Take That have been nominated in the 'Best Live Act' category at this year's Q Awards.

 

I'd post a link to the voting bit but little point as Take That won't win it anyway ... I think Muse usually win anything that Q nominates them for. Although I've just noted they're not in the 'best live act' category - I thought they'd toured? I suppose it leaves the door wide open for U2 then. Oh please ... anything but U2! Still ... its nice for Q to include TT in such good company. As TT won't win ... I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Coldplay.

 

As long as U2 don't win!

They are so predictible with their nominations for Oasis and U2. They can release any weak material and still get the awards.

I am a fan more of the old U2, this new album is weak, IMO....

 

Muse wil lwin this they always do but they are good live, it would be a lovely surprise if Take That managed to break the trend though wouldnt it

I heard Muse for the first time today! I've probably heard them before and not realised it. I really like their new single ... but ... and I don't mean this in a nasty way ... it has a very 'old-fashioned' 80's feeling to it. If I had been locked away for a few years and someone played me that song ... I'd swear it was Ultravox.

Im a huge muse fan i must admot and their albums have always being consistantly good in my opinion, yes i agree the new single has an 80's feel to it and its a little different from previous offerings from them but i like it at the same time.

Muse won big, TT nothing, Arctic Monkeys bag the live act. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showb...t-Q-Awards.html

 

TT should try to break America, perhaps they would have there more recognition :rofl:

 

I was impressed that Take That were even nominated by Q - never seriously expected them to win though.

 

As far as trying to crack the States though ... you are joking! They can't even get a foothold in Europe! :lol:

Sometimes is easier to get a foot in USA as in EU. Very smug the musical industry in old Europe - one you have a labell you have it for ever :rolleyes:

Mind you ... even Westlife have conquered Europe (well much more than Take That have!) :lol: Maybe the Europeans have got it right ... maybe Westlife are better than Take That!

 

Edit - seriously when you look at Westlife's discographies/chart histories - they have actually sold a lot more than Take That! I mean ... I know Westlife are crap but you have to hand it to them ... when it comes to selling crap big time ... those boys do the business! They have actually had a few hits in the States (on various charts).

I must confess, before i got interested in the TT mark 2, i haven't heard about Westlife , so i don't know how successful they are in Germany or Romania :naughty: .

 

I think Westlife is an innofensive vocal group and they should sell how much they want. But they don't put a mark on the music map and in 20 years time no one will know who they were...
