Brit Awards 2012

Embedding not allowed, soz!



A quick highlights reel. Big surprise, it's mostly Adele taking the stage to accept awards. But also Ed Sheeran quite a bit.



I'm still watching the d.v.r'ed Brit Awards, slowly, by bits and pieces.

I'm really impressed by the fashions, men and women's, but particularly men's.

I think they make most of our Grammy attendees look like rich slackers by comparison.

Amazing how many of these artists I don't know, often because they haven't crossed The Drink, but sometimes just because I don't keep up on pop.

For example, I had no idea One Direction was currently at #9 on the Ipod albums chart here in America.

Lee looked up their ages, because I was convinced they were mostly fifteen and sixteen. And they range in age from like 19 to 21.

I swear somebody is giving them puberty-suppressing hormones.

Their management, no doubt. Wouldn't surprise me one bit lol.

Loved the design of the award (Peter Blake). I wonder if they ask a different prominent British artist to design the award each year? If so, I'm sure Damien Hirst had a go at it.

Lee and I both thought at first that Ed Sheeran was Prince Harry.

How embarrassin!

And Rihanna looked amazing. Big surprise.

Bruno Mars always blows me away. He did a much subtler rendition of one of his pop songs. Vocally great, but he didn't show the moves like he did at the Grammys, where I think he totally dominated.

This awards show really loves solo guys with somewhat folksy guitars.

There were beaucoup nominations of coffeeshop singer songwriters guys like that.
