yeah, there always used to be a best british dance act each year but it stopped for some reason in 2004

I think Best Dance Track would work. Look at the commercial tracks released in the past year.

Bob Sinclair - World Hold On

David Guetta Vs The Egg - Love Don't Let Me Go

Fedde Le Grande - Put Your Hands Up..

And I bet there is a good few more as well that could go into the catagory. Dance music is at a comercial high at the moment

I realised I haven't grumbled about ruddy Take That/Gary Barlow and friends winning Best Single. I wanted the Feeeeeling to win!!!

Stupid stupid big fat Barlow.

Did you watch a different show to the rest of us? Take That were brilliant and deserved that award! They also deserved many more that they should have been nominated for!!

As for fat? Where did you see any fat? He was looking fantastic last night!!!! It is easy to see you are very young!

You may never grow to love Take That but in time I am sure you will grow to appreciate them!

Alright, breathe. I was just having a rant! :-p

I'm sure if the Feeling had won you would have had something to say.

I just think Take That have had their success, they don't need anymore!

Saying that I do like Shine, but then again lots of people have said it sounds like the Feeling... :biggrin:

If Take That hadn't won, yes of course I'd have had something to say but I wouldn't have got personal about the winners! I think the fat comments are out of order especially since it's not even true. If they'd had their time and the fans didn't want them round anymore they wouldn't be here. There is a demand for them right now and I personally hope there will be for a long time yet. That said each to their own and I was just having a rant too.....

Shine is brilliant, it sounds very like some of Mark's solo work (which was before the Feeling were around) but also like the Scissor Sisters and apparently the Beetles too. There are worse people to be compared to so they must be doing something right. Never heard anyone compare it to The Feeling tho, I'll have to listen to more of their stuff, maybe i'd like it :)

I don't think so. Commercial dance music is still largely thought of as forgettable, having no emotional resonance and creatively 'forged' rather than produced, when compared with the music produced by pop and rock bands/artists. Also, many commercial dance outfits tend not to have the same shelf-life as some pop and rock bands/artists with a few notable exceptions, such as The Chemical Brothers.

    • I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right! 
    • Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!
    • Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.
    • If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.
    • The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!
    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
