Joining the 'Daddy' hitmaker is acoustic troubadour Maverick Sabre and the less grumpy but still acoustic Michael Kiwanuka.
Previous winners include Adele, Florence & the Machine, Ellie Goulding and Jessie J.
The winner will be announced next Thursday at a 'star-studded' (we imagine Jessie J and her onesie might be there) event in London somewhere.
