Brit Awards 2010
What a load of rubbish this was – why did I watch it!
All of Peter Kay’s and the guests’ lines fell dead because all we could hear was a constant murmur from the audience. That’s when they broadcast what they actually said. If they needed to mute Liam Gallagher (because of swearing in this case, not just generally) they could have told us afterwards what he did and said.
The ‘live’ performances were dreadful. Do Lily Allen and Lady Gaga go out of their way to look as awful as possible? I still don’t actually know what Lady Gaga looks like. I also don’t know what she’s famous for besides this. There’s only a couple of her songs I recognise. She was playing something quite good at the piano, then stood up and made a racket.
I know music is subjective but on the Florence and Alicia Keys songs, did anyone prefer the rapping parts to the singing parts? In my opinion they were two good songs if they didn’t have somebody talking over the verses. It wasn’t an improvement on their recorded versions that they sing the whole way through. Other people like to listen to rapping – fine, but do your rapping elsewhere, not over a singer! They’re two separate art forms that don’t combine well.
Robbie Williams? He has actually got a good back catalogue of pop songs but they’re only worth hearing on record because live he prances about more than he sings. (Youtube for Lee Mack’s impression)
Oh and I nearly forgot Fearne Cotton. I’ll keep trying.
