Posted December 20, 201311 yr http://i44.tinypic.com/xlxo5t.png Hello again. Nearly there! You've all nominated and voted and it's finally time to reveal the crème de la crème of Urban music this past year. Will Mariah be hashtag winning? Is Kanye or Eminem your Rap God? Will Pavel come second in any categories? I will be posting the podium finishers in each category as well as the points they each received (some were VERY close as will be revealed). We managed to accumulate a record number of 27 votes from you all so a massive thanks to each and everyone of you. Feel free to comment, predict and (most likely) lament as we go on. With that out of the way it's time to kick off proceedings with the award closest to home, Buzzjack's Favourite UK Act. Here are your contenders but who rules the roost?: AlunaGeorge Disclosure Jessie Ware Little Mix Misha B Rudimental Tinie Tempah
December 20, 201311 yr Author Favourite UK Act RwD4eJGxPc4 01. Little Mix 36 pts 02. Disclosure 28 pts 03. Jessie Ware 25 pts The first winner is Little Mix who take home Buzzjack's favourite UK Act of 2013. No real suprise given they released their best album to date this year which was met with nearly universal praise from a lot of you. We weren't sure whether they would even get recognition in the awards but with their most recent album taking a lot of influences from early/90s RnB divas it's no wonder they stormed this. Quite comfortably beating out competition from leww faves x2 who each received a lot of 3s or nothing compared to Little Mix's almost universal love. Nice to see this one go to such lovely newcomers. Tine Tempah came dead last in this category. But can he bounce back in the next one which is Collaboration of the Year. Your contenders: Ciara ft. Nicki Minaj - I'm Out Disclosure ft. AlunaGeorge - White Noise Disclosure ft. Eliza Doolittle - You & Me Janelle Monáe ft. Erykah Badu - Q.U.E.E.N. Justin Timberlake ft. Jay Z - Suit & Tie Lady Gaga ft. R. Kelly - Do What U Want Mariah Carey ft. Miguel - #Beautiful Tinie Tempah ft. 2 Chainz - Trampoline
December 20, 201311 yr Yay g'won Little Mix <3 Ciara or Mariah here preferably but Gaga would be a good winner also.
December 20, 201311 yr HMMMMM. Still quibbling with LM's INCLUSION, but hey ho. Probably Mariah or Gaga here, but it really should be a Disclosure track! Both are fantastic.
December 20, 201311 yr Author MISHA B PLEASE She wasn't last! #success HMMMMM. Still quibbling with LM's INCLUSION, but hey ho. UMMMMM there will be NO quibbling of any sort about inclusions :angry: (especially by non-voters *not looking at anyone*)
December 20, 201311 yr Dammit, I meant to vote in this but forgot. One of the Disclosure collabs to win this next one please! (or Gaga failing that)
December 20, 201311 yr Author Collaboration of the Year oe1wtkkt9-E 01. Mariah Carey ft. Miguel - #Beautiful 31 pts 02. Lady Gaga ft. R. Kelly - Do What U Want 29 pts 03. Disclosure ft. AlunaGeorge - White Noise 27 pts Breathing a MASSIVE sigh of relief. My big one for this and was tracking its progress throughout hoping it would do it. She really can't pretend that this award doesn't mean a thing to her. One of the defining collabs of the 21st century and definitely the biggest of the year. Mariah and Miguel combine their sexy, sultry sounds to create this wondrous piece of perfection. Took a few listens to really get me, but i think it managed to get under most of our skins eventually and that shows here. And the video just sealed the deal, as the two showcase their orgasmic chemstry (later recreated by Kanye and Kim in the almost as divine 'Bound 2'...kinda...). Gaga, with her current big hit, manages to steal the silver away from Disclosure, who i think may have been hindered slightly by having two songs here, as a lot of voters split their votes between the pair. And not even the better of the two making it for me!? So from someone in the game longer than nearly everyone to the Biggest Breakthrough Artist. Who came to win and did so in a flash?: AlunaGeorge Banks Disclosure Iggy Azalea Laura Mvula Macklemore and Ryan Lewis SZA
December 20, 201311 yr UMMMMM there will be NO quibbling of any sort about inclusions :angry: (especially by non-voters *not looking at anyone*) This seems to infer I didn't vote which is NOT TRUE Mariah is a solid winner, #Beautiful's her best song in a good long while. (R. Kelly should be disqualified tho tbh)
December 20, 201311 yr Author Biggest Breakthrough Artist QK8mJJJvaes 01. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis 40 pts 02. Iggy Azalea 37 pts 03. Disclosure 34 pts Wut wut wut wut!? Easily the biggest new chart successes this year and so quite content with that being reflected here. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis have had the midas touch this year with pretty much everything they've released storming around the world. Starting with the infectious 'Thrift Shop' which stamped the pair's presence on the scene before they slowly revealed themselves over the course of the year with a selection of other tracks from their Heist. And what i thought was BJ's favourite for this crashes out in second place not quite managing to fully assert herself for you just yet. And Disclosure fall short yet again(!) with their fanbase growing unruly. Will their be justice for them at any point tonight? This was a major three-horse race with third place scoring more than double fourth place! The next category was MUCH closer, but what has been your favourite Music Video of the Year: Iggy Azalea - Bounce Iggy Azalea ft. T.I. - Change Your Life Iggy Azalea - Work Justin Timberlake - Mirrors Kanye West - Black Skinhead Laura Mvula - Green Garden Naughty Boy ft. Sam Smith - La La La
December 20, 201311 yr IGGY :( Macklemore & Ryan Lewis aren't bad though, dislike Thrift Shop but Can't Hold Us and ESPECIALLY Same Love are fantastic. Laura Mvula to win video please :wub:
