WTF? Leona and Britney worst album? They aren't even Indie artists, why don't they stick to their style of music.

Kate Nash best solo artist? Give me a break.

You may not like Kate Nash Mark but I think she is a very talented songwriter.

Hahaha as per usual


Also, if Arctic Monkeys win anything I'm gonna kick myself in the teeth - I hate them so much!

Also, Mark, NME isn't an 'indie' magazine. It's a magazine dedicated to New Music, hence the name - and was originally described as a pop music magazine as it focuses on charts.

Oh, Wiki it said "the awards reflect the magazine's indie ethos, in contrast to the BRIT Awards' more commercial nature" so I figured Indie.

To be fair, a large amount of their music is indie-related - but they do a lot of Hip-Hop reviews and all sorts of new music.
