"Brits get serious + results"

Finally, it looks like theyre at last turning into awards show that is about decent music, it started last year with some respectable nominations but none won anything, this years winners are much better apart from Will Young and Robbie Williams(I always thought Radio 2 listeners had better taste).

Joss Stone for best female was ok although how she won best Urban is beyond me.
Franz Ferdinand deservedly won best rock and group although should have been nominated and won best single
Keane walked off with best album and best newcomers
Gwen Stefani got best international female, don't agre with it, should have been Kelis
Avril Lavigne should have got best pop act but it went to McFly
Will Young getting british single was a disgrace
Muse got live act
Eminem got best international male and a couple of years ago i would have agreed but at least it wasn't bloody Usher
Scissor Sisters win international album, breakthrough and group, the last one probably being the only one should have got.
Robbie Williams won yet another vote to prove once again how dumb the voting public are, if thats the best song of the last 25 years i'll jump off a cliff.
Bob Geldof gets the outstanding contribution to music award, wrongly i think, musically he's not done much in a long time and if anything this is just for his charity work.

Overall it's a big improvement on previous years and i'll be looking forward to next years Brits.

I thought he was referring to me, and my point was that hardly any new artists that are coming through now have anything worthwhile to say. So when he mentioned them i made the point that they were hardly new rappers seeing as they've been around for so long

If you were to ask me that, I wouldn't be able to answer, and that's for a couple of reasons;

I wasn't particularly interested in any of the crap being released, so I can't really remember much of them
That which I can remember didn't interest me much, though that's not to say all of what I remember was crap. It just didn't interest me.

Who'd you have win, then Cyc?
British stuff, remember. From last year.

But they weren't compared to them, were they?

And of course, they are superior.

I don't think that's what Tilt was getting at.

He quoted Flock saying no-one has anything new to say anymore and that the videos are all clichéd.

All those above acts definitely don't fall into that judgement.

Libertines should have won them all. Obviously.

Libertines are the most overratedness ever. But yes, good.

Futureheads are sickening.

Ahaha.
We all know about your eyes, Cyc.

Yuck yuck yuck to you FFF.

Except, some of them bands are alright.

But not deserving of uber praise. In my eyes anyway. YUS.

Although Libs are good. THERE RIBBERS, I SAID IT.
