"Jessie Ware has tipped The Maccabees to win this year&amp;#039;s Mercury Prize.  The singer, who is one of 12 acts to be nominated for this year&amp;#039;s award with her album Devotion, also insisted that she &amp;quot;can&amp;#039;t believe&amp;quot; she made the shortlist.    Ware told Digital Spy: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m so, so happy. I can&amp;#039;t believe it! &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know how it works and I don&amp;#039;t care. To be recognised is incredible. I get a trophy at the end of it anyway so I&amp;#039;m happy either way!&amp;quot;  Asked who she thinks should bag the prize, she revealed: &amp;quot;I think The Maccabees should get it this year. I think Orlando [Weeks] is an incredible songwriter and the band create these beautiful moments and you really hear a journey in the album. It&amp;#039;s a delightful piece of music.&amp;quot; She continued: &amp;quot;The Invisible could have been on the list as well - [Their album] Rispah is a masterpiece.  &amp;quot;It also would have been great to see Kate Bush on there as well... just to get a glimpse of her!&amp;quot; It was recently reported that Plan B and Richard Hawley are the bookies&amp;#039; favourites to win this year&amp;#039;s Mercury.
