Liam Gallagher Thinks Coldplay Are A 'Brit Special'

Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher tipped Coldplay to clean up at the BRITs - even joking they'd be crowned Best New Female, report the Daily Record.

The Oasis frontman made his prediction on Johnny Vaughan's Capital FM Breakfast show - on which Liam's All Saints wife Nicole Appleton was guest presenter. He first tipped Coldplay - who were up for four BRITs - for Best Album, saying: "I'd go with the Ting Tings, but who do you think'll win? Coldplay. They win everything. They'll even win the Best New Female act, won't they."

He went on to say Girls Aloud tunes were "all right" but that Chris Martin's boys would beat them to Best Group, too. He said: "Coldplay have got to win it."

Of the Best British Male gong, he predicted: "Ian Brown is obviously the man, but I think Paul Weller should get it. His album is mega." Reminded by Vaughan that Will Young was also in that category, Gallagher mocked: "Come on."

Gallagher tipped Duffy to win Best British Female. But he seemed confused about the Best Live Act nominees, asking: "I've never heard of Scouting For Girls - who are them lot? "It got to be The Verve mate - but I think Coldplay will win it too."
