Humanzi for best new Irish Act!! those boyz are going to be big!! I hope you're joking about the conway sisters nomination!!! f**king cringeworthy stuff. i have to turn away when the come on the x-factor. Themselves and Louis Walsh could easily destroy irish credibilty between them alone. We are better than this are we not??

The Immediate are ten times better than any band in that category

i'd give my vote to Delorentos. having seen both Delorentos and The Immediate live (havent heard either properly on record) i would say that Delorentos are ten times better than the Immediate, taste eh!

What's "NEW"? Haven't some of those bands been going for years? 8ball are my favourite there. Seen Delorentos a few times and I just don't see what people seem to get so excited about. Wouldn't be surprised to see Leya walk away with it. Doesn't their manager work for MCD?

Humanzi are good but not original. Plus they have a good manager.

I always think of them as a manufactured boyband for some reason, like McFly :-) I know this isnt the case in reality though, just get that vibe off them. I would jump around at their gigs but their recordings and songs arent really that strong, Still great to see them making a name for themselves. Hopefully Channel 1 will be up for one next year

So they can expect to have a hugely hyped 1st album and then a second one which crashes and burns like no-ones business. i'm with WhoMe - Humanzi are the Irish McFly.

Hopefully Channel 1 will be up for one next year THey've released one single! I think every song they've got is a potential single and really strong. I hardly think you can put them in the same category as McFly! And since when is having a good manager a crime?

Delorentos are doin their thing aswell and seem to be a really hardworkin band and fair dues to them but i think it would just be great to see a band like Humanzi given recognition like this. Its something new and fresh and original and it would be great for the Irish scene for them to scoop this gong! humanzi aren't original. they're great performers, and exciting to watch, but they're not original. They may noy be 100percent original but thers no one else doin what they do in Dublin!

Leya's manager is Marc Marot from Terra Firma management in London - most famous as being the guy who give U2 their first UK record deal! I dont expect Leya to get it due to the Dublincentricity goin on! You have to ask the question who are capable of going on to achieve recognition further than Ireland - and Humanzi, Leya and ROSS are the only ones doing that at the mo? Humanzi are already Zane Lowe's flavour of the month - Leya also getting play on Lowe and supporting KUBB at the moment and ROSS also getting a heap of MTV2 play etc. Lets think outside the box people (or the pale at least!)

That's a bit of a silly question when you consider does any of this mean anything? Never mind a sentence!

Leya's MCD connection is that they are signed (in ireland, at least) to Rubyworks, which is the label financially backed by MCD's Denis Desmond. Leya's manager Marc Marot also manages Paul Oakenfold and Lemon Jelly, so they're in good company Who are ROSS? Thats a new name on me

Ok, but why single out Dublin, We are talking about music here. It just has no relevance whatsoever
