Paolo was unlucky not to collect an award at the Brits on Tuesday, but last night in Dublin he collected the METEOR Award for Best International Album for "Sunny Side Up' in Dublin.

The competition was as stiff as it gets; Lady GaGa, Florence & The Machines, Kasabian, and Mumford & Sons were all nominated too. But Paolo won through and was presented with his gong by Irish superstar Colin Farrell.

Paolo was also nominated for Best International Male but that went to Canadian singer Michael Buble - who beat Paolo, Bruce Springsteen, Morrissey, and Jay-Z to the title.

Paolo said afterwards "Happy days! Shame though I perfected my gratious losers face after Tuesday night and really didn't expect this. Thanks Ireland."

“Lucky”? “Unlucky”? WHO writes these news items??? Paolo won the Meteor because the Irish people still have a collective soul that understands genuine musical talent. He did not win at the Brits (what a misnomer!) because it would have been too embarrassing for the rest of that formulaic freak sideshow. Paolo is the new Bob Dylan and those who still can't see it, very soon will have no option.

Twasn't luck at all! Our dear boy deserved it, and the Irish voters were way smarter than those at the Brits!

I was beside Paolo in Dublin airport on a saturday morning just before Christmas in the security line. He was quite "incognito" and I did not dare to go and say him a little something :). I regret it a bit now... He looked quite inoffensive! :)
I was unaware that he was coming to Ireland that often.
Looking forward to maybe a concert soon to catch up with all the times I missed him here.
Congrats and enjoy the Irish Craic!
A bientôt!

"Strikes it lucky"?
With all due respect, it seems less a matter of luck than that Meteor Awards voters have much better taste than Brit Awards voters.
