Snub!
The nominations for the Brit Awards are announced this very evening. If you’re a Susan Boyle fan, don’t even bother getting excited about the possibility of your heroine scooping the Best Album award.
Don’t cross your fingers over the Boylster receiving the Best Single award for her emasculation of Wild Horses and don’t flex your grin-muscles in preparation for her lifting the Best Female Artist trophy.
Reports leaking out of the Brits camp signal that Boyle’s been overlooked in every category.
The Daily Mail (naturally) report that a source has said:
‘She’s not even shortlisted for Best Female, even though that’s usually the weakest category.
‘And it’s not just an attack on Susan. It also shows how Simon Cowell is regarded by many in the record business.’
But seriously – did Susie fans really expect a Boyle bonanza would attract the target audience? Even jaded music and television fans like me tune in to the ceremony on the off-chance that some pissed-up celebrity will make an idiot of themselves on stage, but if Cowell-generated acts as bland as Boyle were shortlisted, the remote chance of any anarchy kicking in would be neutered beyond any hope of revival.
You might just as well get Ant & Dec to host and have every act compete for their award, as Morgan and Holden look on, poised over a red buzzer.

Bah, the Brits haven’t been good since that one off of Carter USM smacked Pip Schofield one.
And come to think about it, that was on the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party.
Or was it the Brits when Jarvis Cocker mooned Michael Jackson? That was alriight.
MORNING!
I went to see A Prophet yesterday. It’s brilliant. It’s got Anthony Worral Thompson in it, playing Groutie.
Let’s all vote for SuBo anyway. All you have to do is to wait for the election, and then write her name in on the ballot form and put an X against it – that way your vote will be counted.
I don’t know about anyone else, but my vote is heading Jedwardward come the election.
If only we could vote for Jedwardward Woodward.
It’s taken me 2 and a half hours to get to work this morning.
Could people stop crashing please?
Good morning!!!
Are you lot not experiencing the great thaw then? Or were they crashing due to ineptitude at the wheel?
Susan Boyle and Jedward having a threesome?
My work here is done…
*packs away smut gun and walks off into the setting sun*
It’s an absolute disgrace that I’m no longer considered to present these awards. I were great.
Mick – you and Sam Fox were the biggest joke in a long history of joke presenters.
That really was in the wilderness years of the Brits, wasn’t it?
Sam Fox. Now she’s a real fox isn’t she! By which I mean she’s an urban vermin, pawing through your bins and she really ought the be eliminated…
I didn’t see what was wrong with Mick and Sam presenting the show. It was more fun to watch than when that wazzock Chris Evans presented it.
Good morning…….
Have I mentioned that my new and fantastic podcast is available?
I put a WWM jingle in it that doesn’t sound like an Adam & Joe one…
Nick – Sorry, I forgot to reply to your e-mail. The answer’s ‘whatever’, done in a surly voice with a shrug of my shoulders.
Good oh.
I am orf to your blog to harvest them
Whatever, Nick, whatever …
Is everyone dead today?
I am dead everyday, Nappers
I can only vouch for myself, but I’m not dead.
*checks*
Yep, not dead.
You’re being too quiet. It’s unsettling.
*is unsettled*
Did anyone see the telly last night. That thing was quite good wasn’t it, you know, with the people in it.
can anyone tell me why my SQL statement isn’t working?
oohh, actually, Did anyone see Bill Bailey’s Bird Watching Bonanza? I’d review it if I thought i’d be allowed…
it was good
I didn’t see the telly last night, Mr. Green. Was wot’s ‘is name in it? Y’know? Him off of that thing with ‘er in it?
Yer he was in it, that was a good guess. But then I guess he’s in almost everything these days isn’t he! There was a bit with some mucky fat tits that was good…
I can’t find your bloody cartoon blog!!!
It’s on google under bpperry illustration, Nick. I would link to it, but I can’t get the link to things box to pop up today. No doubt this is Bill Gates’s fault, the four-eyed bastard.
What’s up with your SQL Mr Green?
Ahh, I was searching under your full name…
It was a comma, Fourstar, that had gone rogue and hidden itself in an effort to foil my plans of data retrieval. I eliminated it with extreme prejudice.
and the data flows……. ahh, data…….
I hate my job
Is that a Napoleon doodle?
