Paloma Faith stunned the audience at the BRITs nominations show on Saturday night, with an amazing performance of her single 'Crybaby'.

We caught up with Paloma before her performance to ask her how it felt to be nominated for a BRIT this year. She described it as "amazing and shocking, AGAIN!". The singer has previously been nominated for a BRIT Award a number of times and most recently won a BRIT Award for British Female Solo Artist in 2015.

This year Paloma is up against Kate Tempest, Jessie Ware, Laura Marling and Dua Lipa, but she revealed she didn't think she would win because she hasn't been offered a table at The BRITs. The singer went to explain that when she won last time she was offered a whole table, but that hasn't happened this time.

"The year I won, that was the difference," Paloma explained, "but at the time I thought it was because I'd been nominated so many times."

Paloma also went on to reveal her favourite 'BRITs gone wrong' moment, saying it was more 'BRITs goes right'. "It was Jarvis storming the stage during Michael Jackson's performance. That's BRITs gone right for me," she said.

On Saturday night Paloma kicked off the show performing 'Crybaby' wearing an amazing glittery outfit which sparkled in the lights throughout. During her performance she was surrounded by loads of men who were standing on the stage, topless and crying.

Sam Fender: 2019

Sam Fender has become hugely popular over the last couple of years, so it's no surprise he won the award in 2019. His debut album 'Hypersonic Missiles' was adored by fans.
