[Other Sport] Brit Awards 2023

[crodonilson]

Always the greatest night on the British musical calendar as we get to pay homage and reward our greatest artists for their performances over the last year. Never too far away from scandal this year is no different as there is a huge outcry that now categories have been consolidated from the old male/female categories to become more inclusive, there are no artists who recognise as female in the Best Artist category.



Only confirmed artist so far is Sam Smith, they will be performing a medley of their greatest hits which is sure to be incredible as they are on the best live artists on the planet. In a break with tradition the Awards will move from their traditional midweek slot to Saturday 11th February.

Full list of nominees below (my predictions in bold and to keep my interest through the night will probably do an acca and some 7 and 8 folds).

I’m sorry, Cat Burns, Fred Again and Wet Leg cannot be real

Great to see the legendary Sam Smith in there and earning a Crodo hot pick. They have been something else in the modern music era. Yes, they.

I’m sorry, I’m all for being a bit liberal in life etc but what the actual f*** does he look like!?

You mean what do they look like?

This made me chuckle.

What's 'wrong' with that they look like?

Edited my post as can’t be bothered to debate and am just honest. He looks cracking - lovely fella I’m sure, ignoring the lockdown videos he did

 

[Tom Bombadil]

I think you should have left it up Sheebo, theres just not enough people calling out unwarrented testicle exposure

But I guess his reply would be ‘I bet you don’t mind womens cleavages’. Then, because I’m too honest and say it how I see it, I’d have replied with ‘yes I love a good rack - brilliant to look at - but I don’t like disgusting mens testicles’ - then I’d have been accused of being whatever label fitted and the thread would have gone into a binfest… I do love a good set of TITS though

I'm not interested in debate either, just people's opinions. In this instance, what you, seemingly, took offence with, regarding how someone looks. Or, more to the point, why it matters what someone looks like?

Throwaway comment - based upon what I know about the bloke and his attention seeking. And an honest initial reaction to testicles and a tied crop top with a belly hanging out - nothing more

More good news, the hilarious Mo Gilligan will once again be presenting, expect a barrell load of laughs and some uncomfortable home truths about racism in the music industry.

Would be great to see him do a follow up to this when he actually understands or gets Ricky Gervais’ work - but won’t ever happen

Each to their own. Some people find other being different instrincally fun, some don't
