*** The Brit Awards *** (itv @ 8pm)

Ye won't need a big bag of crisps

I'll be having Soul-t and vinegar

An apt post

British music took over the world in the 60s.
The Beatles, The Stones and The Who.
Nothing in their class nowadays.

Indeed G2D.

I hope Kanye West behaves himself when Rik Waller wins the lifetime achievement award.

Plenty of excellent British artists about, aka. None of them will win a Brit though, they'll be relieved to know.

Indeedy

never watched it and tonight will be no different

Bb, surely it's better to watch it then u can state your opinion that British music is boilx rather than not watch it?

Maybe so Mikael but none of them could hope to make the impact that these groups and many others made in the 60s.
Changed the face of music.

Would you need to see a train crash to know it wasn't a good thing?

If the Beatles or Stones were starting out today, they'd be lucky to get played on the radio.

Today's music is sihte. Will be going to Spoons.

And what is it about Ned Sherrin. Such a boring ****!

rallycross is on Motors TV

The GINGer revoloution. There's a few of em about now. PC an all that..

Mikael D'Haguenet

Probably not given all the manufactured chyte that gets played.
Name one present star who's had such an impact as any of the three groups I've named.

That's my point. It's impossible for any credible artist to have the kind of impact that any of those had, even if you are overstating the Who's significance. None of them would win X-Factor!

Bernard Butler is largely responsible for the success of Duffy - memorably described by Tommy Toes as 'the human kazoo.' He should be shot!

I have often wondered how he ended up with the name Kanye, do you think his mum n dad meant to call him Kenya but we're p***** up and spelled it wrong?

Love Swifty!

Madonna making an appearance later.

This is dog poo but its better than watching whats going on in North London

only here for Madge

Ohh FFS, not Tax That

NOT A N WORD IN SIGHT....PHEW

You'd think Palma would have washed her hands before going onstage?

Faf!!!

She's still pretty agile isn't she?

oh dear

Where's grado?

A load of old bull

All u mugs who switched off?
You all wish you'd watched it now don't ya?

just battered and bruised apparently. but that's the risk you take as one of Madge's dancers.

ROFL watched 143times on twitter

that capemaker will be looking for a new job

Little Chinese guy who pulled the Cape off will be making clothes for primary next week

Madge deserves some credit the way she just carried on, she must have hurt herself it looked a hard fall. All night Ant & Dec going-on-and-on-and-on about Madonna........ and she gets thrown off stage by one of her dancers as soon as she starts singing !!!!

fair play to Madge - if that had been Jack Wilshere, he'd still be down there now

seem to remember a posh kid 'florence and the machine ' being all the rage last year or year before, i take it currenty residing in the ' where are you now file '

Morpteh Mackem, you're wrong about Florence. She's back with a new album this year and there is even talk of her headlining Glastonbury though i would be surprised. She's certainly going to be doing some very big gigs. I'm not saying i like her (i think she's just average but certainly better than most of that Brit awards dross), but she hasn't gone away.

Florence Leontine Mary Welch was born in Camberwell, London on 28 August 1986. Her British father is Nick Welch, an advertising executive.[5] Her mother, Evelyn Welch, is an American expatriate from New York[5] who was educated at Harvard University and the Warburg Institute, University of London.[6] She is currently Professor of Renaissance Studies and Vice-Principal for Arts and Sciences at King's College London.[7] Nick and Evelyn later divorced in 1990,[8] and both remarried;[9] when she was 13 years old, Welch, her mother, and her two younger siblings moved in with their next-door neighbour and his three teenage children. According to Welch, "We get on brilliantly now, but it was a nightmare then. I just used to stay in my room and dance around".[10] Welch is the niece of the satirist Craig Brown[5] via Brown's wife and Welch's aunt, Frances Welch,[11] and granddaughter of former deputy editor of The Daily Telegraph and former Daily Mail parliamentary sketchwriter James Colin Ross Welch, originally of Cambridgeshire.[11][12]

Welch's fascination with terror and doom was intensified by the death of her grandparents within a few years of each other.[1] At 10 years old, Welch witnessed her paternal grandfather Colin's deterioration following a stroke and death on 28 January 1997;[9] at 14 years old, her maternal grandmother, an art historian who had suffered from manic depression,[8] committed suicide.[1] During her youth, Welch was encouraged by her Scottish paternal grandmother, Sybil Welch (née Russell),[11] to pursue her performing and singing talents;[13] Welch sang "Over the Sea to Skye" at her paternal grandmother's funeral, following her death from a stroke.[13] Welch sang at her maternal grandmother's funeral as well.[14] Welch's dead grandmothers inspired numerous songs on Florence and the Machine's début album, Lungs.[15] Although she has an American passport via her mother, growing up, she did not spend much time in the United States.[14]

Florence was educated at Thomas's London Day School then went onto Alleyn's School, South East London, where she did well academically,[1] despite her diagnoses of dyslexia and dyspraxia.[16] Welch often got in trouble in school for impromptu singing.[1] Upon leaving secondary school and "just bumming around Camberwell where I lived, working at a bar and thought that I should start doing something with life", Florence studied at Camberwell College of Arts before dropping out to focus on her music.[1] Initially, she had intended to take a year out from her studies to "see where the music would go and then it started going somewhere so I never went back".[14]

One of the flame throwers in Kanye West's Declaration of War failed to fire....that guy must have felt so useless

Perhaps that's where Dizzy Rascal ended up..
