Love it, I knew there would be responses like this. I believe that the MOWO awards are also known as the Brits. Plus it's music of black ORIGIN, not music by black people. Whites have won at the MOBOs too.

Yet as a result of white singers being nominated, Estelle launched into this:Regards,
Telegraph article said:
However, the inclusion of two white artists will fuel the debate started by another nominee, Estelle, when she complained about the over-promotion of white singers performing black music.
"I'm not mad at them, but I'm wondering - how the hell is there not a single black person in the press singing soul?" she asked in an interview published in March. "Adele ain't soul. She sounds like she heard some Aretha records once, and she's got a deeper voice - that don't mean she's soul. That don't mean nothing to me in the grand scheme of my life as a black person."

It's a very telling statement I think. Many black people have an attitude like this and are in fact very racist.
ts.We could retitle this 'The (Annual) MOBO Thread' or something like that.
But what's the point in the whole thing? Nearly all western popular music is ultimately of black American origin. And if us honkeys can be nominated then great - but then what is the point? Or is the music too st to make it to the Brits?
Nope. The same tracks & the same artists appear there as well. Well, those that are good, or perhaps more accurately, successful enough do.
Same argument for any Black this or White that.
except that there are no socially acceptable White this or that

WAAAY too much "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Big up, Big up, this goes out to ma brother from another mother, cuss, cuss, North London big up. Why do people have to act like that? If that was their act then fine but can't they just talk properly? I'd respect them so much more if they string a normal sentence together. AND NO! it is not just black people that do it just look at that stupid old tt Westwood...He's 50 FFS!!
Though it is good to see Leona Lewis pick up a few gongs.
Is it me or does everybody's videos look the same? Women and Supercars they can't afford.
Mercury Awards = Good
MOBO = Horse st
