Default How bad is the Brits this year....

Half the presenters are so battered they can hardly speak, and the acceptance speeches are a load of piffle......(Vic Reeves should be shot)

Great advert for British music.......

I can accept artists coming up to accept awards being a little pished but Vic Reeves was an embarassment. I hope his fee is withdrawn!

I doubt it would be acceptable to turn up to my job as pished as he was!

Did Radiohead head get nominated and subsequently win best Album for In Rainbows ? If the answer to either of these question is no, then it is final and conclusive proof that the Brits it a complete ****ing waste of time.

That thought crossed my mind too. He is about as funny as a severe dose of diarrhoea (sp)

Have to admit, I thought it was crap too. Wish I'd just watched sky cops and crimewatch instead.

Not nominated because they defied the recording industry (IMHO)

I caught a few of the acts, WineMerchant isn't my cup of tea, the Osbournes were crap and as for the awards themselves...and the winners...why bother? A waste of prime time TV if you ask me. I watched some stuff (Armstrong and Miller, Jongleurs Unleashed) that I recorded on Sky+ instead, Much more entertaining.

Wish I'd watched paint dry,rather than that rubbish.

Saying that, I have no idea about what really went on, I stopped paying attention early on, and just perused SN for a bit.

Probably not a pee she was dying on.....




......probably more likely dying on a bag of pills, a smoke and a line of something

Absolutely dire! I'd never heard any of Mika's stuff before this and I obviously haven't missed a thing. He sounded like he was being castrated over a PA system!
Apparently Whingerhouse hadn't gone to any of the rehearsals and it showed - she was so out of time on the 'Valerie' cover (crap first time round too!)
Oh, and why did Sharon Osborne have to start swearing like a sewer rat later on - was it because no-one was paying attention to her?!?!?

Another Ice Road Truckers watcher here - followed by Grand Designs (£300,000 on groundworks!!)!

Listening to some of the live bits on Chris Moyles show on the way in this morning - how weak were singers like Mika and Rhianna? - warble warble - squeak! As my Nan used to say "they couldn't carry a tune in a bucket!"

Even the cats ran out of the room at Mika's high pitched squeaks!
Personally, I thought Leona sounded like a sheep bleating on a hillside, but I'm not a fan of this kind of music (which begs the question why I was watching in the first place, I know!!)

I actually quite like the stuff he's released, but last night he was just awful, as was every presenter (especially the embrassment to the North that is Chris Moyles).

Vic Reeves stopped being funny 10 years ago IMO, or I just got older, not sure. I quite liked Vic and Bob (and George!).

Adele is rather rotund, she couldnt chase a pavement if she tried... She'd probably roll off one if she sat by the kerb...
