Brits has really lost it's appeal. The line-up of who is performing really says it all. I used to be a big fan of the brits but just have no interest. It's a case of giving the awards to whoever can be bothered to turn up. If Kylie wins best international album the brits would have confirmed that it is a joke.

I haven't spoke to one person yet who cares about the Brit Awards this year. With the exception of Paul McCartney, nobody really cares about any of these artists/bands featured. The Arctic Monkeys have got it right, just don't turn up!

What amazingly cringe-worthy TV.
I wanted to turn off as soon Mika came on but I stuck with it, there was some good nominations anyway and promise of good music.
Well for a start there was no good music, only bad miming and an awful colaboration between Klaxons and Rihanna. Then all the awards were wrong, do Take That even play instruments? No! So how can they be put up against the talent of Muse who lets not forget put on two amazing shows at Wembley Stadium last year.
After a bad hour and a half I was given some joy though, extremly pissed up Arctic Monkeys were hilarious and after the shit recent Macca single he did play a couple of greats.
