.......for "You're Beautiful". :dead: :dead: :dead:

There is no hope for mankind anymore.

There really isn't. :thumbdown: :banghead: :rolleyes: :yawn:

And who were his nearest contemporaries who left the ceremony empty handed?

Coldplay of course.

But where was Keane?

thanks for breaking that! :laugh:

25 May 2006, 08:22

It's a pleasure! :evil4: :uhoh:

Although it's akin to saying that someone has died really innit?

25 May 2006, 08:24

Having said that, KT Tunstall and NO won. :bow:

25 May 2006, 08:37

I'd do KT anytime - love her voice mind..... :love2:

So, NO won too? (saw the thread on the other forum)

What song? "WFTSC" I hope - that's a great tune worthy of some recognition though you gotta agree.... :)

I only opened this thread in case the first post started with something along the lines of:

"...heated to a thousand degrees and then shoved deep into his anus."

Me too, still at least you made it worth the effort ;)

A couple of words missing there - I've taken the liberty of adding them.

Oh dear, time for me to show my arse on the Town Hall steps.

(Cambo when are you coming over???)

25 May 2006, 12:48

You're Beautiful has got to be the worst fucking song ever. It sounds like an American Idol reject. Are you sure this Ivor Novello award thing is prestigious?

Blunt sounds like Mickey Mouse. Or would that be Minnie :laugh:

Ivor Novello awards have been around a long time, one of the longest I think in Britain. Less kudos worldwide since the Brits, Grammys etc arrived.

When did the Grammys start, anyone?

Oh come on, what has KT Tunstall ever done to warrant an award of any sort? Warbled away with a bland acoustic guitar and an anonymous looking band backing her? She and her "records" were old news before she even hit the headlines. There's a reason they give out pipes and slippers at her gigs y'know (or so I'm told!).

Yawntastic! :yawn:

The amount of shite that gets nominated for this Ivor Novello award leads me to the conclusion that it's a worthless prize, with no offence to our NO heroes. I mean, wasn't Will Young awarded one year? I bet Robbie Williams was in there somewhere too.... and Kylie's arse.

Says it all really...

In case some of you folks missed it the first time round, have a look at this link....

Daniel Powter is awful. I accidentally winded up reviewing his album for my school's paper. His lyrics make Barney's seem intelligent. Sample: "This is my Renaissance/ This is my one response." And sung with all the vocal prowess of Coldplay.

27 May 2006, 07:27

Danile Powter?

Would you all consider me privileged and blessed for never ever having heard of this guy - let alone heard his music? :p

Maybe ignorance is bliss in this case?? ;)
