Duffy And Estelle Favourites To Win Best Female At The Brits
Wednesday 21 January 2009 at 12:53
The Brit nominations have been made and it looks a strong year for the girls. The bookies have found it difficult to separate the top three in the betting and it looks a very tight event.
Duffy The Favourite For Best Female Solo Artist
Duffy, who only fairly recently burst onto the music scene, is the favourite to win the Brit and she can be backed at 13/8 with Paddy Power. Her first song Mercy was a massive hit as was her album Rockferry. The Welsh singer has been compared to Lulu amongst others and she looks likely to be around for a long time.
American Influence To Help Estelle At Brits?
Estelle, who was semi successful much earlier in the decade, has returned to the top of the charts with a new sound with a heavy American influence. She has worked with the likes of Kanye West, John Legend and Will I Am on her latest album and she is 2/1 with Paddy Power to land the Brit for Best Female Solo Artist.
Adele To Scoop Award?
Third favourite is Adele, who is 5/2 with Paddy Power. Adele worked with super producer Mark Ronson amongst others on her album 19 which has sold over a million copies. She could be a bit of a surprise package.
Two Outsiders For Best Female
The betting is completed by M.I.A XL (6/1 Paddy Power) and Beth Rowley (12/1 Paddy Power). M.I.A might not be a name you recognise but her song Paper Planes featured on the sound tracks for the popular films Pineapple Express and Slumdog Millionaire. Beth Rowley is a Peruvian born singer who released the album Little Dreamer in 2008.
