hey i cant get into the shoutcast chat thingy!!!! whats happened to it?

... The New Zealand Music Awards would never be aired again.....

are you saying that would be a bad thing? Award shows are good and all, but the tuis are even more bullshit then most american award shows. If they just were honest with themselves and put "selling" in the title of all the awards....ie. "best SELLING artist", "best SELLING single", then maybe the show would get some credit........and what the fuck was with the D4/Dsuper fuck up that i heard about.

The D4/D-Super fuck up? Please elucidate....oh and I've got good one..remember the Limo arrival red carpet thing? Well..it was one limo picking up all the bands from , yes, 10 metres up the road at Pizza Pizza and dropping them off back of the St James before returning 10 metres up the road to get the next bunch waiting on the pavement..hahahahahahaha

OK EVERYONE - HIGHLIGHTS OF THE NIGHT

Erika changing outfits between commercial breaks.
The Autocue - either all musicians are illitarate (hehe) or it was 50 feet away.
Che fu's kid
Pluto round the grand piano at the Sheraton singing "Jealous Guy"
The head of Rianz, at the dinner, opening his speech with the worst maori I've ever heard
Marcus lush frustrated by the lack of seating plan
Half the media seated on the floor, and stairs, or standing on the back of the second teir because there was not nearly the required seating at the event.
Goodshirt. The highlight of the awards hands down!
Hayley Westenras mini-skirt
K'lee yelling "can you feel me" to an unresponsive audience.... over and over and over again.

And the Tui for "whinging about how much it sucks, but going every year" goes to 95% of those attending the dinner.

during my 20 minutes i did get to see the dudes from the relaxomatic project look like fools who had never spoken in public before, i was too embarrassed to be a kiwi, so i turned it off.
And what was with the budgo stage decor. you'd think they would put some sort of effort into making it look glam, so people didn't feel completely ripped off at the ticket prices.
I've seen more exciting stages at school productions.

// you'd think they would put some sort of effort into making it look glam

maybe they blew their entire budget on the limo that was picking bands up from pizza pizza...

//Personally, I thought it was kinda cool that they mentioned the achievements of any smaller bands and labels whatsoever//

whole thing looked a bit like gloss shit.. however good to see faintly more original stuff like s.dub and sola rosa get recognised - worst bit, Helen Clark pushing her political shit on stage in election year. Apart from that the whole thing looked like it could have come straight from 1997.
