Good night for Tinie Tempah at MOBOs
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 21 October 2010
So, it was the MOBO Awards in Liverpool last night, with JLS and Tinie Tempah dominating, picking up two awards each, the former for Best UK Act and Best Album, the latter for Best Video and Best Newcomer. The complete list of winners (well, I say complete, I have a niggling feeling I might have accidentally deleted something while formatting this list) is as follows:
Best UK Act: JLS
Best Newcomer: Tinie Tempah
Best International Act: Eminem
Best Song: N-Dubz feat Mr Hudson – Playing With Fire
Best Album: JLS – JLS
Best Video: Tinie Tempah feat Labrinth – Frisky
Best UK Hip Hop / Grime Act: Professor Green
Best Reggae Act: Gyptian
Best Jazz Act: Empirical
Best Gospel Act: Guvna B
Best UK R&B/Soul Act: Plan B
Best African Act: K’Naan
Lifetime Achievement: Billy Ocean
Not that I’d usually want to give CMU Daily space to anything Alesha Dixon says, but the co-host of the MOBO awards show made a relatively good point when she said last night: “I think that the urban music scene is in a really strong place. The artists that are here are dominating the charts at the moment and it feels like a real celebration of what has been an incredible year for urban music”.
So there you go, Dixon says something sensible shocker. And her version of ‘Son Of A Preacher Man’ on that Dermot O’Leary radio show album isn’t anywhere near as bad as you’d think. Oh, and well done to all the MOBO winners.
