...she could not swim :smiley9:

can't wait to hear news of it tonight, either way she'll put on a great performance and she deserved to be nominated!

Ditto!

They've got the video of Lisa's performance up on the BBC website already :)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/musicevents/mer.../lisahannigan/ (sorry, no clue how to embed this one!)

She seems very nervous! And I get thgat this is mainstream BBC and whatnot, but they've got her in a lot more makeup than she needs. Still, lovely performance!!

And they've also got this video of Gary Lightbody (of Snow Patrol) talking about how "magical" Lisa's voice is :smiley27:

Hey good spot!

She does seem a little nervous at the start, but it was a good rendition and every head in the place was turned to the stage and listening intently... good cheer and nods of approval afterwards too! *fingers crossed*

so it's already happened? thought it was gonna be on now at 10pm UK time??

It's going to be broadcast then in a bite-size 30 minute program (I think), but the show's happening now.

There's a live feed up here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/6music

I missed Lisa's performance on account of being in class, but I'm paying close attention now!

so the winner is gonna be announced anytime soon?

25 - 30 minutes or so according to whoever the BBC DJ is right now..

I'm listening now!! Go get 'em Lisa!!!! :D

come on Lisa!!!!!! hope it's not that Florence... or even worst La Roux!!

ouch that's kinda painful to listen to :(

The 'experts' that BBC had on didn't like her... they seem to only like hard rock... The host Lauren seemed to be a fan though. I really want her to win now just to show up those two idio... sorry, 'experts'.

^ I know! Were they listening to the same performance/album that we've been listening to? They're all insane, clearly.

Here we go people... hold your breath...

I'm so nervous for her!

what the f--?! awww gutted

:( Speech Debelle

who won? didn't get/understand the name?

Well Lisa wins OUR Mercury Prize...

Aw. Damn. Can we create our own EskimoFriends Best 2009 album award and hand that to her?

Speech Wtf? It's the only name I'd never heard before... clueless!!!!! :(

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS :icon_kidr :icon_kidr :icon_kidr

I think we should.... who's gonna pay for the 20k quid though? lol

I wanted Lisa to win :crybaby2:

Wheels says he pays :D

LOL. I could get behind that idea ;)

That was conditional on the wardrobe malfunction...

was won by "speech debelle"

one of the analysts for the tele coverage, nihal siwhaney i wont even bother correctly typing his name, was very dismissive of lisa at the start, but from the coverage she seemed to enjoy herself and clapped genuinely enthusiastically at the end..

will be interesting to see how her album sales are affected by her performance and nomination in the next couple of weeks

congratulations on the nomination lisa! xx

Lisa she doesn't need a Mercury, she is Venus in person. (∩´н｀*∩)

Here an interview with Lisa before the show...
