no joe you have to pretend your on the judges panel and vote based on the nominations given

Some terrible nominations, Dizzee Rascal hasn't released an album in 2005 so although he is the best on the list for Urban I can't vote for him. Ditto Kasabian.

Then the best single?! WTF! Shayne Ward?!

Are these awards based on units sold or musical quality?

I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if Shayne Ward won. :icon_evil

BRIT awards are given by the music industry to those artists carefully considered to need a marketing push.

Thanks to everyone that voted, and I'm sure that the stars who won these prestigious awards can go home and tell their grandchildren about the fine moment when the lads (and ladies) off Talkingballs voted them the best.

 

[Scarby]

i think Jack Johnson should have won something:icon_evil

 

[Ox Fox]

Feck me, after the result yesterday and reading the TB BRIT results above I think I'm going to have to go and open the Makers Mark and pour myself a very very large one.

Good answer, I agree entirely. Either they pat on the back their unit shifting artists and say thanks for being bland and appealing to the masses or they give the award to those they want to push.

Does this mean the Arctic Monkeys are bound to win or are they on and indie label and have no chance?!

Blunt will win Breakthrough Act. Its a feckin disgrace.
