According to the deluded one himself, it was almost there until the controversy over his tribute to Harold Shipman.

I always figured he was just ludicrously self confident, but I've heard that Harold Shipman song and it sounds like the demo on a Casio keyboard for children AND he can't sing for shit.
There is no way in a thousand years it would have ever qualified for the Murcury awards. Even if the writer/composer weren't a convicted paedophile.
surely
mr "I wave my penis at young boys with no remorse" is just trying to stir up some press interest for himself, I honestly doubt he was nominated...
He wasn't
the judges of the panel just asked for copies of his album for the review process. Or so he claims. But then, if I were in the position to judge the Mercury and had the chance to listen to his album, I totally would. There's nothing better than laughing at a fat paedophile trying to pretend he's normal.
"asked"
he probably just sent them in, as everyone can.
It's not about being nominated
You can put yourself forward for the award if you can cover the entry fee and a certain number of CDs. I'm guessing his non-selection for the final twelve is less "because of the Shipman business" and more "because the judges saw the name of the artist on the entry form".
Has he been back around here recently?
...
He's like the Candyman - all you have to do is say his name enough times, and Google will bring him here.
I'll try
Jonathan King Jonathan King Jonathan King

you big nonce.

Delighted to see the quality of intelligent debate remains high.
I assume, of course, all commentators have heard and rejected the album concerned.
Otherwise this would be Drowned In Prejudice.

I have to say
that you really are quite an amazing person.
Not only are you a convicted paedophile, but you fucking look like one too.
Nonce.
...
It was inevitable.
Still, while you're around, maybe you could answer a question: You've produced records by groups as illustrious and talented as the Bay City Rollers and Orson.
So why does the Harry Shipman song sound like it was recorded in a wheelie bin by paraplegics?
Thanks in advance.
This could be the DIS equivalent
of this thread.....

lock up your under 16s the nonce is a lurking
this vile monster needs to get out of the music industry and take a very long walk of a very short pier...
I'm glad...
I turned 18 :-D
Oh it's all fun innit?
Nonce? Wot a strange word? Short for nonsense?
...
You're a slot badger. You're a two pin din plug. You're a bush dodger. You're a small bean regarder. You're a unabummer. You're a nut administrator. You're a bent ref. You're The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. You're a fence vole. You're a free willy. You're a chimney bottler. You're a bunty man. You're a shrub rocketeer.
More like "Nonce Sense"
Genetically, paedophiles have more genes in common with crabs than they do with you and me. Now that is scientific fact. There's no real evidence for it, but it's scientific fact.
Credit for the unintended Brass Eye reference
but for the love of god...leave those kids alone!
that thread is brilliant
Is there a myspace where I can listen
and formulate opinion?
Oh!
Did I miss Jonathan King?
Damn! I want to ask him about Scott Walker. Can someone do the spell again...
call him a paedo
and say orson are crap, and here he shall be for you to question. but be quick!
He was best mates with Scott!
I'd love to ask him who's shirts he wore.
OH JK!
Come out come out wherever you are...
yeah, come on JK
i'd love it if you became a regular poster (as would many others)
fuggedabout your previous misadventures, we've all had encounters with borderline underage men at some point. Just don't allow the derogatory tone of other DiSsers to force you away
love smezzer
Say what you like about JK.....
...but, he has touched a lot of kids.
Best Post.
Check out You Tube
for cheapo videos of many tracks from Earth To King.
And don't believe the rubbish - but then you didn't anyway, did you?
If tabloids told the truth we'd all be bored to death.
so did you touch
scott walker's winky?
Still,
let me give you one piece of advice.
If your hard drive breaks down, whatever you do, don't take it to PC World.
Good Samaritan tip for the day, like.
