American rockers the Foo Fighters followed closely in their footsteps, receiving the awards for International Album and International Group.

However, it was the recently reformed Take That who were the surprise winners of the night, after being awarded Best Single for Shine and British Live Act.

It's probably because they make good music, or is that too much of a stretch for you?

[Arneldo]

I was pleased with all the winners. The only one's I wouldn't agree with were the two Take That won. Not because Take That won, I like them, I just thought other nominees were better.

Glad Kate Nash won Best Feale aswell, she is so talented and very well deserved.

[Mrluvaluva]

Amy Winehouse's performance wasn't too bad either. I was laughing at Vic Reeeves forgetting which award he was presenting, and then Sharon calling him a pisshead. Lol.

[Ruth]

Can't stand Kate Nash or the Artic Monkeys. I am glad the Foo Fighters won though.

[Matt08]

Amy Winehouse made me laugh, she wasn't in tune with the music for a while, she was about two notes behind. :tongue:

I am not sure if that was accidental or on purpose to put a different edge on it.

[CassetteFinger]

The brit's ha, what a joke!

[Matt10k]

Hadn't heard of half the people on it tbh.

[xDramatick]

Every award that was won was fully deserved.

I HATE Mika, and I can't stand Take That, but I accept that they obviously deserved the awards to win them.

Seriously people, stop being bitter, calling the BRITs a joke and making digs at the winners. Get over the fact your favourites lost, there's always next year. I'm actually sick of it now. Everyone nominated was talented otherwise they wouldn't have gotten a nomination.

Same as. All the fans seem really pissed off at them(besides their own obviously). Like Take That were off their heads as well but at least they were gracious! The Arctic Monekeys were so 'whatever'. Really annoyed me. I wouldn't even had minded that TT didn't win those awards,its just that Arctic Monkeys winning that did!

[Mrluvaluva]

The Arctic Monkeys have snubbed The BRITS in the past. Did they just go because they won last year? I like their music, but they are a bit spoilt.

[Captain.Remy]

Well congrats to them, they deserved it in a way, even if I don't agree with some.

[Mrluvaluva]

Everyone has different taste. Nobody wil ever agree with them all.

I don't like their music, so I'm going to say that. Funny how I was blasted last night for not accepting opinions but you obviously can't handle mine.

And they are piss heads, they were drunk throughout.

Oh yes, I can't "handle" your opinions. Haha...

Anyway, getting drunk doesn't make you a "p**shead"...unless you always find them drunk.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone so bitter about an awards ceremony. Seriously, she lost, you can get on with your life now.

[Mrluvaluva]

Quite a few of the different bands/artists were pissed. Let them celebrate. I know I would.

[Princess]

Take That were SOOO drunk! Especially Mark,bless :laugh:

The Arctic's are obviously just lightweights. I don't like them cos I think they're a bit too cocky and arrogant.

[MarkWaldorf]

I got over it a while ago actually. There are better award shows out there for her.

But if you are still saying things like 'There are better award shows out there for her', that shows that you haven't gotten over it at all.

[Tom4784]

Most awards were spot on I thought, I personally would disagree with the two Take That won, In my opinion Muse should have won best Live Act and Leona should have won the Single Award, but ah well.

[Princess]

^^^ The public voted for both the awards TT won,rather than some silly panel! And the Thatters can never be beaten when its come to public voting!

[Mrluvaluva]

I couldn't get over how much weight Gary Barlow has shed.
