michael Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 So 'Antony and the Johnsons' have been nominated for the 'British male solo artist' prize at the Brit awards.... eh? 1. Doesn't the 'and the Johnsons' bit indicate that he's not a solo artist? 2. He's been out of Britain for years and years - surely he's pretty much American now? 3. Is he a male? Should the industry be allowed to decide the nominations? Surely it's just a way of gaining free publicity for their latest 'big thing'?

Alex Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Didn't Belle and Sebastien do something similar...ie nothing but got an award. It's yet another crock of shite. There are way too many award ceremonies...how much attention do these people need? Is it not enough that millions listen to their music or watch their movies. God I hate the media for creating (and the way they destroy) celeb's. But yes it's hardly a solo act but yet nominated for a solo award...twats.

Class One Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Anthony & Johnsons .......WTF??? Bloke sounds like he's got his testicles in a vice!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Yep according to their website 'Antony and the Johnsons' are by their own admission a New York based 'BAND'...... But then they did win the Mercury Music Prize so i guess that make 'them' anything the record industry want them to be?! Does anyone actually take the Brit awards seriously these days? Or infact any award ceremonies?? The one that made me laugh with the Brit awards was a few years ago Atomic Kitten being nominated for 'best newcomer' and they'd already had two albums out, been in our faces for god knows how long and already had a change of band member....Newcomer? FFS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lust2luv Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Dido got nominated for "best newcomer", when she'd already won "best female" the previous year! LMAO. Oh and didn't Kate Bush get nominated for "best female" when she hadn't made an album for years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
