David Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I don't give a shit about the Brits. I only watched last year because of the fact that the Osbournes were presenting it. That was a car crash and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoobie Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Best British single X Factor Finalists - Hero The shittest cover of a shit song - how can that possibly even be included in the best single? Simon Cowell must have bunged them some cash! The Brit awards are more about the celebrity than the music now I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 They've always been more about the celebrity than the music! Case in point that Annie Lennox would get nominated every year, regardless of if she actually released anything or not. I'd like to hope that MIA would win best female and Elbow would win best group and album, but I can but dream. If Mercy wins best single it will be time to go postal.

Nah - you had to release an album in the specified period to be nominated - so she must have released something. I think they have moved the goalposts quite a bit now tho. Oh and Girls Aloud for best british group and single Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Best British singleThe Brit awards are more about the celebrity than the music now I think. Spot on. I bet either Coldplay (Average media love-in band) or Take That will win British Group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I remember a couple of years ago they made a big deal out of being taken more seriously and nominating people who might actually deserve to be. The Best Female category had the likes of Bjork and Cat Power in it, but was won by Britney or some such shit, kind of summed up the whole thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm sure they wheel out Weller every year. And Scouting for Girls for best live act? Don't make me fucking laugh, unless it was that gig where they were lined up and shot and I didn't here about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Reflex Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 There's a lot of shit in them there lists. I hope Take That don't fucking win, I get sick of hearing them, the only one I like is that Morrison's ad one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I think the only thing the Brit Awards has done for me was when Muse were performing a few years back. After seeing them I thought I must check that band out after only having a passive interest before then. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEjlGJpJXU0&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEjlGJpJXU0&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEjlGJpJXU0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> I don't know if anyone knows but they're actually pretty good live.
