Well we all have our opinions :lol: Although most people I've spoken to loved the sentiment and emotion of her performance. She dominated the Brits tonight, but I think people saw a new side to her, both in her performance and acceptance speeches. Not many people understand GaGa... Behind the whole sex thing, the outrageous fashion and the bizarre performances, people forget she's human... Maybe she genuinely felt too upset at the loss of someone who she adored to sing upbeat songs with an elaborate setting...

Agreed. Also, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. I am beginning to seriously dislike ESOM but they (especially Alicia) gave fantastic performance. The emotion in GaGa's performance was clear. Her acoustic songs are often what make people realise her true talent.

THIS It should be like the Eurovision... half public vote, half panel of experts :) Either way... WELL DONE GAGA!!

don't worry about GaGa... Telephone will get some form of boost from the Brits and the video is coming soon, after which it will EXPLODE

:o lady gaga 100k+ AGAIN!!

IMO GaGa looks great :) She's the only person that always makes me happy when I see what she's wearing :)

did you see the one where her hair has been fashioned into telephones?? awesome :) http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1631918/2...lady_gaga.jhtml i'm hoping this is will be as good as it looks. totally has the potential to be the 21st century's answer to thriller :) expect it to rocket up the charts :)

She wanted to change it to all black, playing two acoustic songs and having pictures of Alexander McQueen in the background. Thankfully, it has been reported that she has been convinced against that. I know the death of Alexander McQueen was upsetting but a tribute at the Brits wouldn't really have been appropriate. Her first performance sounded amazing though. I hope she does that...

THIS :P I hate Ashley Cole though, he treats her like dirt. Glad to see Parachute climbing and Bad Romance holding it's own in the top 20 - already gone Platinum and still refusing to die!!

THIS Cheryl doesn't deserve the prime-time slot like GaGa does =) To think... She was planning Poker Face and Telephone before Alexander McQueen died (RIP)... Would've been huge!!

One of the most confusing sentences I've ever read... I get the gist and totally agree, though, lol

THIS. She's been everywhere in 2009 and truly deserves all 3. Best single should be FFTL because it was huge. It broke records and ended up really high in the year-end chart... If JLS win it, something's wrong... 'Beat Again' wasn't *huge*. Sure, it was number one, but so was 'My Life Would Suck Without You', 'When Love Takes Over' and 'Oopsy Daisy', but none of those could be considered *huge*. (BTW, I am aware that I didn't choose British examples only, it was only proving a point that simply being Number 1 doesn't make a song huge, as is the case with 'Beat Again'...)

no "Her eponymous name "Marina and the Diamonds" consists of Diamandis' first name and the translation of her surname which means "Diamonds" in Greek. "The Diamonds" refers to Diamandis' fans but is commonly mistaken for her backing band." "I'm Marina. You are the diamonds."

when it won't... it's top 40 (top 30 peak) with only radio 1 B-list as promo...

I feel so sorry for Isabella Summers, aka, Isabella Machine

Paparazzi didn't have the hype that Telephone has though. People don't talk about if it's going to be number one. They're talking when. Telephone is going to be massive. During the summer when Paparazzi was released GaGa was touring in America, but her UK tour leg coincides with Telephone. She's sure to do promo.

I think GaGa has it in the bag. 2009 has been her year and she deserves it.

It can't be said that JLS *deserve* it. I mean they haven't done anything to deserve it. They didn't build themselves up like FATM, rather, they were already known in their debut year thanks to the X Factor. Before anyone says I'm hating on JLS in favour of FATM, I'm not. In all honesty, I strongly dislike FATM... Boring music and a tad over-rated *in my opinion*. But JLS haven't done anything to deserve a breakthrough award, because they didn't breakthrough. They were catapulted to fame thanks to Simon Cowell, none of the work was their own. They (badly, in my opinion) sang songs which were written for them and through together an album before their hype from X Factor 2008 ended and just in time for X Factor 2009, where they could secure a second number one single and a number one album. None of this was breakthrough...

In the UK, that's very un-GaGa!! Telephone is sure to be a bona fide SMASH!! WORLDWIDE!!

Semi Precious Weapons are in it too and they have confirmed that they, too, will die :P Hopefully it'll explode on TV airplay like Bad Romance did. I remember the Box, on the day of Bad Romance's release, played it every hour on the hour :) PLEASE THE SAME FOR TELEPHONE!!

Miley has never had a US number one. She is big, but not as big as Hannah Montana. Jennifer Hudson has faded since her massive year with Dreamgirls. Justin Bieber, no matter how badly people want him to do well in America... just isn't. I've followed the American charts for years and Justin Bieber is not first rate. I give you that his songs rush up the charts, but as 'Baby' showed, they fall even faster.

Which is sure to be amazing... GaGa's videos always seem to be amazing and the hype around this is huge!!

Erm... Lol at you thinking they are first rate artists in the US... I wouldn't even say Justin Bieber is second rate. Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Hudson, yes. Realistically, Jennifer Hudson is super-talented but just doesn't have the success that she should have with the voice that she has. First rate artists in the US are those who dominate the charts, the media and the award ceremonies; Beyonce, Taylor Swift, GaGa and BEP spring to mind... But to even imply that JUSTIN BIEBER is a first rate artist in the US makes me quite literally laugh out loud.
