Brit Awards

[Thedelldays]

am watching this.....for some reason

we really do churn out some utter turd with the odd diamond thrown in....

 

 

One Direction just won a gong for best single........never even heard of it...ffs

[Saintandy666]

One Direction are on the latest acts to come out of Simon Cowell's publicity machine, the 'X factor'. They are pretty awful.

[trousers]

[Jonnyboy]

they are all banging that girl in her 30s though!

[RonManager]

30 seconds lip service to Amy Winehouse then quickly moving along.

 

As if it's some kind of begrudging contractual obligation.

 

Vacuous c*nts.

Adele really shouldn't ever open her mouth... to speak. She should be made to sing everything she wants to say for the rest of her life.

[Micky]

One Direction - really - the Brit awards. Desperate. Best Single, honestly????

[The Cat]

It's awful. Barely anyone with any artistic merit at all. Only watching it because my other half had it on when I came back from the gym. Now I have demolished 6 pancakes I'm turning over.

[latter day saint]

i thought Corden had lost some weight ?

[SNSUN]

Never heard of most of these. Music has been shyte for ages. Not sure who this Wotsit is, but I recognised Cesc Fabregas.

[swannymere]

Wow, you're all really too cool for school, that's why you're on the computer posting on a forum. Lol.

[SuperMikey]

Very few 'artists' on that list of nominees whose music will stand the test of time. All flash in the pan manufactured sh!te.

Why is everyone sounding like my parent's parents c.1961 ?

I was thinking something similar - it's like the Beatles never happened.

[Dr Who?]

Bring on the NME awards, it has a little more balls.

 

Do like Adele though, but agree she should not speak!

[hypochondriac]

It's pop, meaning designed to appeal to a broad market. Broad markets usually mean a low quality, or something simplistic.

 

We all enjoy some of it, but for anyone with any taste it's not going to be their favourite. Same way you may have a preferred beer, whisky, wine, cheese etc if you're into one of those and appreciate the finer things, but can still down a fosters and dairylea some nights.

 

TBF I like Blur and they won an award.

[hypochondriac]

And I still don't seem to know any Adele songs. See her in the paper all the time, don't know if I've heard any songs. Guess some will have been in films, adverts maybe.

 

I heard the someone like you song she did because it was played all the time. Other than that I don't know any songs.

Don't read too much into the One Direction award. It's voted for by the public, which actually means "feverishly repeat-dialled by 12-15 year old girls", at great expense to their parents, I would imagine.

[supersonic]

Why was Jessie J nominated for "breakthrough" artist??

[trousers]

Music. Almost as important as football.

[solentstars]

Bring on the NME awards, it has a little more balls.

i agree but i cannot help feeling she is not a patch on amy winehouse for vocals

[Saint-scooby]

Have to agree, I saw the Royal Albert DVD, amazing singing voice.....

Or the voice of experience ?

[Hatch]

I sat there watching it with the bird, and everytime the nominations came up and just sat there saying ' Who?'.....'Who?'........'Who?'...

 

Glad One Direction won though, they are super talented and probably going to be bigger than The Beatles.

[trousers]

Can someone help me out?

 

I never understand the objective of discussions whereby person A says music X is good and music Y is rubbish.

 

Surely person A should be saying they like music X but don't like music Y rather than making a subjective judgement as to which music is better than the other?

 

If person A doesn't like music Y it doesn't mean music Y is bad. That would be a terribly arrogant leap of logic...

A little from column A, and a little from column B.

 

I related the SaintsWeb anguish to the "scouse massive" in my car on the school run this morning, citing my opinion that it was probably repeat-dialling that secured the vote.

 

However, my 12 year old promptly told me "you can only vote once". I asked how they stopped people from voting more than once, and she said that you had to give your email in.

 

So, my new theory is that there are a feckton of new gmail and hotmail addresses that have been created to get them this accolade.

 

This was met with the following response from the 16 year old ( not a One Direction fan, btw ).

 

"Could you be arsed?"

Rigging polls by multiple voting? Now, that gives me an idea the next time a Saints player appears on one of those online polls.... ;-)

[Jez]

When you have Chase & Status in a category that is voted for by Radio 2 listeners, you do wonder how these things are organised.
