Geri Haliwell

[Adam]

tropher- are you a fan of the gallagher brother music??

adam

[MK Chris]

Hmm, difficult one. I used to hate Oasis, but now my opinion has changed of them and I quite like them, however, I wouldn't call myself a dedicated fan.

[Adam]

i can't see you voting for oasis either....

[Chief Erf]

Simon Cowell for Q Unwanted, because i hate the idea that you have to have a nasty guy for every thing

Nasty Nick
Nasty Nigel
Simon Cowell
The Guy in popstars 2
Next you'll have hate figures in programs like countryfile and songs of praise.

[Sidders]

lol that would be good!
They could have Horrible Herde, or Crabby Craven!!

[Uglybob]

I hate the Coral, that song sounds like Showaddywaddy.

[Adam]

hey- the coral are cool. saw them at finsbury park.. they were great. the front man wears the same bloody coat all the time. it was in their new video. proud mary and black rebel motorcycle club are also pretty good bands.

can't wait to one live in nottingham...

[Morals]

Marilyn Manson should win best video. Oais should win everything they're in, and Coldplay can go f*ck themselves, they desrve squat.

[Sidders]

I hate the Coral, that song sounds like Showaddywaddy.

I thought they sounded more like the strokes, with a different lead singer. I think that songs ace.

[ASG]

I'd say the first one's on each list are the ones I'd choose!

[Everlast]

Lets face it the Q awards are quite shit aren't they

[Uglybob]

Thats my only gripe with Q, they always try and be cool all the time. Its like now in 2002 its ok to knock Oasis and give them 2/5 for Heathen Chemistry, whereas in 2000 they gave SOTSOG 4/5, and that was a poor album.

[superwoman]

IMHO:

Best New Act - The Coral

Best Single - The Hives - 'Hate To Say I Told You So'

Best Video - Eminem - 'Without Me'

Best Producer - Moby - Moby '18'

Best Live Act - Oasis

Best Album - Doves - 'The Last Broadcast'

Best Act in the World Today - Oasis

Q Unwanted - Geri Haliwell

id have to disagree on a few of those! have you not heard the chilies album? or a rush of blood by coldplay?

i would just like to say, were there only three on the unwanted list? because i could think of a few more to go on there!

[Sidders]

Thats my only gripe with Q, they always try and be cool all the time. Its like now in 2002 its ok to knock Oasis and give them 2/5 for Heathen Chemistry, whereas in 2000 they gave SOTSOG 4/5, and that was a poor album.

Heathen Chemistry is quality! How could they only give it 2?
I agree with what you said, it's like the music channel used to be quality, and full of mainly indie music, but now it's full of loads of shit.

[odb983]

Marilyn Manson should win best video. Oais should win everything they're in, and Coldplay can go f*ck themselves, they desrve squat.

That's a bit harsh. I think Coldplay are inspirational and are still proving that they are quality. Oasis are fantastic, but have already proved that. Give C/play a chance

[superwoman]

I think Coldplay are inspirational and are still proving that they are quality.

i totally agree with this. are coldplay possibly one of the best bands ever. did you know that they have been recently compared to the beatles?

[ASG]

No but it doesn't surprise me! Their lead singer's a Christian did you know? I also like them because they're one of the few bands that has actually been bothered to come down and do a gig for us in Cornwall!

[Adam]

Surprise, Surprise- Oasis get naff all... what a b-itch
