I have not listened to this show. I tend to steer clear of award shows, because as implied above the winners are cherry picked by a select few and so winners do not represent the wider tastes of fans of whatever genre.

In short meaningless to us grunts here on the ground. Let the BBC idjits have their moments of smug.

I must say that I am grateful for the likes of uberfamous folk (Rusby, et al) because they ushered me into the earthy much more satisfying real world of the music. So these young gods have their use. I say let them continue. Their prosletysing attracts new young converts who will dig deeper, find out more, keep the authentic stuff rolling on.

As to employing celebrity presenters. Don't they all take the piss, whatever the award show? Isn't that what they are paid to do?

Just my 2P worth.
