The Brits 2009

Can you IMAGINE if robbie appeared on stage now?

Are they miming??

Sorry I know I'm late to this thread but I'd just like to say:

Oh my god Take That in glasses I want them, all of them!!!

I am very dissappointed with the miming! pfft.

I know, not good Mr Barlow and co.

BGB, your avatar - is the round thing near the bottom a belly button or is the woman leaning on the back of someone else who's facing right? The round thing being an armpit. Or is the round thing none of the above?

I'd be gobsmacked if Take That were miming, they very rarely do, and I don't think you're allowed to mime at The Brits. They were AMAZING, I am even more excited about seeing them in the summer!

Woo - Maiden get a Brit!

Chicken - it's a belly button plus a fold.

Fantastic Iron Maiden.

Nice to see Eddie there too!

I am glad maiden won they are brilliant live.

Sorry Hole, they were most definitely miming. Don't think there's a ban on miming at the Brits - certainly seen it in the past. Can't understand why they were miming though as they really can sing. Unlike 4/5 of Girls Aloud.

Absolutely!

What!?

ELBOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ELBOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!! ELBOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark Owen looked like The Bear off Bo Selecta! Rubbish of them to mime, what a poor show from TT.

Glad Elbow won. They were incredible at Glasto - I wasn't much of a fan up til then, but they were incredible.

Im seeing Elbow in Bristol in a few weeks, im not really into them but going with Dad who is - quite looking forward to it now!

Am gutted, I didn't expect TT to win against Coldplay or Radiohead and would have been pleased with either of those, but fecking Elbow! Pah.

Kings of Leon now, Whoot!

And they weren't even miming well ? Sometimes it is hard to tell but that was blatant miming.

My friend is telling me that TT are on twice?? I wonder if it is true and if it is they better not mime next time.

Re: TT, maybe Gary is poorly, or saving his energy for his Kili climb, it is really very unusual for them to mime <clutching at straws icon>

BGB, I am so pleased that yet another 'muso' type person rates TT, I'm so glad they're finally getting recognised as the great band they are now, not plagued by the boybandness of the early 90s. Their interview in this month's Q is brilliant, they even say that they hate the fact they started as a manufactured band.

The Hoff is a bit of a mentalist and his suit is huge, wonder who he has borrowed it off.

We've caught up now, which is a shame as it means we can't fast forward Ferne Cotton anymore.

Maybe TT mimed because the logistics of getting a live performance on that chandelier thingy would have been difficult? Seems strange though.

Am so glad that Iron Maiden won ? but I am watching this feeling like a real old fart. I haven't heard of half of the nominees.

My friend's just texted me to say she's going to the aftershow in a new dress and a vintage fur coat purchased for her by her mum.

she lives some crazy life, she went to a party at ralph fiennes' house the other night, and she spent £1000 on 4 pairs of shoes (half price in the sales, apparently). she's a lovely girl, we were friends at uni - she's just split up with her long-term other half. i hope she finds some delicious popstar to treat her nicely ?

Eeeew. That doesn't go.

Estelle has ruined the Ting Tings

Oh de-eh, they didn't need Estelle did they ?

Ooh, not liking this at all. Ouch.

My ears hurt!

That was rubbish but I have just realised I actually really like the Ting Tings I mgith have to download the album.

YAY for Girls Aloud.

?

not watching it, but i'm prepared to wager she's said 'amaaaaaaazing' a good dozen or so times by now

does she look grubby tonight? i always think she looks like she needs a bath...

Do you know, I'm chuffed Girls Aloud have finally won a brit.

"I think I just wet myself"!!!!!?
