Definitely not my cup of tea. If it was that good she would have had singles in the top 40.
mercury music prize is just a pay up front from the record companies.
Ive never agreed with most of their winners

A very well-deserved winner. Agreed.
Personally, my favourite album of 2021. Inflo production is stunning. I honestly don't think there is a better producer in the world right now. His work on albums by Little Simz; Michael Kiwanuka; Jungle; Cleo Sol; & all Sault's albums is stunning.
Hence why's Adele's last album was such a huge disappointment IMHO, as according to him, she remixed his tracks to "blandify" them hugely to their detriment.

Ive never agreed with most of their winners I could not possibly disagree more with that statement. With a few exceptions they've been a breath of fresh air from the get go when Primal Scream's Screamadelica won the inaugural award in 1992 (Seal's self titled debut album won the equivalent BRIT Award for British album of The Year).
Adele's 30 won British Album of the Year at the 42nd Brit Awards FFS. On what planet can anyone with ears claim that album is better than SIMBI.

That's the most ridiculous thing you've ever posted. It really is up there. No i disagree. The singles chart apparently is supposed to be the most up to date figures of what people are streaming buying listening to etc etc and the fact is not one of the tracks from that album has been anywhere near.
you have your opinion i have mine. Why is one persons opinion ridiculous and the others 100 per cent truth.
The fact is certain people on here will never ever like what i like or vice versa. Im unique and dont comform to these ridiculous music prizes that are clearly payola for a record label.

You're saying that good quality music always reaches the top 40, as if quality and mainstream, commercial success go hand-in-hand. Poppycock, frankly.

Once again we are at the opposite end. Wouldnt be the same if we all liked and had your opinion or vice versa.
You just like to have the last say and never admit to maybe being wrong once in a while or appreciate an opinion.
All i have said is its not my cup of tea and people jump down my throat saying What you really should like her. Why should i
I will listen to what i want to.
Actually you jumped down my throat when i said Marty Robbins would be bottom in Haven 60s Time Machine Round 1. I was only 1 place out in that prediction. Doeasnt bother me coming last in things because somebosy has to. I think you are a person who always has to be on top and is a poor loser.

So we agree on something then hence you bigged up that in red The red statement is what I, and I assumed those above me, disagreed with strongly. Even you just disagreed a few posts above. Quite rich of you to moan about people disagreeing with you and you can't even agree with yourself.

Jumping into this I don’t think she has had that one killer song yet hence why she is an album artist. I haven’t disliked anything I have heard but nothing has made me go wow either. To chart these days you need a song to hook onto and so far she hasn’t been that kind of artist. And yeh it’s fine not to like her but saying she can’t be good if she doesn’t go top 40 is nonsense especially these days when we only get 3 or 4 entries. I’m sure in 2000 one of her songs would have charted 99p first week along with 20 other entries. Times are different.

Quite rich of you to moan about people disagreeing with you and you can't even agree with yourself. ASSUME. People who assume dont think as they are too quick to jump down someones throat
And maybe you have made a point that has made me think about the point i was making.
Shall we call it a draw and end it there cuz im getting bored now

What on earth are you talking about man?? Call it a draw? I'm not battling you, I've disagreed with a statement you made, disagreed by others in this thread, which for some reason you've taken issue with. You then went on to totally contradict yourself. Start making sense if you want to be taken seriously.

Start making sense if you want to be taken seriously. Well it makes sense in my head. And thats called an opinion. Me and you will never agree on anything it seems. Ive read your replys and taken them in but its not changed my mind on the original quote. If im at fault i apologise for not knowing anything about how Mercury Music prize works. I must be stuck in a time warp as Thorne suggested. Cant say ive enjoyed the last 25 years of music at all. I cant help the way i come across when typing these replys i just type what is in my head at the time. You see i see total disagreement towards me a failure of always being last in everything and knowing nothing about music at all.
