MAD NEWS UK 
Is this nonsense still going on?
Janice you deliver the gossip to us, how can you not tune in? I’ll wait for the gossip here but will not tune in.
Oh, i’ll not tune in because of 2 reasons ie, scouting 4 girls and girls aloud.
what no nomination for Ty, I ain’t watching it then
Would Ty even accept an award from these chieftains?
no.. i wouldnt!!! and i have not had much music inside the uk in the last two years so i wouldnt deserve it anyhow!!! i skimmed thru the list!!! and thought .. why dont the bosses of all the comapnies just have a massive orgy and kill some refugees lamb calf as peace offering to the pagan gods…!!! and save us all a bloody lot of time!!! this isnt about music!!!..
I don’t blame you for not focusing your musical talents on this island. The charts are a load of rubbish not to mention rigged and all sorts of foolishness can make it to number one. If it isn’t a stupid frog on a motorbike, its a woolly puppet shaking his head in rage at the beat. Then again, it could be Bart Simpson.
I have to agree Ty, this is all to do with devil worship as the music is not even fit to be called that.
To be sincere, I always forget & end up watching random bits. The last bits I remember watching were KT Tunstall’s energetic performance & Prince with Sheila E drumming her crazy ass off. I enjoyed both sets.
