MOBO AWARDS WINNERS

why is it that the UK music biz is so much cooler than the rest of the world's and this since decades? the 'music of black origin' - mobo awards took place for the 10th time yesterday night and these are the results.
with KANO, LETHAL B and SWAY winning what they have deserved.
congratulations!
sure, you can't stop a rather cheesy act like LEMAR, heroe of one of those popstar soaps - still better than bro'sis though. don't know if DADDY YANKEE is too happy about his price for best world music and africa might have more to offer than YOUSSOU N'DOUR over and over again but still, the mobos are outstanding in their respect for underground artists and newcomers.
but who the f*** is steve sutherland?
