Brit Awards 2017

[crodonilson]

Tonights the night where we can celebrate the great and good of the British music industry and having watched Good Morning Britain they're saying this one could be the best ever.

We've got Polly and Giles coming over for a dinner party and then to watch the big event. Who else is looking forward to this??

Also had a cheeky bet on how many dabs there are tonight. 4-6 looks outstanding value.

Award ceremonies are the dullest things on the planet. I'd rather eat my own FACE than sit through that.

This in SPADES!

I will record this but skip through post event to listen to my favourite artists perform and then delete the crap from my box!

 

[Blues Rock DJ]

Can't believe that posters have taken time to type all the nominees, obviously don't go out much. Would rather stick pins in my eyes than watch these , mostly, unheard of 'luvvies'.
We have award-winning blues artists in the UK, again who no-one's heard of, but still deserving of 'Brit' awards........still can't get that awful memory of Michael Jackson performing the 'Earth Song ?' surrounded by little kids out of my mind, some years ago.
But to actually have friends round to watch it with you........

 

[spring hall convert]

If Skepta doesn't win something there's going to be a serious kurfuffle about the relevance of the Brits again tomorrow.

Ever heard of copy and paste??

In any case, if I get all the award winners right I win £27,000.

Where did you put the bet on crodo? Tried a quick google and couldn't find markets anywhere. Unless they have been taken down now.

I assume you don't include "Earth Song" in your DJ sets? What's your take on Rag'n'Bone man and his bluesy voice, local lad made good?

full of free loaders and ego trippers , not for me

Harsh. I can assure you Polly and Giles are far better than those sorts of shenanigans.

I agree must miss TV and you have just reminded me to either turn it off and put Smooth on the radio or watch something we have recorded.

ANYTHING that involves hundreds of tables of boozed-up slebs, lots of envelopes, lots of clips, lots of gongs, lots of speeches....I'm out. Always drags on for hours, and is never remotely interesting on any level.

Best International Male Solo Artist ? Best Producer ? Brits "Icon" award ?

Seriously....WHO CARES ?

(I appreciate Crodo is the master of hyping the banal, but there are plenty of people who do actually seem bothered about this type of stuff, and I always find it baffling)
