Dubby Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Yeah yeah, I know. You don't care about the MOBOs and haven't for years. But this topic is always a good ground to start discussion on the representation of black music in the media, and black music in general. So here's the nominees: BEST NEWCOMER in association with Lebara Mobile ED SHEERAN WRETCH 32 JESSIE J RIZZLE KICKS EMELI SANDE JAMIE WOON YASMIN ALEX CLARE LOICK ESSIEN MAVERICK SABRE BEST UK ACT in association with Capital FM ADELE CHASE & STATUS CHIPMUNK EXAMPLE JESSIE J KATY B N - DUBZ WRETCH 32 THE STREETS TINIE TEMPAH BEST UK HIP HOP / GRIME ACT GIGGS RIZZLE KICKS TINIE TEMPAH WILEY WRETCH 32 BEST VIDEO CHIPMUNK ft. CHRIS BROWN – CHAMPION JESSIE J – DO IT LIKE A DUDE RIZZLE KICKS – DOWN WITH THE TRUMPETS TINCHY STRYDER Ft. DAPPY – SPACESHIP WILEY – NUMBERS IN ACTION BEST INTERNATIONAL ACT ALEXIS JORDAN ALOE BLACC BEYONCE BRUNO MARS CEE LO GREEN JASON DERULO NICKI MINAJ RIHANNA SNOOP DOGG WIZ KHALIFA BEST SONG ADELE – SOMEONE LIKE YOU CHASE & STATUS ft.

Saying that, why is Ed Sheeran listed? because he got brought through by a black guy (SBTV)? And I thought people was saying this was Kartel's year? So... what's you lot's take on it? / djlogansama I dunno why the Mobos got rid of the 'Best Person called Tim Westwood' award. I think it is important to recognise DJs.

time_bomb Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 aint watched this for a couple years plus, i like the emilie sade tune so hope she gets best newcomer, wretch has put out couple decent pop tunes aswell lately so i guess he should win couple awards, apart from that who cares i wont be watching it anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afroman Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Ed sheran shouldn't be on that list, Best RnB. Whats Adele doing on that list? I wouldn't class her stuff as Rnb What as Omar put out this year? Dionne Bromfield Ridding Amy winehouse coat tail.. Might as well call it M.O.M.O.. (music of Multicultural Origin)..This is where it seems to be heading. I will like to see a separate award from African acts (Afrobeat). Its expanding globally .. For views & High 5 reviews & sponsors. I guess its a wise move for for the likes of Adele to clear up on the night.. On a positive note . Last year was a good watch seeing many uk acts coming through 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soz bro, shall we say it's a great set of nominations that accurately reflect what the MOBOs represent as an awards show?
