Title: Mercury Music Prize

Antony & The Johnsons  :shock:

I've never even heard of them. The band are from New York but the frontman was born in Chichester but has lived in the US for 20 years! Harsh.

I've got today off, Monday and Tuesday were just induction days and everyone's off today, I start tomorrow.

Don't know what subjects I'm doing yet really, I've got to wait until next week to see if the schools will accept me because I haven't got the required GCSE results. The college don't mind but if I don't get accepted into the schools I won't be able to do English Language and Photography :/

No idea who my teachers are, my form tutor is Kay Collett though...

I read the result and downloaded it out of interest.  Its absolutely awful ! Its almost like a comedy sketch where some clown who is tone deaf but thinks he can sing gives it his all ! I've heard some utter shite in my time, but this has got to be the worst !

I like Antony and the Johnsons. Hope there's someone is a quality song. He has a very unique voice.

The mercury music prize is the only music award that actually means anything unlike the brits etc. which are utter shite.

I think he's a deserving winner although bloc party are unlucky.

that song is absolute bollocks! jo whiley's been playing it all week & it gets worse every time i hear it! agree with NMH it sounds like some kind of tone-deaf retard trying to sing a mariah carey song.

whiley had an interview with him this morning too, he sounded like david walliams.

Who the fuck are these cunts!?, typical lovey dovey awards where they feel a need to be a bit controversial by picking someone hardly anybody has heard of!. :evil:

I think that is a good thing though, they always pick the album they like, rather than the one the industry wants them to pick. Doesn't matter what genre it is. Roni Size and Dizzee Rascal have won it and so has PJ Harvey. And crap albums don't get nominated you never get talentless idiots like Robbie Williams getting a nominaton and that is why it is the only decent music award.
