I have never quite got past his singing and dancing, but damn Aston is growing into a handsome man …..(mind you I wonder what is under that hat?? lol).

JLS have jumped to the defence of artists who use auto-tune in their music, stating that there is nothing wrong with using the technology.

JLS who used auto-tune on their No 1. annoying single The Club Is Alive have hit out at critics claiming that they can sing withuot auto-tune.

Aston Merrygold told Bang Showbiz: “If you get critics come and see the show, we can sing it live, so what’s the problem? It’s kind of pointless for them to criticise.”

Ortise said: “Music has moved forward in such an amazing way, and we are in a new school generation and [for] that generation, stuff like music effects, auto tune and sampling is part of that.”

Marvin added that they will continue to use vocal effects and auto-tune in their music, insisting: “It’s all about people wanting that in the music, so we will deliver it to them.”

At what point did the ‘people’ say that they wanted to hear auto-tune in their music? One song maybe, but not a whole collection of tracks, come on dudes stop, its annoying!

This will be another hit for the boys!!! Although Tinie really does save the song!

Say ‘cheese’!

There is something is very weird about these photos!…They are just a bit too cheesy!

My verdict on the Mobo Awards 2010!

Reggie Yates – Good presenter as always!

Alesha Dixon – She looked gorgeous, with lots of personality! It showed how diverse she is, going from Strictly to the  Mobos. Her performance was entertaining but the ‘drummer boy’ song is still very annoying.

N-Dubz – The highlight of their performance was Fazer playing the piano! Dappy rightly reminded everyone that N-Dubz write and produce their own music! (You do forget that under their annoying antics they are very talented!).

Tinie Tempah – Great performance! Well done for winning Best Newcomer and Best Video for Frisky.

JLS - The performance was shockingly, quite good! Their vocals have definitely gone up a notch….not sure about Ortise’s outfit, it was a bit 90′s! Anyway congrats guys for winning Best Album and Best UK Act.

Shock Winner - Plan B, Best R&B/Soul award!!!! I must listen to Plan B’s album to find out what all the fuss is about over this dude!….(and what a cheek, he didn’t even attend the show to collect his award!)….this also goes for Professor Green who won UK Best UK Hip Hop / Grime Act!!!

Jay Sean Performance - He just bores me!

Nelly – I was  disappointed that he kept his shirt on throughout the show! What a  waste of muscles!

Michelle Williams - She needs to eat some ‘yam and banana’! The woman looked malnourished!

Inspirational quote of the night - Dappy “If you’ve got something to party over, then party…..But if you’re not winning nothing, go home, feel bad, wake up tomorrow and work harder.”….wow did Dappy really say this!

Highlight of the award show – Giggs randomly performs with Tinchy Stryder, Devlin, Tinie Tempah and Professor Green……People were so shocked when Giggs came on stage……Via Twitter, Facebook even text messages you name it, everyone was talking about Giggs! This performance definitely bought some much needed excitement to the show!

Lowpoint of the awards show – The fact the BROWN-EYEZ was not there!

The event as a whole - 7/10 Not enough wow factors!

Congrats to Kanya King for making 15years.

My thoughts on the nominations – Well I definitely think Tinie Tempah will win Best Newcomer. Not sure who should get Best UK Act, the list is far too long….but it will probably go to Tinie or Taio Cruz….I would like Giggs to win, but I doubt that would happen! ….Best Song should go to Tinie, Taio or dear I say N-Dubz (the tune is catchy).

The nominations for Best UK SOUL/R & B just highights how weak this music is in the UK??? Like who are these people??? Corrine Bailey Raye is just boring, Sade is even worse and just bores me to tears….Plan B is like ‘yeah ok what ever’…..I am surprised though that the singer ROX did not recieve any nominations!!! She may not have received a huge amount of chart success in the UK but her album Memoirs is constantly being played on rotation in H&M, Selfridges, Top Shop, Super Drugs….just about everywhere, her track ‘I don’t believe’ has been used for the RIMMEL advert….she is young, talented and relevant more so than SHITTY BURKE! ….ROX at least deserved a nomination!

Best UK HIP HOP/GRIME  - Well this one is tricky! Giggs has great style , flow and delivery, Wiley is an all round talented musician, but just not as  marketable as the rest and Skepta is just sexy and should really win an award for GRIME CANDY OF THE YEAR! lol lol….It’s funny that Tinie Tempah is not in this category though…it’s official he has totally left the Grime Scene.

Best International Act – Well these people probably dont care about wining a MOBO AWARD, so I don’t care who wins.

Best Reggae Act – I want to say Gappy Ranks for obvious reasons, but it may just go to Vybz Kartel!

Anyway good luck to all the nominees!

JLS have announced that they are launching their own safe sex-promoting charity the JLS Foundation.
