Early Discussion on the 20 Quid...

[camcallister]

So who can we potentially see as nominees already?

For Sure:
Biology - Girls Aloud

Possibly:
Red Dress - Sugababes
I Said Never Again (But Here We Are) - Rachel Stevens
No 1 - Goldfrapp
Robbie Williams - Tripping


Any others? I know I haven't thought of too many.

[Fax Mactor]

I wish Rihanna was British.

[Greg]

Is Barbados part of the Commonwealth?

Does that even count?

It should do really. Though if it did, then Kylie's long overdue £20 or so I'd imagine. And then of course the gates are open for the Rogue Traders too.

Did I miss something? Or do you mean the Sugababes song?

[Fax Mactor]

Haha, i never even noticed that.

Not very observant am i.

[Booers]

There's no point in even having a shorlist - just give Cheryl, Kimberley, Nadine, Nicola and Sarah £4 each and save a whole load of debating.

[camcallister]

Yes, I meant Sugababes... woops.

[Steveweiser]

Does LDN by Lily Allen count for this?

[Kirkland]

If it doesn't then it HAS to be Biology. Or Push The Button, which is better than Red Dress. Red Dress is still a mighty pop song! But for me, Push The Button is something else.




Unless Push The Button doesn't count in some obscure way?

[coxy1979]

2 horse race between Biology and Push The Button surely.

[coxy1979]

And if 'You Raise Me Up' doesn't get the worst single award, I will cry. A lot.

[ttoby]

Well get your tips from the Chart of Truth I'd say... so Red Dress is up there for sure. Who Am I aswell, maybe?

[Fax Mactor]

Who Am I is rubbish, i dont see the point on entering it when Sugababes and Girls Aloud piss all over that dreary snorefest that is Will Young!

[Popjustice.com]

The nomination process will change this year.

[Fax Mactor]

Details soon?

[Kirkland]

Oh....

This has my interest piqued. Why the sudden change Mr PJ? Is it to make the voting fairer and give lesser pop acts a chance to win or is it for a reason totally different?

[tOMMYp3]

Lily Allen will win it. Surely?

[Popjustice.com]

There are a few reasons. More details soon.

[Fax Mactor]

I'm sure there will be a new rule which states that if your name is Rihanna you are eligible for the PJ £20/$37.20 music prize.

[Kirkland]

If that is true then SOS has a very good chance. I'd be torn over the voting...if I'm eligible to vote in the first place.

[ilkw]

I don't know any rules from past or previous but I hope Rachel wins it. I Said Never Again (But Here We Are) is/was the best song of 2005.

[canuckfuck]

Regarding Rhianna and S.O.S, (even though I don't see the big deal about this song; it's okay, but blah at the same time) I think a 'Commonwealth' prize is a good idea. Maybe change the prize money to the currency of the commonwealth country. So if a Canadian artist were to win 'the best' (haha ... that makes me giggle) it would only cost PJ £9.72! If they were to win 'the worst' it would cost the Canadian artist $41.15 CAD. I vote Avril Latrine for 'the worst'. That bitch needs to pay!

Surely Advetising Space, while not being great, is better than Tripping.

[Steveweiser]

Muse need to take the "obligitory rock band spot" for Supermassive Black Hole.

[camcallister]

PJ, will we get another fantastic megamix of all the nominees?

[Kirkland]

McSleazy is a genius. I've been trying to get my friends at Tronic to hire him for their monthly club (they do all sorts of electro in Glasgow) but I don't know how it's progressing.


Anyhoo...depending on how the voting works it's really an open race between a few pop acts as far as I'm concerned.

[diamond doggie bag]

Well, if Commonwealth countries become eligible then so should American divas married to dodgy British film directors.
