Good point actually, let's give it to Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

It should go to Brits as I'm sure other countries have awards that reward people from their country.

I like Pink but it is cynical she gets it as she is about to release an album.

but can the brits actually lose more credibility? really don't think they can get any lower
after Anne Marie being nominated for album of the year, they're a joke

And the majority of awards at the Brits are for British people only. They already have that so I don’t see a problem.

And maybe it is because she’s got an album coming out but who cares? She still deserves it, it’s not like she hasn’t had the career to back it up. This is long awaited recognition of her talent.

But don’t let any of that stop you from your constant and nauseating negativity about everything.

While I don't think the award has to be exclusive to British acts (although I've always liked the fact it honoured Brits only in that award), P!nk being chosen over the likes of Madonna, Michael Jackson, Kylie Minogue, Cher etc to be the first non-Brit to win one is quite frankly ridiculous. Not saying she doesn't deserve one but the former are far more deserving with their longer (and bigger) success on the British charts...

What’s pretty ridiculous is how people seem intent on downplaying Pink’s achievements. Whether those other artists deserve it or not, she does. It’s not her fault the Brits haven’t chosen to recognise the others.

And can people stop making out like she’s the first international artist to win this award? If any of you had bothered to do your research, you’d know that U2 won it 18 years ago and they’re not British.

This is an award Spice Girls won less than four years after they debuted. They won it before Paul mcCartney, Tom Jones, Sting, Petshop Boys and Oasis but most people deem that acceptable. Pink has been going for 19 years and has been possibly the most consistent artist of the past 2 decades with only Coldplay and Eminem really at that same level of consistency. Let her have her moment, she doesn’t get many.

U2 are Irish yes but not all members were born in Ireland. Dick Evans and Adam Clayton were both born in England so your point there is actually wrong as there are English members of the band.

Nobody is downplaying Pink's achievements at all you are just being overly defensive over the fact people think she shouldn't be getting this award either because it should be for British acts only as it has always been, (hence the name of the awards ceremony), or because her being the first international act over the likes of Madonna, Cher, Michael Jackson, Kylie etc who have achieved far more than her is quite frankly ridiculous.

The Spice Girls achieved more in their 4 years as a group than Pink has in her whole career tbh, again that's no disrespect to Pink who has an incredible career (far longer than the girls) but they were a phenomenon that she has never been, that's why they were recognised (after Paul turned it down btw it was offered to him before them) - then there's the fact that they were British and it's a show celebrating their own home grown talent.
