Sugababes set to boycott Brit Awards

Band say people who choose 'don't know what they are talking about'

Sugababes are so fed up of being snubbed by the Brit Awards they are considering boycotting the 2009 ceremony.

The girl group, who despite being nominated six times have only ever gone home with one for Best Dance Act in 2003, are so annoyed they have said that if things don't change they will stay at home rather than attending the bash.

Keisha Buchanan said: "I say this in the most humble way but when you think of pop bands the Sugababes are definitely up there. I'm proud that Gordon Brown is recognising us (they were guests at the the British Prime Minister's London home last week), but why not the Brits?

She added: "We're British for God's sake - and we've done well. Surely we deserve an award after all the hard work we've done?"

Speaking to the Daily Mirror bandmate Amelle Berrabah said: "I'm telling you, if they don't nominate us this year, that's it, I'm done. I'm not going."

She concluded saying: "They should sack all those old men on the board and leave it to the fans to decide. They don't know what they are talking about."

Next year's event takes place at London's Earls Court venue on February 18.

the people who decide these awards clearly dont know what they are talking about. the fact that the sugababes have won any awards at all is all the evidence needed on that matter

I hear Paul Young and Kajagoogoo are boycotting the awards too this year. Other irrelevants are bound to follow suit. Here's hoping Annie Lennox and Paul Weller are available for their awards.

who's in a band to win awards anyway? this just demonstrates the terrible state of mainstream music.

I would love it if they did change the voting system entirely to the public and they got nothing

Great to see the NME music snobs are out in force again. More 'real' bands like Oasis and Radiohead, man........
