February 24, 20169 yr So boring and predictable Adele would win everything :zzz: Be good when it's back to normal next year and everyone else get's a chance!
February 24, 20169 yr to call somebody as talented as lady gaga 'karaoke' goes beyond being ignorant. legit embarrassed for you :lol: Where did I call her karaoke? Oh, when referring to that performance she did that was karaoke? Legit embarrassed for you not even being able to disect my post correctly :lol:
February 24, 20169 yr to call somebody as talented as lady gaga 'karaoke' goes beyond being ignorant. legit embarrassed for you :lol: GaGa's performance was about GaGa. Lorde's was about Bowie. That's the difference.
February 24, 20169 yr Well I'm disapointed we got no Kanye or Madonna moments this year but it was a well produced show, if a bit too professional. :P Ant & Decs bits really weren't that great. Adele, Little Mix, Lorde and The Weeknd were the best performers!
February 24, 20169 yr Bow down to Godele :cheeseblock: Srsly though, her speeches/that performance shows why she's a deserved winner. That ceremony wasn't TOO much of a disaster this year, may have been lacking a BIG controversial moment, but it made up for it with some good performances and genuine surprise winners, seemed actually quite credible by the Brits standards :kink: Gosh, Ant & Dec are really past it now though, it's for the best they're not presenting next year.

February 24, 20169 yr Adele was fantastic, what a way to close the show :wub: Little Mix remain the best performers of the night for me, alongside James Bay!
February 24, 20169 yr Stunning performance from Adele to close the show - it literally was the Adele show tonight but at least she deserves it after the huge success of 25 and Hello.
February 24, 20169 yr That performance from Adele gave me goosebumps throughout! One of the best performances at the Brit Awards in recent memory! I'd be surprised if WWWY doesn't go to number 1 on iTunes now. We'll see.
February 24, 20169 yr No major controversial moments this year but it was a vintage year for Performances by A-listers. Will be remembered for the Bowie Tribute and Adele's four Awards Edited February 24, 20169 yr by timjimlee
February 24, 20169 yr Little Mix, Lorde and Adele's performances were miles better than anything else. Little Mix ALWAYS mime the chorus, so that they can dance. Because of breathing issues, it's impossible to do both. Look at Justin, he sounded great on Love Yourself, but when he ran over to do Sorry and tried to move at the same time, he sounded terrible.
February 24, 20169 yr Haven't been watching but just looking at the winners, here are my opinions on what won. It actually looks like a decent BRITs for once, especially given the poor nomination list, mainly because of a few pleasing left-field winners. James Bay was possibly the worst choice for British Male, he's the least innovative of the 5 (and in a list with 2015's Calvin Harris that's saying something) and is just a radio filler, based on Hold Back The River and not much else because who remembers anything else. Worst winner but then it almost always is. Adele's awards are all pretty fairly earned I'd say. While I think her dominance is a bit much (as I would anyone's dominance), there wasn't really much competition in Album or Female Solo artist and Hello is one of about three (with 'King' and 'Black Magic') that I'd say are good enough to win Single. Coldplay winning British Group is well-earned if pretty predictable. I'd have maybe chosen Y&Y ahead of them this year given they've had more of an impact in volume but they'd have been second and still are putting out consistent quality this far into their career. I'm just glad 1D didn't win that one because that would have been a travesty. Tame Impala's victory is very nice indeed. I'm not as familiar with them as I'd like to be but they're doing great things lately from what I have heard and I think they stand to gain the most from all five on that list from winning. Catfish and the Bottlemen taking Breakthrough ahead of three more successful acts is EXCELLENT. I guess, given that was public voted, just shows how forgettable James and Jess are as acts to get excited over, despite their hit singles. Years & Years are slightly better in that regard and I wouldn't have minded seeing them take it but again, they're less... pushing the boundaries against what's popular and just putting forth well-sung pop. And I think the 'breakthrough' award really should embody the former. Wolf Alice I'd have preferred over the Bottlemen as I've loved hugely what they've done last year and my opinion is that they're the most talented act in the whole BRIT awards but I like what Catfish are doing too. Bieber I'm not going to say much about, I've been left cold by him but this was undeniably his year. Now can he piss off forever? I'd be happy with that. Bjork, I'm cool with, she's never been one to play it safe and though she passed me by this year she'd be a deserving winner in any year. Would have preferred Courtney Barnett but the others wouldn't have been good winners and I'm so glad we dodged the bullet of Trainor. Video remains a joke as long as there's a pretty boyband video nominated, it remains public voted, and no videos noteworthy for their video moreso than the song are nominated. On that, Photograph would have been an alright winner. The whole thing has felt for a while now like an award show with too few categories and variance in what gets nominated, in order to represent the musical preferences of everyone, and instead just represents what major labels have been backing to get tons of airplay and some watered-down mass appeal, but given that we have to deal with that in one way or another, this winners list looks nearly as good as it could have been. So I'm cool with that.
