Ricky Wilson says he is "annoyed" by the news that the Kaiser Chiefs' "Ruby" has been overlooked for a Brit Award.
The band were on the final shortlist for the Best Single prize, until being omitted by a vote amongst the British public yesterday.
The gong will now either go to The Hoosiers, Leona Lewis, Take That, Mika or Mark Ronson, prompting Wilson's outburst.
"Everyone knows 'Ruby' is the best single, if you are gonna whittle them down to five, you'd think 'Ruby' would be in there wouldn't you?", he told the BBC.
"They have all got their merits, but I am just a bit annoyed. There is no point making enemies with these people because they will all be there."
The 2008 Brits takes place at London's Earl's Court this Wednesday.
