I agree with you I wasn't sure and randomly chose Ellie

boring performers and boring nominations sounds crap

i dont know how anyone can care about this sort of ****

like all of those artists, you already know about so i honestly dont understand the point in giving them awards

it'd be good if there was an award ceremony on this scale that actually gave awards to the not-so-known bands that are very good but dont get enough recognition so then people looking for new artists to get into could check the winners out

cos ur celebrating the year in music and recognising the best artists futz!!!! (h)

It's about celebrating the past year of music. Some artists work SO hard, and they deserve recognition. I totally understand why they do it, and I'm glad they do.

Going into Music myself, winning awards could be the most rewarding part of your career. Knowing that you're doing something well, because money doesn't tell you that.

If Dear Darlin' gets the best single am done with this country.

it wont song of year is fan voted so 1D win again
same worry crossed my mind as well tho

your fans tell you that, even money tells you that
you're doing something right if you're getting love from your fans
you're doing something right if you're selling albums and selling out concerts, people wouldnt buy your music if it didn't bring them joy

fixed awards don't, who votes on these things anyway?

2014 WILL BE SAM SMITHS YEAR

cba copying and pasting so i'll just list in order

john newman, ellie goulding, arctic monkeys, london grammar, naughty boy ft. sam smith- la la la, arctic monkeys - am, justin timberlake, lady gaga and haim

Excuse me. Jessie or Ellie win hands down. psh
ily rly xo

These awards seem so outdated these days. It just seems like forcing a load of mainstream singers down peoples throats because they're perceived to be good when really it's subjective. You could anlyse them all objectively and see who needs auto-tune or other assistance when singing and deduce that those ones are not worthy of awards while others are, those who write their own songs, make a good beat or even good singing live (Muse won awards in this category in the past)

Anyway, my thoughts on each nominates in the spoiler.

Show Hide

British Male Solo Artist

Ellie Goulding - only one to sing live and not scream like a certain Jessie J

Not sure - pretty sure Daft Punk's latest, greatest hit is just one of their old tracks with a different beat - plus you can mishear the lyrics for comedic value.

award ceremonies are about celebrating the year of music anyway, who cares about awards
