" Laura Mvula, Tom Odell and AlunaGeorge have been shortlisted for the Brits Critics&amp;#039; Choice Award 2013. The three acts have been tipped for big success next year and one will be honoured by the Brit Academy on December 20.   [Left: Laura Mvula / Right: Tom Odell] &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s unbelievable and I&amp;#039;m in total shock. I don&amp;#039;t think I&amp;#039;ve experienced this kind of shock before,&amp;quot; Mvula said of her mention. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s such a huge honour to be included in this prestigious shortlist, I don&amp;#039;t think that I can put it into words. Thank you.&amp;quot; AlunaGeorge stated: &amp;quot;We both feel incredibly honoured to be shortlisted for this award. Completely blown away, it&amp;#039;s a great feeling to have our music recognised in such a big way. 2013 is going to be an incredible year for UK music.&amp;quot;   [AlunaGeorge] Tom Odell added: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m thrilled to be nominated and I feel privileged to be in the same company as previous nominees of the caliber of Adele, Emeli Sande, Michael Kiwanuka and Florence.&amp;quot; Adele, Florence + the Machine and Ellie Goulding have been recipients of the prize in recent years - all of which have gone on to become global success stories. Jessie J was awarded the honour in 2011, while Emeli Sand\u00E9 was handed the prize earlier this year at the 2012 ceremony. The Brits Critics&amp;#039; Choice Award is voted for by a panel of industry insiders. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
