james blunt

worst album. erm, yeah

 

I wonder if the people who voted had actually seen the bands or even listened to the albums.</p>



</p>


</p>

 

Why would a tuppeny ha'penny music journal

.. need to get itself involved in a &quot;Villain of the year&quot; award - where the winner has little to do with music. </p>

Are they so short of categories these days, that they need to introduce such ***** into their awards?</p>

 

what an absolute load of B*ll*cks.

 

James Blunt is shocking

He's so f ucking bad</p>

 

The credibility of the voters who awarded these five accolades....

Best British Band: Arctic Monkeys
Best New Band: Arctic Monkeys
Best Track: Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor
Villain of the Year: George Bush
Worst Album: James Blunt - Back to Bedlam

.....is nicely demonstrated in two we can all make a judgement on.

Sexiest Male: Pete Doherty
Sexiest Female: Madonna

Proof, if we needed any, that the average NME reader is a tasteless, gullible, pre-pubescent moron who wouldn't know sexy if it sat on his/her face.

I wanted to put - sartorially barren and political poser in there somewhere but I thought it might get a bit wordy and the puppy wants her five millionth piss and South Park is coming on.

 

James Blunt is very good at what he does.

You don't like what he does, that's all mate.

Fact is he's smashed it here and abroad. Lots of lovely sales for us. Yay!

 

RE: Why would a tuppeny ha'penny music journal

I think the fact that the spoilt little muppets voted Bush ahead of Bin Laden proves once and for all that we need to bring back national service.

Either that or they were taking the piss in which case we should bring back national service.

Either way we should bring back national service. For NME readers.

 

Agreed on all bar the last.

Oh and Ricky Wilson wore some desirable togs but I doubt any of those spotties ever saw the B52s.

 

Or ever ventured away from their bedrooms.

 

James Blunt is very good at what he does.

what's that then?</p>

 

You are right, NME readers need to form their own opinions

and stop being so gullible

 

Am I missing something here?

Why is Madonna sexy? 

 

Never understood why they do an award for "worst album"

Presumably the majority of people end up voting for an album that they've not even heard.

And why is their such animosity against James Blunt? I've heard a couple of his tracks, not my cup of tea but I'm struggling to think why he gets such vitriol.

As for worst band - reminds me of one mags awards one year when the same band won the best band and worst band awards - sums up readers polls really! Who gives a **** about them.

 

The last one

comparing him to God - I'm offended, burn down the NME offices.

 

Lots of surprises there.

No, really. Not saying NME readers are sheep or anything.

 

ballads

he writes good ballads. in fact, he writes excellent ballads. to say it is worst album of the year is pathetic. typical nme populist snobbery. windy is right, he's good at what he does, it's just not to your taste. similar to when you started harping on about how dance music is terrible when you probably haven't a clue about it.

 

RE: Never understood why they do an award for "worst album"

Didn't an album win best and worst album one year.

I think one did in on of these award thingys?
