Zayn (1D) - outstanding contribution to music award, WTF?
Just heard about this
![]() ![]() http://www.nowmagazine.co.uk/celebri...lic-appearance I'm not a fan of 1D, I have nothing personal against them but to win something with a title like "Outstanding Contribution to Music" should be for artists who have been in the business much longer and what does Zayn actually do? ![]() Outstanding contribution should be for legends like Paul McCartney, Randy Newman, Elton John etc not simply someone who is popular and hasnt been around long. |

I'd wager that the Fifth Annual Asian Awards had rather slim pickings for candidates in that particular category.

SorryIt does seem odd though IMO. Just because youre a popular artist doesnt mean youve actually contibuted anything to music. |

I guess they had no one else to give it to, I mean, I can't think of a single UK artist who is Asian and also popular right now, maybe MIA?

Well if you can't think of anyone there really can't be anyone else can there! I mean I'm sure you are an expert in Asian music and obviously the only type of music that can make any outstanding contribution is chart friendly pop!

If this is so, why is he turning at an awards ceremony to accept an award for basically being handsome & not that talented?

Hmm how odd
But you can't really bash the young man. Bash the people behind the scenes who decide who wins these awards. |

I think awareness would have been a better word rather than contribution. He's made people aware that Asian people can achieve success. But what on earth has he contributed to music? It just feels like anyone could have been put in the same place and achieved the same results. If Simon hadn't stopped him from storming out of X-Factor bootcamp then things would be very different for him. Perhaps not much different for 1D though.

Yeah, I know what you mean
Outstanding contribution sounds over the top, imo.

Would you mind naming some of the highly succesful Asian musicians that have had the success he has had that this is a slap in the face to?
And you are insulting all other types of Asian music by assuming the only one that matters is pop! |

I admit when I posted the OP I didnt realise it was the Asian music awards, but still.
![]() Perhaps if he was making more authentic Asian music I could understand, but he's not. He's a young man of Asian origin in a successful pop band, thats all

no one, no matter what genre or style of musice they perform who has only been in the industry a couple of years should EVER win an outstanding contribution award.
And you are insulting all other types of Asian music by assuming the only one that matters is pop! I didn't mention anything about pop being the only one that matters?! |
