John Newmans is the worst for me sounds like he is dying every time he sings (guess I dont like John Newman..)
something wooden about Sam Smith for me, he is not a natural performer and a boring choice for this award, they will realise their mistake when Chance blows up this year |

it's just the icing on the cake really why I do not put up with BBC Radio. There're either the fossils on BBCR2 who think Keane make ****ing exciting music, the paid-to-have-these-opinions accent brigade on R1 with their fixation on what will make the most money and be the most successful, and the other stations are either too irrelevant (4) or too insignificant to have a say (6, 1xtra).
the whole institution is just made up of safe, bribed arseholes slapping each other on the back and it stinks. they could give a rat's ass about what actual talent and innovation looks like; as long as the candidate is British, signed to a top label and already having tonnes of advertising and promo poured down their throats, they'll win.

It's like Shaun says though; BBC Radio 1 controls what the public listens to because it's the BBC's flagship station. It decides what's in, it decides what's cool, so if the BBC makes a statement that "these 5 artists are going to be successful in 2014" then you know they are guaranteed to over play those artists on the radio and nine times out of ten, the public bites and that's the radio claimed another successful "breakthrough" of a new artist. On paper that surely isn't a bad thing - but then you realise that it is a bad thing, because these artists have been pimped by record labels to get this far and the BBC is pimping them out further.
How often have we seen an artist get all their singles played from their first album and then completely ignored by the BBC? What happened to Alexandra Burke, Pixie Lott, Duffy, Razorlight, The Kooks, The Ting Tings and all these other artists that Radio 1 was in love with a few years ago? Dropped like a bag of sick. Radio 1 is more concerned with its hipster leaning and being able to say it broke all these new artists through into the mainstream; and then throwing them to the kerb when they're finished with them. These people didn't become any less talented, Radio 1 simply decided that it didn't want to play them anymore, so all the other radio stations fell in line because who wants to be playing yesterday's news? It's why there haven't been any legends produced in the UK for at least two decades. Name one 90s icon that still gets regular support from Radio 1? They wouldn't even play Robbie bloody Williams and the guy's still managing to secure hits without them from years of building up a loyal fanbase. There sure as hell won't be anyone from the 2000s getting support from them down the line because that's when Radio 1's policy of only playing what's "hot and fresh" kicked in. The flaw, of course, being that they decide what's hot and fresh. The public don't have any say anymore. We should be given a variety of music to listen to; not a playlist of the same set number of songs that somebody in a suit has dictated to us. **** Radio 1. |
