Elbow won.

[spiderman]

he didnt win. i locked off as soon as i herd elbow lol.tbh i dnt watch dese award things (was only watchin cos of burial), and i cant comment on the other albums or artists cos the only person ive herd besides burial is adele.but blatently they decided they couldnt pick him cos he didnt want the attention that goes with the award and didnt turn up.

[The Facilitator]

Well da guy did say the only way Burial aint winning is because he aint there

[Trilliam]

If he turned up he would've won.You can't have an award ceremoney with no one to give the award too simple facts.

Although, I heard with the Mecurys the artist has to submit their own work for consideration, so some people (on dubstepforum, I believe) have argued that if he didn't want the attention, he shouldn't have submitted.On the other hand, if that's why the judges didn't pick him, it is petty and defeats the purpose of judging work based on how good they are.

Anyway, the song Elbow are playing sounds boring.

It might have been the label that submitted it.

So what were they gonna do; just stand up and clap at a montage of his vids on the screen. Could have atleast done a pre recorded video wearing a mask or something. It's an Award Show.

Which part are you referring to? It's my belief that if an artist has reached the nomination stage, the judges should judge the music rather than the persona of the artist. I do agree that he could have done a video or have someone like Kode9 come up, although he may have had something like that anyway, but we never saw because he won.@Wavesurfer, that's what I heard (or at least read online, so I even I can't vouch for my statement, lol).

[spiderman]

tbh its nt such a bad thing.let the media stay ignorant, its their loss and ppl who get burials music dont want dem ambushing him anyways, as thats what would of happened if he had won.

I had my money on Neon Neon and it had nothing to do with the fact they were rocking our Lego Brick Chains to the Mercury Awards either http://www.royalartistclub.com/neonneon

I thought Elbow would win. Musically I much preferred Burial. Some of the sh*t I think about when i'm red and listening to his album is unreal. Elbow's album has some deep lyrics though. Estelle was never going to win as John Legend and Kanye were the ones mainly responsible for the album.
