The Silver Scroll nominees are listed in this news item (link below). Anyone care to make some off-the-cuff predictions? www.nzmusic.com/news/apra_silver_scroll_awards_2007_apra_announces_the_t...
I'll go out on a total limb and say:
The 5 finalists will be:
Brooke Fraser for Albertine
The Mint Chicks for Crazy Yes...
Hollie Smith for I will Do
Shayne Carter - Whats a few tears for the ocean
Neil Finn - Don't Stop Now
and a couple of wildcards could be Liam Finn and Shapeshifter
Brooke Fraser will win it.
Fur Patrol will cover The Mint Chicks
Shapeshifter will cover Dimmer
Stellar will cover Brooke Fraser
Liam Finn will cover Crowded House
Opensouls will cover Hollie Smith
Btw this isn't necessarily what I think SHOULD happen, but it's how I think it will play out. For those of you who want to make a more informed prediction - you can listen to the tracks and read the lyrics here www.apra.co.nz/html/voting2007.php?id=5354

Much as I'd like to see some SJD lovin' (and Voom, and Furpers), I'm putting my nonexistent cyber-dollars on The Mint Chicks.
That Brooke Fraser song is pretty good though. Her new stuff is better than her old stuff, if you like that sorta thing. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't.
I guess the thing with
I guess the thing with Silver Scrolls is that often you go with "how good is your song if someone else covers it?", and Anika Moa TOTALLY kicks ass at "Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No!", so I second Heather's vote.

3 outa five aint bad (if you count my wildcard) but Heather's 2fer2!
Woot woot! WTF is Maybe
Woot woot!
WTF is Maybe though? It got all the votes on radioscope's wee poll. I've never heard it.
Well, listened to it on
Well, listened to it on amplifier & I don't think it's particularly interesting at all. I bet the only reason it rated so highly in the poll is that it's been overexposed on the commercial stations. All the other songs are tops (& yay SJD!!).

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the Mint Chicks will take it out, partly because I love that song, but partly because dude, it's the fucking Mint Chicks and they're getting played constantly on ZM with that number. That's pretty universal appeal right there.
Brooke will win because she
