South London Rapper Speech Debelle is the surprise winner at the 2009 Barclaycard Mercury Prize for her debut album 'Speech Therapy'.. Follow us on twitter at http://twitter.com/itn_on
Congratulations to her, she sounds deserving of the award from the amount of effort she put into her album. The only objection I have to her as an artist is that she was 'certain she was going to win'. Being up against so many well established artists and saying things like that is risky when you're a fresh face. I don't think any of the other (more successful) artists would have even come out with such a self-sure statement.
i agree with what you say too a certain extent. theres expressing veiws then theres plain silly. people are saying they hate her because she won? does that even make sense? shouldnt you 'hate' the judges for making her win. if your gonna keep it opinionated about the music thats fine. but taking it on personal levels like that is just sad i believe. at the end of the day people were guna b left unhappy because somebody had to lose. theres always next year. dont take it to heart dats all im sayin
Its not really about changing anything its about expressing our opinions over the result. Given that it would look bad if the defending artists showed they care which they probably do then they'd look very unprofessional.
That maybe YOUR opinion BUT I believe differently I believe that she IS talking and I have the right to believe that. As you say who are you to say "she isn't just talking" because YOU cannot define what music is. So there you go.
haha i love listening to haters. when your making all these comments and getin so angry about it u should stop and think... do the artists um defending actually care? there making there money either way. so people making comments like dog shit and so on should really get over it and get a life! lol. HAHA. she won, bitch over it all you want but it aint guna chance nufin!

I'm sorry. I'm not accepting that. At all. Bat For Lashes or Kasabian should've won that award, easily. This is just rubbish.
