yeah oakie sux - as much i as used to love the guy - now he got to be a fat lazy pig... heared him two days in a row at space and at ultra....at ultra he steped it up a bit but was moderate at the veru best (or maybe my expectations from him are too high)


PS bollocks - lol i love that word they use it all the time in human traffic -never get to hear it here in US - what does it mean?....i figure shit or something to that nature - just another thing that bollocks' about US (damn i hope i'm using it right)

First off, that list is pure stupidity. How come nothing from Hybrid, or Sasha, or Paul van Dyk? Heheh...best live performace by Crystal Method? Didn't Chicane or Rank 1 have a live act in 2001...if they did, then one of those 2 should've been the winner...and best DJ/International DJ...Oakenfold...no, I don't think so...not best of 2001...maybe 1998...but 2001 would have to go to PvD, or Orkidea.

heh .. I love the way the pompous americans can only award the best awards to their own, even when they suck

But since when have Americans done good dance music?

Christopher Lawrence? :P

Even J.Lo sucks. She can't sing! When will everyone learn?

What the neck are you guys getting mad about. This list is on point for America. Yes we are missing some better local talent on the list, but this voted by American popularity. Not talent.

This is the American Dance Music Awards! The only think they need to change for International DJ would be to Tiesto, since he made a bigger splash this year. Just rememeber this is an American voting poll, so like MYV, only the ones that are commercialized get voted.

I totally agree... even about Tiesto, he made a bigger "wave" the past year than Oakey...
