Even if Lily did play the guitar (which... she doesn't), there literally aren't any other women for her to compete with in that market? Yet if you look at the men, you've got James Bay, Ed Sheeran, Jack Garratt, Passenger, Hozier, Jamie Lawson... and that's before you've even left the UK and Ireland/got onto bands

Is the point that people just don't like guitars or is it that people don't like the boring generic "indie" songs that they play with it

Because I thought it was the latter

I like indie music but artists like James Bay aren't indie, they're pop artists masquerading as indie hipsters whose careers have a shorter shelf life than a carton of milk.

Just goes to show that these acts are as manufactored as your typical X Factor winner, they get dropped after one album to make room for the next generic man with a guitar.

There are White Girls With a Guitar out there.

They're normally in Rock Bands though like PVRIS.

And Lily Allen isn't one of them

Also shouldnt the likes of Little Mix be recognised more after proving time after time they are talented and have had hits all over the world? They are the ones who have missed out the most

I actually like the song in a guilty pleasure sort of way, but imo the only one that can sing is the one playing the Guitar, the others are just being treated like pieces of meat.

2 awards nobody cares about? They have been shunned from Best Group, Best Single and Best Album in which they should have been nominated
