I like that they're still bringing up the Katie Melua incident.... whooooo?!

Scott has caused chaos for Radio 1 since Day 1. Those were the days when he wasn't celebrity enough to talk to the stars but still managed to turn up to the station drunk.

I may be wrong, but I think it had something to do with Scott claiming she had been saying things about various different people who were at the awards for a joke. Obviously she hadn't, and wasn't too pleased at him claiming she had been.

Adele and Jessie J will no doubt be the big winners this year, although I wish they would just disappear from the music scene for good. As far as the Chris Brown thing goes, I'm not a fan of his songs but I seem to be in the minority who think that whatever he does in his private live has absolutely fuck all to do with his music career and abilities as a singer. This fuss thats being made about him and Rhianna doing songs together is all out of proportion. Do I honestly care about their relationship? No. Does their relationship make any difference to them being singers? No. Should anyone else be remotely bothered other than them themselves? No

I hate Chris Brown too… Trolololol at his My Super Sweet Sixteen party. A show which I used to LURVE. I hate all rappers like him, and don't get me started on that dumb *****************, Nicki Minaj. DESPISE her.

Not really to bothered about the winners, because I know that if anyone gets an award that I dislike, the judges were obviously wrong.

OMASM. Radio presenters are like fruit. Matt is my kumquat and Scott is blatantly my orange.

Thanks, had totally forgotten about that talentless bag of air, she'll no doubt get a mention if nothing else. I think you've done rappers a bit of an injustice there actually ;). I would say Brown was more along the lines of that sleazy creepy musical style they call RnB.

Just had a look at the nominees in the various catergories and its truly unbelievable. Its clearly been a bad year for music when you look at who is in the lists. Pro Green is the best of a bad lot in the British Male Solo Artist catergory. Not one of the British Female Solo Artist should be there. Same again with British Breakthrough Act, where the hell is Rizzle Kicks?!? British Group should be Chase and Status but again thats the best of a bad lot. If British Single doesn't go to either Example or Olly Murs/Rizzle Kicks then there is something seriously wrong. MasterCard British Album of the Year has nothing good in it. International Male Solo Artist should really be heading David Guettas way but I'm almost certain it wont. Nobody in International Female Solo Artist should be getting anything except their bus fare home. International Group is again a very poor lot. International Breakthrough Act has not one good person at all in it either. I do agree with Blur getting Outstanding Contribution to Music but I think it should have been going their way a few years earlier than it has.

He's more like a hip-hop wannabe. To be honest, the only decent rappers out there (with the exception of George Watsky, who is also a poet and Bo Burnham, who's music is more of a comedy genre) are English. The Streets and Pro Green… Plan B, Rizzle Kicks, I guess. Chris Brown, Lil' Wayne, etc. could all be one person tbh.

And yeah, to be honest, I think music is definitely going downhill…

Problem with Chris Brown is ego. Why shouldn't the fact he's a criminal and a thug affect his career? Also the angle of "Fuck haters" that he chose to take at the Grammys does not endear me to him. He COULD have, yunno, THANKED the Grammy people for the forgiveness they have shown, but no. That just shows a LOT about his personality. No surprise that people with similar attitudes support him, but there ya go. Plenty of musicians are hard working and law abiding, then we get twats like Brown and Dappy who are nothing but bullies but get praise for it... You're telling me THAT'S fair? Jog on.

I'm very disappointed by how bland and soulless the Brits have become over the years. Uninspiring performances and the same dull host brought back year after year. Seems that the organisers have tried so hard to avoid controversy that they've ended up sucking the life out of it completely.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
    • Clara was always a decent, competent and even good music radio presenter. But equally, she never provoked really strong emotions in me that I must listen or must switch off.
    • Jamie is definitely very divisive though.  Some people's "radio comedy gold" is other people's "unlistenable".  I have liked Matt and Mollie, Matt on his own, Mollie and Jordan etc etc.  But couldn't listen to Matt with Jamie. No hate on Jamie but I just don't like his sense of humour.
    • The dynamics of this are interesting.  Jordan works best with people he knows and he already knows Chris and Sian so from day one it should sound fairly natural.  
    • Have an amazing birthday Scott!  Looking forward to Tuesday! 
    • This has to be a joke right. This is so Scott Mills 🤣
