Acceptance Speech
September 9th 2009 00:05
Speech Debelle, a singer of the hip hop genre, has just won the Mercury Music Prize for best British album of the year. She won with her debut album.
The album was called Speech Therapy and not, as one might have expected, Maiden Speech. We assume her second album will feature fewer tracks and be called Speech Less.
In Speech's acceptance speech, she said winning the Mercury Music Prize proved that "if you believe in something and you think you can do it, you can". She added, "I feel so good, it feels better than I imagined."
Speech's win follows the 2008 Mercury Prize victory by the band Elbow. Does one have to be named after a body part or function to be a successful musician these days?
