Billboard annouced WOTY honorees! Ciara, Colblie, article!
Quote:
Ciara, Deborah Harry and Colbie Caillat will be honored at Billboard's third annual Women in Music breakfast, to be held Oct. 24 at New York's St. Regis Hotel.
Ciara will receive the Woman of the Year award, which recognizes success as a recording artist and leadership in embracing the changing music business. Harry will be honored with the Icon award, given to a woman whose art and career have blazed trails for successive generations.
Caillat, who broke through last year with her debut album, "CoCo," will receive the Rising Star award, acknowledging early success and greatest potential among artists who have released two or fewer albums.
Billboard's Women in Music issue will be published Oct. 24. The list of executives is selected and ranked by Billboard's editorial staff and does not include artists and songwriters. Billboard editors vote on several criteria: the ability of the executive to green light major projects; the success of that executive in the previous 12 months; and the professional demeanor and leadership demonstrated by the executive.

The most stupid thing to do is say "SHE DOESN"T DESERVE IT" after she's already being honored. It makes you look as if you think you know more than BILLBOARD. They run the charts for god sakes, so obviously this has nothing to do with chart peaks... for all the people that forgot how to bow and wanna take ish..

I don't think it's pathetic to say she doesn't deserve it. Billboard does many stupid things, such as making airplay the majority format in their charts, and a lot of other rules they've been faulted for.
No knocks to Ci, but she hasn't done anything in the last year, therefore Woman of The year is unnecessary. I think it's a promotional move.
Ciara is one of the WOMEN OF THE YEAR, some where in her drop head, while you guys are sitting behind your homemade dell computers eating cheetos and koolaid...
No, she IS receiving the Woman of The year Award, Deborah Icon award, Colbie Rising Star. Did you not read the article? The entire thing is Women In Music, not Women Of The Year.
Which brings it back to she did nothing this year. I would expect Alicia or Rihanna, but Ciara is so random.
