Fix Is In At Smash Hits Awards

For those that read this site regularly, the idea of these music awards shows being not only predetermined but fixed as well has been given even more credibility with news that Westlife’s Shane Filan lost out in the Most Fanciable Male award to A1’s Ben Adams. The organizers told Westlife weeks in advance the specific awards they’d have won, but later called to say they were withdrawing the gong and giving it to A1’s Ben Adams because the band hadn’t won anything. Remember, this was a supposed ‘fan voted’ show which left Westlife furious.
