xilddx Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I'm usually on here defending the BRITs against those who say pop music is sh*t, but I'll be the first to admit that tonight is depressing. Appalling production from ITV, James Cordon comes over as a massive prick, and even Beyonce couldn't lift it, what a boring song and performance. Looking forward to seeing Ellie Goulding and if she can be the diamond in the dogshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynepunkdude Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 It has been woeful, I was looking forward to Lorde's performance but even that was crap. Cordon is awful and I wish they'd work out the difference between a group and a band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]To be fair that's what i always thought, not that i've heard too much. i heard her speak on X factor, kinda posh-ish middle class then started singing with a mockney twang. Although she's so hot right now (affects Mugatu twang) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I think she`s got a very nice voice. Not the style of music I buy, but I like listening to her music when it comes on the radio. Thought her version of Elton Johns Your Song was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer.b Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Got roped into watching by the missus and like 2 years ago the highlight for me was jamereo artis with Bruno Mars, great player. Sound was sh*t for Eliie Goulding but I'm not sure it's mockney to sing with english vowel sounds ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfisher Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Just read on the BBC website that Bowie won best male artist. I have no particular problem with that but it must say something about the state of our young talent at the moment. Guess he's not too popular in Scotland right now though.

Skybone Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 James Corden is the new Ricky Gervais... a complete an utter, unfunny arse. However, the highlight was Kylie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lw. Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Have completely avoided watching the Brits in recent years; James Corden is a moron, the program drags on way too long (or is just boring) & the whole thing with surprise about winning is a farce, the labels all know who has won what weeks in advance - the party is just their excuse to get drunk with their mates & bask in their own success (assuming you count about 15 years of decline whilst still earning money a success). Then they have the audacity to charge people to get in to watch! It's certainly not for me any more, though at least in the past they did have some good music & performances.

steve-bbb Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 just to see what everybody is bleating on about having not watched the brits i decided to search it on youtube i made it to 1:40 tis one thing to sing with such style (or affectation if you prefer) but regardless of her unique err style, her delivery comes across as weak and lame possibly overawed by the occasions and the expectation to deliver imho ymmv mcton etc etc as an aside. not being one to personally dabble in the vocal arts these days, does a vocal style like that present issues with autotune?
