Howdy guys (and gals) *waves* =) Well, let me do a rough intro of myself first. Am the new addition to the team as an editor. I go by the moniker of Rickified, aka G.U.M.M.Y. Why this strange nickname you might have asked. It stands for [G]eeky [U]nderrated [M]usic [M]aestro [Y]uppie.
(Loves the Gummy Berries at Loof) =) The reason for this nick is because though mainstream Top 40 songs usually have catchy hooks that'll grab you immediately, some songs are worthy of being in the Top 40 too and being overlooked upon. Like some tracks from the album that's worthy of being singles but never released. That's my designation i guess. =) I would also would be doing album reviews in a critic point of view for most major releases, introduce new music artistes to look out for and have commentary on music which is worth listening. =) Comments are mostly definitely welcome.. =) Now on with my very first post!!!
Here's the Entire List of the Brit Awards 2009 Nominees (And the Winners)
British Male Solo Artist Ian Brown James Morrison Paul Weller - Winner The Streets Will Young British Female Solo Artist Adele Beth Rowley Duffy - Winner Estelle M.I.A. British Group Coldplay Elbow - Winner Girls Aloud Radiohead Take That British Single Coldplay - 'Viva La Vida' Duffy - 'Mercy' Girls Aloud - 'The Promise' - Winner Leona Lewis - 'Better In Time' Scouting For Girls - 'Heartbeat' British Album Coldplay - Viva La Vida Duffy - Rockferry - Winner Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid Radiohead - In Rainbows Ting Tings - We Started Nothing British Breakthrough Act Adele Duffy - Winner The Last Shadow Puppets Scouting For Girls Ting Tings British Live Act Coldplay Elbow Iron Maiden - Winner Scouting For Girls The Verve International Male Solo Artist Beck Neil Diamond Jay-Z Kanye West - Winner Seasick Steve International Female Solo Artist Beyoncé Gabriella Cilmi Katy Perry - Winner Pink Santogold International Group AC/DC Fleet Foxes The Killers Kings of Leon - Winner MGMT International Album AC/DC - Black Ice Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes The Killers - Day & Age Kings of Leon - Only By The Night - Winner MGMT - Oracular Spectacular Critics' Choice Award Florence and the Machine Outstanding Contribution to Music Pet Shop Boys
I was hoping James Morrison would win for the British Male Solo Artist Award. The vibe of his album is good and I like his collabo with Nelly Furtado which is still on the UK chart going strong. As for British Female Solo, I favored M.I.A but Duffy is good enough. =) Duffy also won for British Album and British Breakthrough act, which coincidentally The Ting Tings are up for this two awards. The Tings Ting should have won British Breakthrough though. For the rest, the winners are not really surprising though. For International Group and International Album, it's a close fight between The Killers, MGMT and Kings of Leon. I'm fine with all 3, but MGMT stands out for me. =) Would intro them soon. =) For performances and more, click here
