Stroppy popstrel Lily Allen has blasted the Mercury Prize judging panel after she was passed over for a place on this year’s shortlist.
“im like gazza,” she griped via Twitter, “the judges hate me, but the people, dem love me.” She followed the ludicrous statement – Gazza, really? – by stating that she’d like La Roux to win.
Lily isn’t the only high profile omission, with Doves and Little Boots amongst the notable absentees. Who do you feel has been overlooked in this year’s shortlist? Champion your album of the year at the AU forum.
