Criticisms

Many people have critisized the 'Record of the Year' Award, as they feel the nominies are too 'poppy.' It is said that the reason the records are so 'poppy' is too attract young teenage girls, who they are sure will vote for the records by text. Indeed, plenty of people were disgusted when Westlife beat Daniel Bedingfield, who many felt to be the true winner out of all the nominees.
