Naomi Awards: celebrating the cackest of the cack in poop musak
This year's Naomi Awards - held around the time of The Brits to remind folk of the very worst that pop's had to offer over the last 12 months - have revealed that Westlife are the biggest losers of late to hang about our charts like a bad smell.
The Irish boyband claimed three awards this year: Worst International Group, Worst International Album and a special award for Outstandingly Bad Contribution To Music. The awards are organised by digital music channel, Music Choice.
Jessica Simpson, pictured, was 'honoured' with the title of Worst International Female Solo Artist, while Jack Johnson won Worst International Male Solo Artist.
Worst Urban Act was awarded to Ms Dynamite, and Worst International Breakthrough Act went the way of The Pussycat Dolls.
The Brits proper take place tonight. The aforementioned Irish outfit are up for Best Pop Act at the event, and have announced details of a party to celebrate their victory (thanks, The Sun). On problem: the winners haven't been announced yet, and bookies aren't confident Westlife will romp home, especially not with a certain Mr Blunt biting at their heels.
The full rundown of Naomi 'winners' looks like this:
Worst British Male Solo Artist: Lee Ryan
Worst British Female Solo Artist: Lisa Scott-Lee
Worst British Album: Steve Brookstein - Heart & Soul
Worst British Single: Lisa Scott-Lee - 'Electric'

wouldn't
it be more fun if they had a ceremony and they all graciously turned up?
The Pussycat Dolls are so bad
surely someone should do something about it.
..
Sterilisation?
Vocal cord removal surgery?
A hunting trip with Dick Cheney?
this should
have been so much funnier :( i.e. would a 'wish you had died this year' award a la nevermind the buzzcocks have been too controversial? or the golden noose award?
how is
lee ryan worse than james blunt?
thats a shocker.
No James Blunt?!
he should have 'scooped' at least 4 or 5 of those titles in my not-very-humble opinion
so
i'm not the only one who thoroughly despises Jack Johnson, then...
Am I the only pedant
that noticed the use of the word 'on' instead of 'one' in that article?
Hmm...
Usually these kind of things (like the Razzies) are spot on, but Jack Johnson being in there.... nah. There are far worse hanging around, surely?
Although, that said, I can't really name any solo artists who have made it big the in the UK who aren't home grown of recent years...
