The MOBO's are an absolute joke. Not only are most of the nominees terrible but the fat that they pride themselves on diversity but yet bands like Bloc Party who are head and shoulders above the nominees and whose lead singer is a member of Black origin are not even recognized despite the fact that most guitar music was of black origin is just ignorant and hypocritical. The organizers, despite trying to quash notions of ignorance and break down barriers are actually ignorant themselves which is why this awards show will never be taken seriously.

NME, Q, the Brits, would all cater to the indie/rock crowd. So what is the problem with this one awards show which caters to Hip-Hop/R'n'B/Reggae etc which those award shows don't. |

FFS by your reckoning every awards show from the NME's to the Q awards to The Brits will be awarding Music Of Black Origin. Yes we know a long long time ago the blacks invented something called rock and roll but this is 2009.

It's the argument that is inevitable every time the subject of the MOBOs is raised.

doesn't MOBO awards stand for either Music Of Black Origin or Member Of Black Origin... either way guitar music from black people that indulge in it (and there are) should be credited if we are to believe this award show supports diversity. I don't know what your problem is

I know, I don't actually feel that way, just pointing out people genuinely want it
![]() I think if it was renamed, they would gain a lot of hip-hop and urban music viewers who find race politics discomforting. |

this is just part of the reason why the whole thing is a farce. Its MOBO's member of black origin but there's white nominees... but then it could be Music Of Black Origin but Lady Gaga is nominated. its just another award show that just cant be taken seriously.

My problem is that there are plenty of other awards catering for guitar music that you complain about not being on the mobo's. Would it be ok for you if Hip-Hop and such like started taking over (for example) the NME awards?

Just because it is "music of black origin" does not mean White musicians/singers who perform that sort of music can't be recognised. If that was the case Eminem wouldn't get a look in and he's one of the best rappers out there.

but I've seen people like Kanye West, Eminem and Jamie T pick up NME Awards before and no ones complained... but in saying that award shows like NME and Q don't put on a front of celebrating diverse styles of music and culture whereas in interviews with the MOBO's organizer she claims to support this notion, however she isn't really practicing what she preaches. The whole ethos of the MOBO's to begin with was to celebrate achievements by black people in music but I'm not seeing this at all. Its turned into another superficial, commercial event The NME Awarsd and Q Awards are irrelevant to that argument.

You've mentioned Kanye West, Eminem and Jamie T. As far as I know only one or those is black. Your original complaint was that rock music is not recognised by the mobo's despite it having (a very long time ago) black origins. My point is that several other award shows cater for this type of music.

Rubbish, every other awards show is open to any decent artist. Care to name how many awards Leona Lewis, Kanye West, Rihanna, Black Eyed Peas etc have won, and other black/mixed race artists??

You said would I like it if Hip Hop took over NME or Q awards, so I mentioned the artists that I did. This showed that to an extent they do so why can't the MOBO's do the same to an extent. my point again is that while other award shows don't boast about diversity they still practice it to an extent. So I felt that its quite ironic that an award show that does boast about it doesn't really practice it i.e the MOBO's.

Having said that, the MOBOs are shite, just not for the reasons you state |

I'm looking forward to watching this; I hope JLS win the two awards they're up for.
I know that Diversity are performing, but I'm not sure about who else is. |

LOL look at the shortlists, there's only about 2 names in the whole thing that deserve any kind of reward.
Music awards are not really rewards for music these days anyway, of the people that genuinely deserve to be rewarded, there's a 99.9% chance that none of them will get one, it will go to the most popular. The names ''best rnb act' 'best uk act' etc should be changed to 'most popular rnb act' and 'most popular uk act' because the practice of rewarding the best acts and not the most popular seemed to have ended about 10 years ago. And the acts which are decided by online votes, well you should just forget about them, they should be renamed ''artists with the most crazy fans' because that's all they'll ever be. |

I actually find the MOBOS A) Rubbish and B) Very racist.
If there was a music of white origin, all hell would break lose and we know it. |

Hopefully Alexandra wins the award she's nominated for - because there is seriously a lack of talent in the nominees above. But I have no doubt that JLS will win because their fans (well, most of them) seem to have a lot of time on their hands.
And the reason they have this award is because the Brits don't cater to R&B/Hip-Hop, which was proven when Beyonce didn't win Best International Artist and lost to Gabrielle Cilmi. |
