MTV has named the ten new acts it will be getting behind in 2011, with a typically varied list that includes US teen star Willow Smith, British soul singer Jamie Woon, grime MC Wretch 32 and songwriter and producer Labrinth.

 

The list is completed by Clare Maguire, Jessie J, Far East Movement, Ruff Diamondz, The Vaccines and Mona.

 

The broadcaster marked the occasion with a gig last night at London’s Koko venue featuring Tinie Tempah – who featured on last year’s 10 for 10 list – Labrinth and Wretch 32.

 

 

All ten acts will now receive a push from MTV UK and Ireland, including on-air promotion and cross platform and editorial support throughout 2011.

 

UK audiences will then be invited to choose their favourite of the ten acts via mtv.co.uk/brandnew from January 4, with the ultimate winner announced on February 1. Last year Justin Bieber won the viewers’ vote.

 

“We had to make some tough decisions to choose only ten from all of the great new artists coming through for next year, but we've chosen some really exciting talent that we believe will connect with our audience and feature heavily across our key channels on the network throughout next year,” says MTV UK and Ireland director of talent and music programming Matt Cook

Jessie J - Urban

 

Jessie J is not urban -_-, I take it the only song you have listened to is 'Do It Like A Dude'. She even said on the chart show that 'DILAD' is sort of a parody of autotune to fit in with whats in the chart at the moment, NONE of her other songs are anything like urban..

Fooking hell, sorry, I was only giving a summary. I don't know about half of those acts, just wanted to do a general genre thing for them. I don't care about Jessie enough to listen to another of her songs, after the monstrosity that is DILAD.

Everyone will bow down to mighty Jessie J after they hear 'Price Tag' and/or 'Who You Are' which are AMAZING.

 

'Do It Like A Dude' isn't her best at all, but good for a promo single and apparently not to be taken seriously as stated by the girl herself which makes sense.

I've heard Do It Like A Dude, Price Tag, Who You Are, L.O.V.E. and Nobody's Perfect by Jessie J. DILAD is R&B, but the rest are totally pop tbh (although L.O.V.E. was written for Alicia Keys, so has a definite Aliciaesque R&B vibe but is more Jessie than Alicia). So glad she's there, hopefully she wins :wub: Also good to see FEM (their album is AMAZING, esp. Don't Look Now ft. Keri Hilson, which I imagine should be next single), Clare and Labrinth!

Ruff Diamondz :o

 

Wow they supported JLS earlier this year and I just thought of them as another flop girl group

 

I do like their songs, although the one with red hair is pretty chavy
