Wyatt's going for Ty: 'Wyatt hails Ty in Mercury contest' http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3626010.stm - I haven't heard Ty either. I think The Streets are severely overrated & FF are just a bad impersonation of bands like The Monochrome Set, Josef-K, Dirk-Adam & the Ants, Wire, Orange Juice etc. It's a pretty horrific list, sub-Coldplay shite like Keane & a covers record from the foxy Joss Stone (if only her music was more Royal Trux!). So I'd plump for Robert Wyatt, an album that deserves to win and a record I find moving. Of course it'll be one of the popular acts who wins- look at past winners: M-People, Portishead - though it didn't really help Roni Size, Gomez, or Talvin Singh. Suppose they'll try and make themselves look hip etc - so it'll probably me Mike Skinner. I'd go for Wyatt, as he's one of the greatest acts produced in this country and his new stuff is as great as the old stuff.

i havnt heard much from the zutons but what i heard i really liked. The single reminds me more than a bit of edgar broughton. Also saw them on some show doing a live thing and they looked like they do a good show, i wanna hear more.

I probably shouldn't be here, since I'm on the other side of the pond and I've only heard of a few of these artists, but as soon as I saw Joss Stone's name I couldn't contain myself - she's WORSE than "precocious shit." She's HORRIBLE!!!! She's nothing but a TV talent show reject who SOMEHOW lucked into a bit of credibility. I am so SICK of these whitebread pseudo-soul revivalists who don't have a CLUE about soul singing. YUCK!!!!!

Good. As long as it's anybody but Joss Stone, I'm happy.

Yes, I have heard her. Horrible Christina Aguilera-soundalike voice.
