[crodonilson]

Always one of the calendar, and as one coomercial radio DJ put it this week, 'the greatest night of the entire year', and what a stellar year it has been for British music, boasting one of the strongest ever lineups of talent. Promises to be an epic night, with some sensational live performances and celebrating how good a shape the British music industry is in.

Music is pretty shit these days. All sounds the same

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Music is pretty shit these days. All sounds the same

Good point, well made. George Ezra sounds EXACTLY like Little Mix

Music is pretty shit these days. All sounds the same

Such a lazy answer from anyone over the age of 40. I don't think British music has ever been in a healthier position.

 

[Mellotron]

Music is pretty shit these days.

Stick the word "Chart" at the front and you'd have a point. There is an INSANE amount of great music out there nowadays, if you know where to look.

 

[Durlston]

I'm starting to feel old when I don't recognise the big names in music now.

Rita Ora - so naturally very pretty so why does she have to have boobs jobs and cosmetic surgery? It's entirely up to her of course but she was PERFECT before.

 

[crodonilson]

Backstage live on ITV2 now, main event starts at 8pm. Tension outside is incredible. Massive crowds too.

 

[Sheebo]

Went last year to a certain artists party on a boat on the Thames - can’t believe it’s been a year - too night

 

[crodonilson]

Dan Sturridge announcing the first award.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Music is pretty shit these days. All sounds the same

That is what my dad said to me in about 1974

Surely a tongue-firmly-in-cheek comment?

The incredible variety and innovation of the 60's, the energy of 70's rock and punk, the synth-pop of the 80's and the indie/Brit pop of the 90's.....and never been in a healthier position than now? GTFO.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Kin hell. Last time I saw Littemix they were a chubby x factor bunch. Since when did they cut out the chips and get a job in the strippers?

You & me need to get out more!

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Well done Benny from Crossroads.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Christ I am an old fart!

 

[crodonilson]

Tom Walker wins breakthrough act after releasing 1 single that got to number 19.

****ing joke.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

This is shithouse. Where's Jarvis when you need him?

 

[crodonilson]

Little Mix.

We are in the presence of greatness.

 

[Brighthelmstone]

So far the best thing has been The Greatest Showman!

 

[birthofanorange]

Little Mix.

We are in the presence of greatness.

Actually, you're not far wrong. Some of their harmonies would put The Beach Boys to shame, and Mama Cass would have been proud to have the tonal qualities they possess.
