MOBO award nominations 2012




Emile Sandé received five nominations Emile Sandé and Plan B are the most nominated artists for this year's Music of Black Origin (Mobo) Awards.

The pair received five nominations each although neither attended the launch event in central London.

The 25-year-old Scottish singer has been recognized in the Best Female, Best Song and Best Video categories.

While Plan B is nominated for Best Male, Best Album and Best Hip-Hop/Grime act.

Speaking at the nominations event, Tulisa - who is nominated alongside Sandé in the Best Female category - said she was thrilled to be recognised:

"Being in N Dubz the Mobos was like the biggest opening part of our career when we won Best Newcomer (2007).

"To this day I always say no-one can even begin to understand how much that meant to us."

X Factor judge Tulisa has been nominated in the Best Female category The Mobos, which celebrate urban music in the UK, are now in their 17th year and will be held at Liverpool's Echo Arena on 3 November.

'Wicked couple of weeks'

Singer-songwriter Jessie Ware has been nominated in the Best Newcomer and Best Female categories.

"It's a real honour to be nominated for any awards. It's been a wicked couple of weeks. I am really chuffed."

Last week she was also shortlisted for this year's Mercury Music Prize.

"I've always watched the Mobos and respected people that have been nominated like Amy Winehouse," she added.

Other nominees include Labrinth, Wretch 32, Ed Sheeran and Rita Ora.

Azealia Banks, Beyoncé, Drake, Ne-Yo, Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, Nas, Frank Ocean and Kanye West have all been selected for the Best International category.

In the past, the awards have seen appearances from Jay-Z, Rihanna and Amy Winehouse.

Jessie J was the big winner at last year's Mobos.

She won four prizes, including best album for her debut Who You Are and best song for Do It Like A Dude.

Last year's event took place in Glasgow and will return to Scotland in 2013 and 2015 as part of a three-year deal to host the show.

Was she the one that performed in the closing ceremonies of the olympics? I wasn't really impressed by that, but I plan on watching her iTunes festival performance.

Cue white people asking why there is no "Music of White Origin" awards.
fleuriee 17th-Sep-2012 10:14 pm (UTC)
lol, lets hope not eh!

then again my poor granny got confuse as to why white ppl can win an award at the MOBO awards, bless her socks.
forbidden_john 17th-Sep-2012 10:29 pm (UTC)
The more relevant question is probably why half these artists are up there. Their music is of white origin.

sigh

But... wasn't the first rock and roll music made by African Americans?

thankshalott 17th-Sep-2012 10:14 pm (UTC)
what jobs are you applying for OP? im in the same boat.
fleuriee 17th-Sep-2012 10:15 pm (UTC)
A national trust one which would be EPIC, and one in the Royal Household which also would be good. I'd so love to stay working at the castle i'm at currently but alas for seasonal contracts :(
what jobs are you after?
thankshalott 17th-Sep-2012 10:24 pm (UTC)
that sort of stuff sounds amazing, good luck with it. i love that you currently work in a castle, that sounds epic. i just want something officey at the moment. im doing a lot of stuff in my "free time" (which technically is all the damn time rn) so i want something 9-5 mon-fri that allows me to still do football and ballet. i'd like to learn a language too.

idk i probably should be more ambitious but i really dont care about what i end up doing rn. ive started applying for retail jobs as well now so i should get something soon hopefully.
fleuriee 17th-Sep-2012 10:28 pm (UTC)
I totally did all my training JUST so I could work in castles and palaces, hehe! but i really dont want to move back up to london, my lovely castle is in Devon where i'm from, :( alas.
aww, football and ballet sound like an excellent combination
thankshalott 17th-Sep-2012 10:34 pm (UTC)
rather envious that you know exactly where you wanna be working. i so ambivalent at the moment, which is why i'm going for all this sport and dance and stuff that wont actually make me any money, haha.

lol it is a bit of a weird pairing but in a funny way i think they'll work well together.
fabouluz 17th-Sep-2012 10:17 pm (UTC)
I am excited to watch this! More bolding tho OP.
fleuriee 17th-Sep-2012 10:18 pm (UTC)
Is it names etc I should bold in the future? I'm still a mere apprentice when it comes to posting on ONTD :D
fabouluz 17th-Sep-2012 10:21 pm (UTC)
Bolding things that are important; artist name, what their nominated for, where it is and when it is happening etc.

bollyhood 17th-Sep-2012 10:34 pm (UTC)
Had a horrible thought that that was NOra in that picture. Who is not of black origin.

Kinda sad how much the Mobos have become an afterthought. I remember in the late 90s/early 2000s how much they were pushed

The 99 Mobos when Method Man and Redman performed jumping on the table was classic
ani_di_franco 18th-Sep-2012 11:18 am (UTC)
I love Emile Sandé.
