Who the hell was that atrocious singer that murdered Shihad at the end of the Tui's? It was embarrassing to watch and hurt my ears to listen too. That guy should NEVER use a mic again. I thought the night was meant to be about celebrating music not showing why some people shouldn't sing!

Great to see TPF recieve some recognition, Gin does have a cracking voice. Shihad to me are what ACDC are to Australia. Opensouls amazing album is it Roots though or a soul explosion ?Die Henwood a hard act to follow. Agreed with David Dallas winning. Interesting how the best Electronic album didn t get an announcement only a quick 5 seconds and they went for Bulletproof which I know dubstep is in, but to me The System is A vampire is amore complete album and by a band as opposed to a producer. I'd like to see four nominations pre catergory instead of three, that would give it more credit I reckon. Overall was good though and it's good to celebrate instead of critising and hating or doing the tall poppy thing so many do. Sure it's mainly mainstream but that stuff sells thats life and there were some amazing artists nominated with a fair few indies in there. Was that the guitarist from ACDC doing the Shihad tribute at the end?
