Emeli Sandé has been shortlisted for the 'prestigious' Critics' Choice Award at the 2012 BRIT awards.
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.
