Rick Astley was named the Best Act Ever at the MTV Europe Music Awards.

The 42-year-old Englishman received 100 million votes – more than all the night's other winners combined – to take the title ahead of international stars such as U2, Britney Spears and The Beatles.

 

 

 

Fully deserved IMO, and it's good to see Europe finally recognising his talent.

It is pretty funny, but do you get the impression Rick Astley doesn't realise the irony in him actually being pretty ****, which adds to the joke?

One of my students is doing a presentation on Rick Astley next week. Seemed a bit random when he told but I hadn't realised his legend lived on so strongly.

Did you see him in Boyatt Wood?

A.K.A. Rick Ghastly, or as he's known in Clayton Le Woods, Rick with a P.

Rick-rolled?

It's no less ridiculous than Britney Spears winning it.

I don't even know who he is.

Never gonna give you up

Never gonna let you down

Never gonna run around and desert you

Never gonna make you cry

Never gonna say goodbye

Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Black polo-necks back in fashion then.

I would jizz on his quiff.

I modelled my dancing style on his random hand flick method.
