The Brits 2009

I thought that was dull dull dull dull dull. Even the lovely Brandon didn't liven it up.

Oh and HH, it was the way that their mouths weren't moving in time with the sound which made it look that way ?

She has!! shes written for Pussycat dolls, New kids on the block and Akon to name a few.

I am unashamedly a fan.?

Yay for them there pet shop boys. Boo for no Panninarro (sp?) though. Or Domino Dancing. Or Rent.

Loving Chris Lowe's Nick Rhodes tribute frightwig as well.

Yay also for Girls Aloud. Although why do they let Nadine Coyle speak - "Thenk yous" - ?

That was so goood. Although the Gaga bird and the weird bloke with the owl on his shoulder were completely pointless. No idea what they were about.

Camp as Christmas, but that's the point. Loved it. Fairly sure Neil was singing live. I think maybe the sound and picture is very slightly out of sync, probably owing to the time delay (so they can bleep out swearing etc).

Bit toe curling, wasn't it?

Bit toe curling, wasn't it?

Well that was an alright show and my H hasn't complained about the shite music I like, though i think the only reason for that was because maiden won an award.

The tribute act have to perform live. Which is why apparently the Rolling Stones won't accept it.

I thought TT were miming as well. And was a bit disappointed at the very slow coming down and going up machine they had. I heart them, so hope they weren't miming.

Incidentaly, did anyone else think the camera work of the show was awful. I have no interest in millions of long shots of the audience - I want to see the acts please.

Time delay sync busines as Katchoo said, PSB also suffered from it. I knew TT wouldn't mime ?

ONE, she's so beautiful and such a good singer and then she goes to speak and you hear that voice. It makes me cringe every time. And you can see interviewers trying to work out what she's saying. ?

Poor Beck. Destined to become the Kate Bush/Annie Lenox of "Best International Male" - nominated every year and never winning.

Hmmmmmm, steward's enquiry ? I do love them btw. I just thought that they didn't look like they were trying at all and that the voices projected couldn't have come from them, what with the way they looked. iyswim

Who was the chap signing with Pet Shop Boys please

Yep I am an old fart lol

By the way, I loved the Craid David joke, even when he was 'big' he couldn't nick himself a brit ?

She is from my home town. random(i know her family well) random

But we dont all sound like that!! my daughter and i reached for cushions to cringe at the same time when she spoke.lol?

Shes a nice girl though. Although admittedly i know her older sister much better.

Brandon Flowers. Lead singer of The Killers

Brandon Flowers, from popular American beat combo The Killers.

She's actually so 'Norn Iron' that she sounds like a pastiche.

Yeah, there was obviously something going on with the audio. I rather suspect that they're eager to prevent us hearing anyone's views, should they be somewhat leftfield or blue. Dunno where they got the notion that anything like that may happen at the Brits.

Thank you x

Thank you x

Doesn't Nadine live mostly in LA now, which is why her accent is as awful as it it?

<has bad flashbacks to Joss Stone at The Brits 2007> - <vomits>

I'm going to see The Killers next week. I may marry Brandon.

The whole family have went to LA for good.

But that was a true (if severe) derry accent.lol

I thought it may have softened a bit, esp as i read somewhere a while back that she was having voice or dialect coaching or something. It hasnt. lol

No Hole, no LA in there. Just a particularly prominent (London)Derry accent. It's always been like that. ?

Fair play to her though for not toning it down just to let other people understand her ?.

I don't think my accent's that bad, yet when I lived in Engerland my boss used to tell me off when her son picked up my Norn Iron ways of saying things like cow, shower, film etc.

She's have come out of that so much better if she'd owned up to just being pissed! My toes curled for her!

Ahh the proper way you mean

With the exception of film, which is embarrasing.

I only said filum when I moved there. Maybe it's the same affliction as NC.

My english friends used to torture me by trying to make say "Howard". Bastards.

I get asked to say " hours" too. lmao

I got 'dwarf' for some reason...
