"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.

Apart from Lemar who has done a couple of songs i didn't find awful the rest, in my opinion, are a load of crap.

However saying that at the moment the American urban scene, apart from a few artists, isn't much better. I doubt we'll ever get back to the quality of the golden era of the late 80's to early 90's

The other nominations were The Streets, Dizzie Rascal Jamelia and Lemar, the last two aren't awful, i can see why the critics rave over Dizzie and i'm rapidly becoming a big fan of Mr Skinner, British urban music is far from crap.

Gwen Stefani has released one single from that album, i've nothing else from it to go on although i've heard good things.

I noticed when i was reading that the catergory wasn't British or International.

And the rest is complete tosh.

Good tunes, terrible lyrics.

Keane's album is great.

Ahahaha, so true.
