Voted by (cd):uk viewers and readers of The Sun.
Blue May edge out Gareth, purely due to their 4:1 hunk ratio.
Enrique Iglesias
Gareth Gates
P!nk
Will Young
