Honestly, I'm still bitter about Steps losing out on Best Newcomer to Belle & Sebastian.

It's the Brits! I'm really only tuning in for Gaga, but whatever. Liveblog!


So many questions! Is Lily Allen miming to a "live" recording? What the fuck is up with the prams? And the military guys in pink? IDEK.

"Twenty minutes of entertainment dragged over a two-hour show." IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S TRUE. "Responsible fun"? Peter Kay sounds like Monica. "Rules help control the fun!"

FUCK YEAH, SPICE GIRLS. Oh, ouch, they could only get two of them? Don't tell me Mel C had anything better to do tonight.

Wow, I don't give a fuck about Dizzee Rascal. Are we really only ten minutes into this show?

I don't really case much about JLS, but I APPROVE OF BOYBANDS FLYING AROUND ON STRINGS. \o/ I hope they win Best Group on principle (because they're not a bunch of white guys with guitars) but I know they never will.

Ugh. FUCK OFF, FEARNE COTTON.

LOL, "Yorkshire's answer to Beyonce". So far Peter Kay's pretty good. At least he's not Russell Brand! As for Jay-Z winning, I really don't care. He doesn't seem too enthusiastic about it either. LOLLL, "Glaston-berry"

I assume they're doing the Best Album of the last 30 Years award now because it's going to be such an embarrassment. And just to give it that little bit more credibility, they've got Noddy Holder presenting. WTF. Not surprised that Oasis won, and at least it wasn't Coldplay, but wow, how underwhelming.

"I'm on fire." And Kasabian have fire on the stage. SUBTLE AND INSPIRED.

Seriously, wake me up when Gaga's on.

How has Mel B been on three times in half an hour? Seriously, it's not 1997 anymore.

Just seen that Joe McElderry fans have made #goodluckmcelderry trend on Twitter. I'm sure it won't happen - although, I think it's voted by the public? - but I think after the Rage Against the Machine debacle it'd be hilarious if he managed to get a Brit Award.

Geri, you don't get to be all "where are you now?" to Kula Shaker when you haven't had any chart success in YEARS.

Aw, JLS are all adorably excited. :D You know that if this wasn't voted for by the public, Florence and the Machine would have won.

Bangin' shoulder pads, Courtney Love.

Ellie Goulding: is she actually any good? I find this whole Critics Choice award a bit ridiculous; it's all about the music industry congratulating themselves on "predicting" someone's success, but really all they're doing is creating it.

FUCK YEAH, GAGA. \o/ That was awesome. Not the kind of massive show-stopping performance I was expecting, but awesome - and as this night's supposed to be about British music, it's probably quite good that she didn't completely overshadow everyone. Can't make Cheryl Cole look bad, y'know? ;) And unlike Geri Halliwell, I think it was cool that she didn't just do one of the hits. (And, Geri: BUY GAGA'S FUCKING ALBUM.)

I feel like I might as well stop watching at this point. Only halfway through?

Ugh, Kasabian. I feel vaguely like I ought to like them, because they're from my hometown, but... I don't. Muse should've won.

Gaga's got International Breakthrough in the bag, surely? FUCK YES. Ohh, she's all emotional! I LOVE HER SO MUCH.

Honestly, I'd rather just see Florence perform by herself. DNW Dizzee Rascal. Seriously, I might enjoy this performance if he wasn't part of it. What an awkward and bizarre pairing!

LOL WHAT PRINCE HARRY?

Gaga's got to get this one too, surely? AWESOME! And she has her teacup! ♥

I'm hoping Florence gets British Female. Oh, but Lily Allen is okay too. IDK, I quite like Lily's music, but I don't really like her all that much.

Well, I'm not even pretending to pay attention to this Jay-Z/Alicia Keys duet. Boooooring.

Oh, seriously, why is Fearne Cotton here? No one cares about this backstage stuff. And Jonathan Ross is just embarrassing.

I want Gaga to win this one even more than the others! *crosses fingers* FUCK YES!! (LOL at them using a clip from Bad Romance, which isn't even from The Fame.) PROOF THAT GAGA IS THE GREATEST THING ABOUT MUSIC RIGHT NOW, Y/Y?? Ohhh, I just want to hug her! ♥ ♥ ♥

Okay, that's quite a cool entrance, Cheryl. I approve! Shame your music is still rubbish and your husband is a douche. Please don't fight fight fight fight fight for his love. (And please learn how to mime properly.)

Oh God, I hate Alan Carr SO MUCH.

Why do I feel weirdly affectionate for JLS? I'm really happy for them, even though that's not my favourite single of the ones nominated (I probably would've gone for 'The Fear').

Tom Ford is kind of a random presenter! I'd like for Florence and the Machine to win Best Album, but I wouldn't count on it. Oh, AWESOME! Suck it, Lily Allen. I love Lungs; it's my unofficial soundtrack to Bedlam, so I'm super happy. :D Actually kind of an awesome night in terms of who won!

Okay, is it just Robbie now? Fuck that, I'm done for the night.

ITS SO BORING!
I love GaGa but it didnt really improve it much.
Where is the comment on the sam fox bit? It went down hill from there lol

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2010-02-16 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Seriously, I'd stop watching but I want to see Gaga win her awards.

LOL I can't even remember the Sam Fox bit, I was barely paying attention.

[identity profile] 00emsy00.livejournal.com 2010-02-16 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Just got to add awww!
I wanted to hug GaGa, i take back what I said.
Cheryl singing fight for this love soon ...

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2010-02-16 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Is Cheryl actually singing that? That's got to be awkward, in light of what's happened...

[identity profile] 00emsy00.livejournal.com 2010-02-16 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Well that was what she planned!
What would be better though, 3 words or the one about him always there to catch her!
I want girls aloud to come on to make it all better for her.
Lily Allen winng over F+TM?!
You are the only thing keeping of sain

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2010-02-16 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee, you're right, probably anything would be awkward.

I'm really surprised Lily Allen won! I thought Florence was a lock.

[identity profile] 00emsy00.livejournal.com 2010-02-16 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
GaGa won again! :D
Gutted for Florence :(
(I just need to tell someone that when that Alicia Keys/Jay z crap was on my sister and her bf sang alond. i want to kill myself. my gf need to gtfo of the shower)
I TOLD YOU ABOUT CC

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2010-02-16 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm so happy for Gaga! :D She deserves it.

Ouch, having people singing along must make it even worse!

[identity profile] 00emsy00.livejournal.com 2010-02-16 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
It was ...
Yeah, and I didnt think she would be that emotional about a brit.
FLORANCE WON!!!

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2010-02-16 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
SO HAPPY FOR FLORENCE! \o/

I have to go out, but I effing LOVE what Lady GaGa turned up in turned. She's the most amazeballs person. Not been listening but I'll watch tomorrow!
I hear Oasis have won something.... awkward....

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2010-02-16 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Oasis won best album of the last 30 years for What's the Story (Morning Glory). Only Liam turned up, and I think he gave the award to someone in the crowd? LOL

Gaga >>> everyone ever.

I am only watching to see what Cheryl does. I want TEARS and PUBLIC DUMPING or something.

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2010-02-16 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
THAT WOULD BE AMAZING. Can you imagine how awkward it'll be if she sings 'Fight For This Love'?

[identity profile] ems.livejournal.com 2010-02-16 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
AND IT WAS TOTALLY AWKWARD. :(

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2010-02-16 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
IKR? OH, CHERYL. :(

[identity profile] joban.livejournal.com 2010-02-16 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey - I'm de-lurking for the simple reason that you're also from Leicester! I met Tom Meighan and one of the guitarists (the American one?) at The Shed many years back. I politely told them they were obnoxious but put on a good live show.

Oh, and I like your fics (I'm just pretty shit at the whole feedback thing, but you're writing's great and your general blogs are damn entertaining! Sorry I haven't written anything sooner!).

Your thoughts and feelings on the Brits pretty much summed up mine too; I had most of the show on mute to avoid repetitive strain injury from constant cringing.

Anyways, keep up the good work :)

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2010-02-17 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Ahh, another Leicester person! Awesome! Thanks for delurking and being so nice. ♥

The Brits are always pretty lame I think (I actually haven't watched in a few years) but at least some of the right people won, so that's okay. :D

LOL I had no idea! I don't actually keep up to date with what the Spice Girls are doing anymore. ;)
