I was just browsing a report of the results of the Mobo Awards that took place last night here in London...


Of all the award ceremonies, the Mobos is perhaps the oddest..

Mobo stands for Music Of Black Origin

Which is a pretty open and blank term.

Yes boss, some (including me) would argue that all pop music has pretty heavy and deep black origin, so the artists that are and aren't credited are wierd....

You see, whereas people like Winehouse and Duffy do get nominated and win - I've never seen The Rolling Stones on the short or winners lists - and what music could be more black influenced than the Stones???


Well, apparently both Leona Lewis and Dizzee Rascal got booed for not turning up to accept their awards...

But that wasn't the most notable thing in the report I read - it was the reason for the Lewis no show...

'Lewis was unable to attend the ceremony as she was in New York to perform her "first ever live concert" - a six-song set at Gotham Hall in front of an invitation-only audience.'

WHAT?!?!?!

Leona Lewis is nearly 2 years into her very high profile career and this is her first gig???

Surely that can't be true can it..???
