BEST MUSIC VIDEO

WINNER... Fancy by Iggy Azalea & Charli XCX (15 votes)



Human by Christina Perri (7 votes)
Blank Space by Taylor Swift (6 votes)
Shake It Off by Taylor Swift (6 votes)

Iggy wins her second award tonight, and for the same song! Fancy’s brilliant video is inspired by one of the best films of all time, Clueless <3 Human is a surprise second placer perhaps, but the video is very effective and consistent with the message of the song. Taylor again has two nominations here, but both bring up the rear despite being acclaimed videos.

BEST FANBASE NAME



WINNER… Beyonce’s Beyhive (16 votes)

Katy Perry’s Katycats (5 votes)
Taylor Swift’s Swifties (5 votes)
Leah McFall’s Giants (4 votes)
Justin Bieber’s Beliebers (3 votes)


QUEEN B’S BEYHIVE SLAY YAASSS!!!!!!11!!11! All of these names are quite clever, and they cover many people (except Leah, as the “Giants” failed to take her wonderful song top 40 and the name isn’t a clever pun or related to her name). The continuing buzz (*badoom tssk*) around Bey’s album release from December 2013 made sure the Beyhive had lots to be excited over in 2014.

Still not sure how Leah is getting more than one vote

BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE

WINNER… THE COMMON LINNETS - CALM AFTER THE STORM (EUROVISION 2014) (8 votes)



Sia - Chandelier (Ellen) (5 votes)
Little Mix - Salute (Britain’s Got Talent) (4 votes)
Sam Smith - Like I Can (The X Factor UK) (2 votes)
Beyonce - Drunk In Love (Grammys) (2 votes)
Cheryl - Crazy Stupid Love (Britain’s Got Talent) (2 votes)
Fifth Harmony - BO$$ (The X Factor UK) (2 votes)
Nicki Minaj - Anaconda (VMAs) (2 votes)
Selena Gomez - The Heart Wants What It Wants (AMAs) (2 votes)
Ella Henderson - Ghost (Britain’s Got Talent) (1 vote)
Justin Timberlake - Various (The 20/20 Experience World Tour) (1 vote)
Taylor Swift - Shake It Off (VMAs) (1 vote)
Taylor Swift - Shake It Off (BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge) (1 vote)
John Legend - All Of Me (X Factor UK) (0 votes)
Katy Perry - Dark Horse (BRIT Awards) (0 votes)
Lola Saunders - Imagine (The X Factor UK) (0 votes)
Nicki Minaj - Anaconda (AMAs) (0 votes)
Taylor Swift - Shake It Off (The X Factor UK) (0 votes)

The Common Linnets are perhaps a surprise winner, but they lead this saturated pack. Even in the week of Eurovision, nobody would have ever thought that the song would do as well as it did, but it placed second following a stunning performance and made the UK top 10 ohmy.gif Being a song from the Eurovision luck black hole The Netherlands, and a country song, it’s all the more astounding! Other notable cotenders came from Sia’s unconventional Ellen performance in which turned away from the audience and Little Mix’s Salute, which was a standout Britain’s Got Talent perofmance that really brought the song alive.


WORST LIVE PERFORMANCE

WINNER>>IDINA MENZEL & MICHAEL BUBLE - BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE (THE X FACTOR UK) (12 votes)



Cheryl - I Don’t Care (The X Factor UK) (9 votes)
Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You (Rockerfeller Center) (6 votes)
Labirinth - Jealous (The X Factor UK) (4 votes)
Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass (The X Factor UK) (2 votes)

And on the oppoiste end of the scale, an X Factor UK saturated category is won by Idina Menzel! Her performance on the X Factor semi final was sold by “special guest” Michael Buble, but the two seemed unrehearsed and like drunk karaoke! But at least the visuals from the man crush Michael Buble distracted me kink.gif Cheryl is just three votes behind with a mimed performance of I Don’t Care, and shockingly even further behind is the infamously flat Mariah perofmance with not a note in key! Two other X Factor perofmances bring up the rear.

ULTIMATE POP MOMENT OF 2014

WINNER... BRITNEY SPEARS' SCOOTER VIDEO ON INSTAGRAM / INSTAGRAM MOMENTS (12 votes)



Taylor Swift selling over a million of 1989 in the first week in the US and smashing various records (10 votes)
Cheryl achieving her record-breaking 5th #1 with I Don't Care (6 votes)
Taylor Swift's web stream to announce 1989 and subsequent music video and on-air/on-sale digital release of Shake It Off (5 votes)

Our final award winner is Britney Spears, who didn't even release anything in 2014! Slay. This is mostly down to her iconic scooter video on Instagram, which can be seen above. I have no idea what's so funny about it but I can't stop watching laugh.gif Amazing. Taylor Swift just falls short of ending the night with another award, as her 1989 first week slayage is two votes behind Britney. Cheryl's fanbase struggles to match up to this top 2, whilst Taylor's web stream to reveal the 1989 era and the lead single Shake It Off gets only half the votes of her other 2014 event.

No worries! That was one of the rounds I was most interested in as it's harder to tell unreleased tracks' popularity compared to much of the other more predictable rounds smile.gif

Walking On Air isn't even that good for me sad.gif Legendary Lovers would've been choice if she had another single.

Thanks for hosting Liam!
