The most controversial acceptance speeches.


Award ceremonies in the music industry can be quite a controversial affair. Both the Brits and NME awards have recently happened, and these can be a place for artists to vent out their feelings and opinions without being edited out, unless the even is not live. NME tend to leave these sorts of events in to give the brand a little more edge, where as the Brit awards are to be seen as a clean-cut event. So with all of this in mind we can now delve into the world of award ceremony acceptance speeches, and what makes them so great, or for the producers not so great. But that is all part of live T.V and giving musicians alcohol

Adele – acceptance speech cut short.
2012 was a momentous year for Adele she won 6 Grammys awards for her second album 21. She is now the only the second ever female to win that many awards at the event. In the same month she won another 3 awards at the Brit awards for the same album. Feeling a little over whelmed with the recognition, Adele was struggling to get her words out to thank her fans. She was soon cut off by host James Corden, and was seen to be giving the middle finger. Who said crooners were just shy and retiring.

Liam Gallagher Vs. Peter Kay.
Who hasn’t had a public spat with the rowdy Gallagher brother? It seems he cannot go to an awards ceremony and behave, but who would have thought Peter Kay would have been his next victim. Having Liam pick up the Brit for best album for 30 years for Oasis’ (what’s the story) Morning Glory? At the Brits 2010 was always going to be a bit of a risky job. Plough the Manc with beer stick him on live T.V what did they think they were going to getIf you're wondering, this is what he said, "Listen kids, I wanna thank Bonehead, Guigs, Alan White and the best fucking fans in the world, live forever" PETER KAY - WHAT A KNOBHEAD

Robbie Williams Vs. Liam Gallagher.
Yes you have guessed it another Liam Gallagher spat. Well an awards show wouldn’t be any good if there weren’t one now would it. If you want to make headlines then invite Liam Gallagher, or so it would seem. The Brit awards 2000 was no different, Robbie Williams and the Gallagher’s were already involved in public spat. but who knew that Williams would offer Liam Gallagher a fight when he was picking up the gong for best British video for the hit She's the One. People are still ready and waiting for this fight to happen. Check out the video here.

Not all award ceremonies are violent or aggressive some can be just funny. Some can make you feel happy for the person who has won it, and some just know how to act in front of a camera when they know it is being filmed.

Noel Gallagher – Receives Godlike genius award.
Not all the Gallagher’s act like fools at award ceremonies, stick them at the same one then that would be a different story you might get Wibbling Rivarly part two if they did. Since Oasis ended Noel has been pursuing his High Flying Birds, and has gained the most prestigious award that NME give out and that is the Godlike Genius Award in 2012. He may be full of himself, but he does deliver a good speech.

Dave Grohl – the nicest man in rock.
Everyone loves Dave Grohl so it was only right that in 2011, NME named him Godlike Genius. Grohl being the Drummer in Nirvana, creating the Foo Fighters, drumming for Queens of the Stone Age and forming them Crooked Vultures. If it weren’t the Godlike genius award he won then it would have been the hardest working man in rock award.

Kanye West – a little stage invasion goes a long way
In 2009 Kanye West got people talking by invading the Grammys whilst Taylor Swift was giving her acceptance speech for best video. His outburst even got a response out of the American President Obama who called him a 'Jackass'. West had a problem that his best friends wife Beyonce did not win the award. Should have been Beyonce throwing the diva and strop not Kanye.
