The Kaiser's were up for 6 awards and only won 1, The Arctic Monkeys scooped up the most with 3.

It is beyond me that they have voted the best radio show as this and not even put a mention in of radio 2 when it is the most popular and most listened to radio station in britain and several other places round the world I might add.
Are these events solely based around the younger generations (I know im only 22...) it seems like these 'awards' just dont reflect reality what-so--ever.

Oh I have just seen that maddonna has been voted sexiest woman!

Ahem, no comment...

Pete Doherty sexiest man!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus its nice to know that smack heads are held in such high regaurd, to say im disgusted is a huge understatement

[Adasunshine]

It's all based around what's "hapnin" and "the current scene".

Music awards - or any awards for that matter - rarely reflect public opinion. It's all about what the critics like and to be honest I, personally, can't stand most critics, most I know of and read are so up their own backsides and believe all their own hype, I hate that!!!

Zane does play good music although he himself can be quite irritating, it just depends if you're into that particular 'scene' or not!
