Live Performer: St Vincent.
Seriously, most of these nominations are spot-on, but omitting St. Vincent from Best Live Performer is to miss the entire point of 2014!
Very Good Rober
Ya he votado. Me ha encantado la categoría Guilty Pleasure ^^ @roberawards
Stromae !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jack White Rocks!
Bien d’accoerd avec Incike Stromae!!!!
Tegan and Sara!!!!!!
TEGAN AND SARA!!!! <3

Stromae et La Roux – le meilleur!
Tegan And Sara!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kate Bush live act of the decade!
Morrissey – without any doubt!
Stromae!!!!))))
A ver esos ganadores…Porto?
Kate Bush Live was the best thing musically in 2014!
I hate to sound like ‘that guy’ but I wouldn’t have nominated St. Vincent as a great live performer. I like St. Vincent but doesn’t make even the top 10 of what I saw last year. Or even the top 10 of what I saw at Glastonbury alone.
Qui vote Kate Bush?
Stromae – the best! Paulo, tu ete formidable!)))
Prince is live the Best!!
KATE BUSH is the best live act of the millennium!! FYI – this is where Stromae stole the idea for the “Tous Les Mêmes” video from: http://youtu.be/rSx8beWmFYY You’re welcome:)
Stromae le meilleur a tous nominations
To administration!!
Who vote for Kate Bush?
They were real people or cheat script?
I believe they are real fans voting???
Of course we’re real fans. Kate Bush sold out for 22 nights over 70,000 tickets and has a loyas fan base for the last 36 years
Yes Maria, we are real – and we vote!
Stromae the best :3
Stromae le meilleur a tous nominations 🙂
Stromae the best :3
Stromae le meilleur a tous nominations 🙂 <3
Stromae le meilleur a tous nominations 🙂
Stromae the best 🙂 ^-^
Kate Bush doing a string of 22 concerts for the first time since 1979 is a major event. They weren’t ordinary concerts – they were extraordinary productions. Hopefully we see them on dvd this year. Kate Bush is worthy of every vote she’s got here. Real fans. Real votes.
Kate Bush! Her return to the stage was so phenomenal it won a West End THEATRE Award. With a cracking band and amazing sets (including full-size trees crashing down from the proscenium arch, one right through her piano!), costumes and an artist’s puppet come to life, this was a new high standard set for concerts and deserves every vote it gets.
I thought Kate Bush should be included in comeback of the year
Boo Hoo Maria! Please tell administration that Kate Bush got more fans than Stromae!
I know we’re not going to win, but it’s been fun keeping you on your toes, KB fans 😉
I did not get the chance to see Kate Bush’s tour – it sold out so quickly, and traveling to the UK was a little too expensive for me. But I love her, and if anyone deserves to win besides Stromae, it’s Kate Bush. But don’t think the Stromae fans are voting out of blind loyalty – everything about his show is extraordinary. And the lighting should win an award, it’s world class! If you get a chance to see Stromae’s show this year, do yourself a favor and go. I’d give anything to see Kate Bush perform, but as we all know, she doesn’t do live shows very often.
That’s cool Guess Who. I was lucky enough to see the Kate concert twice. It was the most amazing show I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen many but none I’ve flown across the ocean to see. It was a step beyond a concert experience really-part performance, part theatre, part film and her incredible live voice. And it was nearly 3 hours long!
Glad you enjoyed the Stromae concert. Sounds interesting. But imagine your a Stromae fan 35 years from now and, for whatever reason, he has not toured in those years but has continued to release music that you still enjoy. And then one day, unexpectedly, he comes back and does the most amazing concert you’ve ever seen! THAT’S what the experience would be like. And that’s why we vote Kate.
Delius, come up with a concert after a long break – this one, but always coming up with something new, like Stromae, much more difficult
Yes, I’m sure Kate has found it quite hard to write new stuff across 5 decades and 10 studio albums!
Stromae is best
Kate Bush is better!
Stromae is the best artist in the world.
