And so it's the time of year when the 2nd worst musical awards shortlist comes out (the 1st being the MTV 'European' Music Awards).

 

And it appears that the NME doesn't like Coldplay as the album is up for Worst-Album of the year award:

 

Britney Spears – 'Circus'

Coldplay – 'Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends'

Jonas Brothers – 'A Little Bit Longer'

Razorlight – 'Slipway Fires'

Scouting For Girls – 'Scouting For Girls'

 

Everybody get onto http://www.nme.com/awardsvote/21/ and vote for anyone else but Coldplay. I suggest Scouting for Girls ;)

They were only a stepping stone for greater things anyway. Plus if you're going to make a decent magazine make it glossy ;)

All the nominations came from the public, not NME itself.

 

What has happened here is; we've all been too busy voting for Guy and Chris in the sexiest male and forgot the actual awards. Whilst ateasers and Musers have been voting for themselves and against us en masse.

The public are on drugs

*rephrases title to read well it seems the readers of the NME don't like Coldplay*

:lol: Not sure which is worse

Scouting for Girls.

 

Cos elivs isn't dead, i've heard him on the radio

:stunned: omg seriously?? I guess it would make sense if it were voted by the public, but from a music magazine? they should know better.

The voting page should be live from midnight tonight on http://www.nme.com/awards so just log on and not vote for coldplay, but vote for someone else (like Scouting for Girls or maybe Britney)

OMG!!!!! This doesnt even make any sense!!!

i mean Viva La vida sold the most copies of CDs this entire year and what is wrong with these stupid ppl?! :veryangry2:

i don't mind too much because a lot of the things on the shortlist I don't like. At least Razorlight was on the worst list... what an overpackaged, overadvertised disappointment. Ugh.

 

But we all knew the polling was a bit skewed by people who were cheating (we witnessed it!) so... I won't read much into it.

 

Still though. Still.

 

thank goodness they nominated some good people for things- Radiohead, Vampire Weekend,. But putting Noel Gallagher in the heroes section? Ick.

HAHAHAHAAAHAMWAHAHA

The only thing coldplay were nominated for was the worst album!!!

Hey I liked Slipway Fires.

 

 

Lol.

 

:(

Public Vote? I always knew society was going backwards.

NME is a joke anyways.

Its a stupid award.Oasis got the noms for Best and Worst band Both!..... What the hell? Its gootta be a HUGE joke

The world just doesn't get Coldplay. It's a shame. :angry:

Funniest thing ever..

But really.. Only the grammy's are good nowadays

The other awards just plain suck, because people are just lame in this world:P

I've never even heard of NME untill i voted 5728945937 (give of take) for Chris as sexiest male

NME are gay anyway!!^

All the nominations came from the public, not NME itself.
