[Brother Leon]

Man, I remember when I used to go to the local youth centre and Skepta would be there DJ'ing or dropping bars. It's going to be surreal seeing him perform at the Brits. Inspirational man...

[Black Dagger]

The awards will be played really safely this year and the performances look weak. But I am watch.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I cant believe i am not more excited

[Will.]

LIVE AT 7:30PM!

Man, I remember when I used to go to the local youth centre and Skepta would be there DJ'ing or dropping bars. It's going to be surreal seeing him perform at the Brits. Inspirational man...What sort of bars? Chocolate? Iron?

I hope he picked them up after himself?

[MB.]

I hope there's a Brit Award for the least funny joke ever posted on this forum

[Shaun]

Just for the sake of pointless predictions...

Brit Male: David Bowie
Brit Female: ANOHNI
Brit Group: Little Mix
Brit Album: David Bowie
Breakthrough: Skepta
Video: One Direction
Single: Little Mix
Int Male: Drake
Int Female: Christine and the Queens
Int Group: Twenty One Pilots
Global Success: Coldplay

[Denver]

yes you are not stealing my thread

[Crimson Dynamo]

I hope there's a Brit Award for the least funny joke ever posted on this forum

Not Marc and Madonna Kebab finally getting the nod?

:omgno:

[Alf]

I hope there's a Brit Award for the least funny joke ever posted on this forumAre you baiting for an argument? because you know your not suppose to.

Don't worry, you wont be infracted, you're on the right side.

[MB.]

No, I'm saying that "oh really, what kind of bars is he dropping?" qualifies for the least funny joke ever posted on this forum

I honestly cant see any but Emeli Sande winning best British female but most of the categories are wide open this year and anyone could win and i cant remember when it was less unpredictable

[Alf]

No, I'm saying that "oh really, what kind of bars is he dropping?" qualifies for the least funny joke ever posted on this forumFunnier than anything you have ever said on this forum. You're constant doom and gloom, at least I try.

[Shaun]

Her album didn't make #1 and none of her singles charted in the top 20, plus it was pretty average and not well-received by critics. Would be like giving it to Jessie J.

[Crimson Dynamo]

i swear if that collection of no marks little sh1ts wins anything i will throw my 60" in da river

[Denver]

Her album didn't make #1 and none of her singles charted in the top 20, plus it was pretty average and not well-received by critics. Would be like giving it to Jessie J.

But she has been the only one who is well known and released stuff i am just not sure they will give it to someone hardly known

[Denver]

Btw red carpet is live on ITV2 now

[Shaun]

Anohni is pretty well known in music circles, her albums have been up for 3 Mercury Prizes.

I mean yeah, there's no chance of Lianne or NAO winning, but think the populist vote will be split between Emeli and Ellie, and anyone who actually values good music would swing towards Anohni. Not to mention they'd revel in the chance to:

- give the first ever award to a trans artist
- give it to someone overtly political and likely to say something controversial

[MB.]

Ellie's released one song this year (to put that in context, it's only one more than Amy Winehouse, who was nominated last year)... Emeli's probably still the most likely contender if they're still trying to make her a thing, which... well, the bird's already flown on that one, but if not then yeah I'd say that Anohni's next most likely, especially if the Brits are keen to be perceived as diverse and in any way credible

Oh i never knew she was trans so i can see them pushing her for it on that bases tbh i have only ever heard one song of hers

They were desperate for British females so i am surprised they didnt push Adele as she had more success then Goulding this year

[Denver]

I pray Sia wins but she always seems to be shunned at events like this

[MB.]

The Brits are pretty emblematic of the "win if you show up" idea so that's probably why

[Shaun]

Then again they're fond of giving awards to whoever agrees to perform, which Emeli is.

*war flashbacks to when they gave Paloma Faith an award in 2014 over fka twigs, as if Paloma didn't peak in 2009*

[Denver]

The Brits are pretty emblematic of the "win if you show up" idea so that's probably why

They gave it to Bjork last year (i think) and she wasnt there so there is hope

[Shaun]

International Female is the most wide-open really. Doubt any of the 5 are attending.

I'm happy as long as Sia doesn't win. So Sia will win.

[Crimson Dynamo]

i hope it does not descend in to a mawkish mire of GM and DB

i fear it will

[Denver]

I could see them giving it to someone who they feel needs a boost in Britian so maybe that Christine girl

[Denver]

I can see Skepta causing a upset to beat Bowie

[MB.]

Christine's attending so that probably makes her more likely

i fear it will

Won't be anything for DB since they did a tribute last year (Lorde doing Life on Mars)

Think it's just Coldplay doing George Michael. Which he'd have wanted, because Guy Martin is quite fit.

[Denver]

According to the Sun there will be a tribute to Bowie but that doesnt exactly mean a song

[Shaun]

Skepta to do an Adele and rip his Brit in half if he wins Male/Album?

[Denver]

I am surprised they axed best international album tbh seeing as most hit albums are from foreigners

[Crimson Dynamo]

#brexit

[Shaun]

They'd only have given it to 24K Magic, so perhaps it's a blessing in disguise

[Denver]

#brexit

It has been gone a few years

[Denver]

I just hate the fact 1D will win best single when it is the worst one nominated

[LukeB]

Predictions
BRITISH MALE SOLO ARTIST: David Bowie
BRITISH FEMALE SOLO ARTIST: Emeli Sandé
BRITISH GROUP: The 1975
BRITISH BREAKTHROUGH ACT: Skepta
BRITISH SINGLE: Clean Bandit feat. Sean Paul & Anne-Marie – Rockabye
MASTERCARD BRITISH ALBUM OF THE YEAR: David Bowie – Blackstar
BRITISH ARTIST VIDEO OF THE YEAR: One Direction – History
INTERNATIONAL MALE SOLO ARTIST: Drake

INTERNATIONAL GROUP: Twenty One Pilots

[Shaun]

I just hate the fact 1D will win best single when it is the worst one nominated

Is single fan-voted? I thought it was just Video.

Either way, Tinie Tempah's is the worst song nominated. For both.

[Denver]

There are 2 viewer votes and i think it is Single and Viewer

[Denver]

Oh it was breakthrough not single

[Denver]

http://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/35/590x/secondary/790057.png

This is the voting update for best video a few days ago.

Only the top 5 are still in the running

[Crimson Dynamo]

how on earth can emile sande win anything when she just literally released one mediocre song in the last 12 months?

[Denver]

ON LIVE NOW.

[Shaun]

Oh good they're getting them out of the way early

[MB.]

Come thru Em!

[Denver]

Surprised they have Little Gods kicking it off

[MB.]

Come thru Em!

(-ma Willis, that is, not -eli Sande)

[Crimson Dynamo]

oh they are wearing bodices

:idc:

[Ross.]

A ****ing BOP

[Shaun]

a lovely tribute to Simone Battle

[MB.]

Touch or ****

[LukeB]

I thought Jade was Leigh :worry:

[LukeB]

Is Zayn there? , i'm sure he's enjoying a song dedicated to him.

[Amy Jade]

Work let me updtairs to watch them

https://images.britcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/excited-crying-fans.gif

[Pete.]

I'm only here for International Female award

[LukeB]

got to say i expected more from Little Mix. But i guess it's jet leg.

[MB.]

Loving Leigh-Anne's look tonight

[Greg!]

That's their worst song

[Denver]

That is how you kick a show off

[Amy Jade]

GODS

[Ross.]

Jade looks so good

[LukeB]

idk why they couldn't sing Touch.

[Amy Jade]

The ratings will plummet now the best live act have been on

[Brother Leon]

My older bro sending me his selfies with a member of Little Mix of all people ffs :joker:

[Denver]

So Ed Sheeran and Little Mix confirmed

[LukeB]

People are saying Ed Sheeran is singing with Harry Styles

[Pete.]

Emma has come so far :clap1:

[Denver]

1D dont deserve the nom

[Ross.]

Emma and Dermot slaying :clap1:

[MB.]

*crosses fingers that One Direction fans still don't know how to spell*

[Brother Leon]

I hope Skeppy does the Guys all in black tracksuits on stage **** just to see the awkward looks in the audience :joker:

[Crimson Dynamo]

ew not him

[Shaun]

how very nice of David Tennant to give an award to Anohni

[arista]

Emma has come so far :clap1:


Well she is 40 years old now

[Denver]

Pull through Emeli :fc:

[LukeB]

Would like Ellie Goulding to win but i'm fine with Emeli

[Denver]

Yessssss

[MB.]

This is trash mama!

[Shaun]

lol

[LukeB]

Predicable but slay

[Crimson Dynamo]

what a fix

[Brother Leon]

Hmm... there were better options, but whatever.

[Jordan.]

Spoiler the people performing or who actually turned up win

[Shaun]

"this is my sister and I wouldn't be here without you"

not incest?

[MB.]

lol @ them calling Hurts a "massive smash hit" when it peaked at #22

[Kazanne]

Is Zayn there? , i'm sure he's enjoying a song dedicated to him.

About time she got over it,surely they could have picked a better song, have they got one?

[Crimson Dynamo]

shut up sande you embarrassment

[Brother Leon]

Has she spent time in the States,because her accent always drifts?

[Denver]

Emeli deseved it the most

[LukeB]

About time she got over it,surely they could have picked a better song, have they got one?

I agree, he is a rat but i don't care about it anymore. they should have done Touch which is far better than SOTME

[Denver]

But SOTME is up for best single?

[Black Dagger]

Emeli deseved it the most

Lmao. Her album did **** all. Anohni had one of the best albums last year. She was the only one who warranted it

They play it safe all the time and just give the awards to those who turn up. They're a joke.

[Shaun]

*turns my attention to Nick Cave winning best int. group as the unlikely underdog result*

[Denver]

Lmao. Her album did **** all. Anohni had one of the best albums last year. She was the only one who warranted it

They play it safe all the time and just give the awards to those who turn up. They're a joke.

I love her album and Hurts is an Emotional bop

[LukeB]

Breathing Underwater >

[MB.]

A+ to Emma on the Mars banter

[Denver]

Toilet break time

[Pete.]

:zzz:

[Black Dagger]

He's worse than Hitler.

[Greg!]

What the hell is he singing

[Shaun]

at least they've got the worst 2 performances out of the way early.

(presuming Emeli does HURTS which is at least good)

[Cal.]

He's really fit

[LukeB]

Should have sang 24k magic but this is a bop.

[Ross.]

I'm sorry but I'm bopping

[Crimson Dynamo]

He's really fit

rolf harris teas

[Black Dagger]

Oh yes I'm banging my head to this dreary nonsense Luke!!!

[Cal.]

How is this a bloody bop?

[Denver]

I dont even understand a word he is saying

[Shaun]

he is the face of a 50 year old on the body of a 12 year old, how is he bloody fit

[Denver]

He could have at least dressed up instead of wearing his Gym Wear

[Shaun]

i wonder if this will go to little mix :omgno:

-hopes for the 1975 since radiohead have no chance-

[Ross.]

Little Mix will be robbed

[Denver]

Little Mix need to win this if not the 1975

[lewis111]

NEEDS be Little mix (please)

[Brother Leon]

Gotta be 1975 really. Their album was nice.

[Cal.]

he is the face of a 50 year old on the body of a 12 year old, how is he bloody fit

Bloody quote me next time!

[Greg!]

LM will obvs win

[Shaun]

oh yay!

[Denver]

That will do

[Cal.]

Omg I'm glad

[MB.]

A category in which both Little Mix and Radiohead can be nominated will never cease to confuse me

[LukeB]

rightful winners

[Greg!]

LM will obvs win

Oop!

[MB.]

...is that Sid Owen

[Black Dagger]

LMAO. Tbf their new material is good. Even if I don't like them.

[Denver]

Denise Welch is proud

[Shaun]

Somebody Else > LM's entire career

[Cal.]

Something Denise Welch pushed out of her vagina winning a BRIT :clap1:

[MB.]

So, er, where did Denise Welch's son get that accent?

[Shaun]

Something Denise Welch pushed out of her vagina winning a BRIT :clap1:

Frankie Cocozza's 2018 comeback?

[Brother Leon]

Skepta and 1975 collab...errm ok..

[Greg!]

I'm screaming he's so funny
834492420477878274

[Greg!]

Something Denise Welch pushed out of her vagina winning a BRIT :clap1:

Iconic

[Cal.]

I loved The Sound so I'm glad they won.

[Denver]

I want an Iconic moment like Adele telling them to **** off

[Denver]

I want to punch Robbie's face in

[Shaun]

*buckles up*

[Denver]

Skepta has this

[Brother Leon]

Gotta be David Bowie.

[MB.]

Think Craig's got this one in the bag tbh

[Shaun]

aw I forgot about Michael

[Shaun]

FINALLY, some recognition :clap1:

[Denver]

Good

[Wizard.]

Miss Angie Bowie to pick up the award for our David?

[MB.]

"And the award goes to the late... Craig David! Hurry up, Craig, mate, we've got a show to do here"

(jk. Bowie :love:)

[Kazanne]

Well deserved for David Bowie

[Brother Leon]

Well deserved. Still hope Album goes to Skepta instead though.

[Denver]

Hurts please

[Wizard.]

A Beyoncé style performance?

[MB.]

Hurts please

I'd rather Hurts turned up and performed instead of Emeli Sande, yes

[Crimson Dynamo]

oh she won and is performing

:idc:

[MB.]

A Beyoncé style performance?

Perched for her revealing she's heavily pregnant with twins at the end of the performance

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

this bitch boring as hell

[Wizard.]

Perched for her revealing she's heavily pregnant with twins at the end of the performance

Babes that's why she wearing a massive coat

[Shaun]

It'd be nice for this to chart properly but I won't hold my breath

[LukeB]

ugh her vocals :flutter:

[Wizard.]

this bitch boring as hell

My new sig quote :joker:

[Denver]

Queen of smashing her performance

[Shaun]

...probably shoulda lipsynched

[Wizard.]

Katty Perry is shook

[Denver]

Prays Adele makes a shock performance with Sia but doubt it

[MB.]

It seems odd hearing Emma say the names of people like Katy Perry and Robbie Williams when she's spent the past month or so on the likes of Coleen Nolan and Jamie O'Hara

[Shaun]

the disappointment on here when the "shock performance" is that Chainsmokers and Coldplay song that's just been posted

[Denver]

-Smashes TV-

[Wizard.]

Steph and Jeremy to sing "Don't Break My Heart" as the iconic duet Emma keeps banging on about?

[Denver]

Coldplay are so overrated

[Denver]

the disappointment on here when the "shock performance" is that Chainsmokers and Coldplay song that's just been posted

Are they 2 of the planets biggest stars though?

[Denver]

Adele/Rhianna or Adele/Beyonce or Adele/Tulisa

[Denver]

Anne-Marie pull through :fc:

[Jordan.]

Emma stanning the series everyone hated

[LukeB]

Beautiful Stunning Rita with a fan :love:

[Ross.]

Not Rita's comeback

[lewis111]

Hope she gives ANTM promo

[MB.]

My god, how did we ever get through an entire series of The X Factor with both Nick Grimshaw and Rita Ora on it

[Shaun]

gosh I miss their banter on TXF...

[Owen19]

Hope Anne-Marie gets it:fc:

[Denver]

Skepta has this for sure though

[lewis111]

Has Skepta not been around since 2010

[Crimson Dynamo]

please get them 2 doughnuts of my tv

[MB.]

(I thought this was the Anne-Marie/Dua/Boner Man category. Turns out that's something else)

[lewis111]

What an awful line up

[Denver]

Oh wow

[Shaun]

Oh...

[MB.]

Delete it @ Ragin' Binman!

[Owen19]

Erm

[LukeB]

well human is great but the line up for that award was meh

[Denver]

He has burgled Anne-Marie twice now

[Jordan.]

One hit makes you a breakthrough?

[Brother Leon]

I like his song, but come on fam..

[Ross.]

Why are they pushing for him

[Crimson Dynamo]

you can breakthrough with one song?

ok

and "oh my days"

:umm2:

[Greg!]

He's really nice you horrible sods!

[Greg!]

Goodness me ed sheeran is so bloody annoying

[Shaun]

Yes I do like him but...doesn't make sense to have someone win 2 different awards that basically mean the same thing

[Ross.]

The Sound :love:

[Denver]

Human is a bop though

[Kazanne]

Which one is Denises son?

[LukeB]

I thought Skepta would have won that even though he's only decent song with Preeya from Eastenders was years ago.

[Denver]

Which one is Denises son?

The one singing

[Shaun]

Which one is Denises son?

The singer, I think?

[Black Dagger]

Best performance of the night tbf. Not that it has been difficult.

Wank year.

[Kazanne]

The one singing

Ok,thanks Adam x

[Shaun]

I guess the grime vote was split between Skepta and Stormzy and RNBM was the obvious middle ground since his song's been top 5 for a while.

[Denver]

Ok,thanks Adam x

He looks like his dad though

[Black Dagger]

does "bop" mean something else now.

[T*]

Wtf is happening

[Kazanne]

The singer, I think?

:thumbs:Thanks

[MB.]

Coleen Nolan's comments flashing up on screen?

[Greg!]

Um at this writing popping up

[Cal.]

:clap1:

[Ross.]

Lmao wtf is with the dragging

[LukeB]

Human is a bop though

this is true.

[Kazanne]

He looks like his dad though

Yes he looks more like Tim.:wavey:

[Denver]

They are destroying it tonight shows how far they have come :clap1:

[Brother Leon]

Russia has hacked the Brits.

[MB.]

Are all these quotes about their first album because if so they're completely true

[Cal.]

Lmao wtf is with the dragging

They had it in their video you stupid cow!

[Pete.]

The writing = my thought process

[Crimson Dynamo]

[T*]

I like their music but when I see them live I hate them

[Ross.]

They had it in their video you stupid cow!

[Shaun]

[Crimson Dynamo]

oh great a GM mawkfest

[Denver]

[Niamh.]

Wtf was that? :laugh2:

[MB.]

I wasn't looking at the screen, what happened :worry:

Jarvis Cocker came on and flashed his arse

[Cal.]

I don't know her!

The Sound :love:

Hmm a fake stan exposed.

[MB.]

oh great a GM mawkfest

Acknowledging the achievements of one of the most successful British musicians of the past few decades who past away less than two months ago = a "mawkfest" apparently

[Wizard.]

I thought they got hacked

[Niamh.]

I thought the Brits got hacked [emoji23]

[T*]

I wasn't looking at the screen, what happened :worry:



Madonna fell from the arena roof trying to infiltrate the contest

[hijaxers]

I agreed with every word in the background - what a load of shyte that was !

[MB.]

Bless MoneySupermarket for dragging this advert out for as long as humanly possible

[Ross.]

Hmm a fake stan exposed.

I'm not a stan anyway actually!

[Ross.]

Madonna fell from the arena roof trying to infiltrate the contest

:joker:

[Denver]

I hope it is someone decent doing the tribute

[Cal.]

I'm not a stan anyway actually!

Let's take this to my exposè thread.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Acknowledging the achievements of one of the most successful British musicians of the past few decades who past away less than two months ago = a "mawkfest" apparently
