Mark Ronson Backs Plan B And Tinie Tempah For Brit Awards Win

February 9, 2011
Mark Ronson Backs Plan B And Tinie Tempah For Brit Awards WinMark Ronson has backed rappers Plan B and Tinie Tempah to take home The Brit Awards next week.

The producer, who is nominated for the British Male Solo award, said he has no chance of winning alongside the other nominees.

“I have no chance unless some strange thing happens where Tinie and Plan B split the vote. It’s going to be tight. Maybe then they’ll have to have a recount like the 2004 presidential election in America," Ronson told the Daily Star.

He added: "I think Plan B is the stand-out artist. I listen to that album a lot."

"Tinie had a great year, too, but just from the point of view of career reinvention, what Plan B did was really brave and he made an awesome album all by himself.”

The ceremony takes place at London’s O2 Arena on February 15. It will be hosted by James Corden.
