DJ Steve Sutherland chats to I Like Music
ILM: You've also been involved with Rhyme4Respect, a lyrics competition, and the winning lyrics have all been chosen. What do you look for when judging talent competitions, such as this and Hugo Urban Rules?
STEVE: Someone who can sing or rap would be really good [laughs] - talent. I can't sing for toffee, in my head and in the shower I'm the best singer in the world, but when I'm on my show and I take the mickey, I start rapping on air, not a good look!
What I'm looking for is talent, it doesn't matter what you look like, it's not about a gimmick. I did a TV show a couple of months ago called Chancers with Matthew Knowles, Beyonce's dad, on Channel 4, and I was the main judge there. And what I found funny about the whole thing was that the people with talent just came like they were popping into their local newsagent, just natural and they blew me away, but the ones with the fiery red hair who could juggle at the same time as singing while doing the splits, who were a nightmare.

Jun: ilikemusic because... music can convey a mood, enhance a mood or change a mood. Music can be used to inspire and the artform is simple yet complicated. It's fun to listen to and even more fun to create and perform. It speaks when just a simple word can't. It's a blessing!!
simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
