Called Alfie as the overall winner as soon as the list was announced. I will be SHOCKED if they go with someone else - he’s exactly what BBC Radio 1 love and will no doubt have a successful 2021 going by the quality of the music and the support so far

The Sound Of award may subvert our expectations. I remember back in 2016 when I was expecting Rag N Bone Man to win the Sound Of 2017.

Very unexpectedly Pa Salieu has won it! Very happy for him, even if I’m a bit disappointed for Alfie. Energy with Mahalia is such a good song in my opinion!

I wanted Bree Runway to win but still not winning doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world hoping she still breaks through big this year loved her music for a while now ! wub.gif

Oh, well that's rather shocking that Alfie isn't even in the top 5! Though having said that I would have been at least somewhat surprised at Pa Salieu missing the top 5 too. Still a good winner, have enjoyed what I have heard from Pa so far.

Woah wasn't expecting that!

I don't mind Pa Salieu from the little I've heard, not sure how successful he'll be in the mainstream though

Pa Salieu's songs sound quite catchy from the clips they played of them during the BBC News piece about his win of Sound of 2021.

I think he will be more successful as a singles chart artist than Celeste who won last year, who is more of an albums chart artist with her retro jazz and soul sound.

Pa Salieu has been charged with wounding with intent, violent disorder and possession of an offensive weapon in relation to a murder in 2018...

Oops, that's slightly embarrassing for the BBC...

That’s not great! Can’t imagine we’ll be hearing anymore of him for a while - at least on BBC radio stations.
