This... <3. I think I cried when I found out they won two brit awards and the main Grammy in the space of 24 hours.

So sad :p.

It was depressing because of how awful, unmemorable and shamelessly pretentious The Suburbs was.

I don't know, man. It sounded like I should have loved it but it felt like I was missing some thing in my brain that would enable me to enjoy it. I'm not sure if I should blame myself or the band. I just found it so unengaging.

In retrospect Neon Bible is a load of **** as well. Funeral is Arcade Fire. They hit it perfect on the first go.

Most of these nominees are nobodies. Our music must be completely awful if s**t like The Military Wives are nominated for best single :bored:

LaLaLand 13-02-2012 03:07 PM

Are they doing the same as last year where the critics decide or whatever they did, emphasis on music wasn't it? Hence why Laura Marling and Arcade Fire won and stuff?

Hope so.

Lana Del Rey needs to win also. How Nicki Minaj is a breakthrough act is beyond me.

:worship: what a fabulous 48 hours was, the recognition Arcade Fire got in those hours almost made my 2011 perfect.

Jords 13-02-2012 04:49 PM

I didnt like The Suburbs first play but I didnt give it my full attention. The actual suburb-theme put me off a bit Im not sure why. But then I remember hearing Ready To Start and thinking WHO SINGS THIS? And it turned out Arcade Fire which probed me to play the album again and its good, really good :love:

In Ed Sheeran's defence, he worked very hard to build up a following by touring the country all the time and sleeping on couches, I think I read somewhere that he didn't have a permanent residence for quite some time (not sure if this is still the case) and I think his songwriting is simple but that's part of the charm. I was trying to get people to listen to the few songs of his I'd heard quite a long time before The A Team hit radios and in that time got a bit sick of him myself, I don't think his music is made for repetitive listening like the generic Pitbull ft. Nicki Minaj-esque dance dross that we get every week it seems...

They never really get it right. As much as I love to bitch about them, I do think it's a shame that The Saturdays didn't even get so much as a nomination when their equally **** peers The Wanted, JLS etc are all getting nominations for just as shoddy efforts.

Shaun 13-02-2012 07:40 PM

I think the singles are the top 10 selling singles of the year, I may be wrong though

Callum 21-02-2012 01:38 AM

Tonight 8PM ITV1 :spin2:

Only performer I'm looking forward to really is Adele. I hope she performs Set Fire to the Rain and it gets her another #1 over here.

Black Dagger 21-02-2012 10:17 AM

Only really looking forward to Coldplay performing and Florence performing.

I bet the awards go to people I couldn't give two ****s about, I hope Bon beats Nicki again, that'd please me.

Me. I Am Salman 21-02-2012 11:24 AM

Looking forward to Rihanna's performance, although I really hope its not We Found Love

Brother Leon 21-02-2012 12:44 PM

No Tinie or Wretch nominated?



I'm out.

Shaun 21-02-2012 02:08 PM

Tinie was 2010...

Black Dagger 21-02-2012 02:15 PM

Tinie and Arcade Fire secured the most awards last year.

Yeah Wretch was a tad snubbed, considering the male nominations.

Jordan. 21-02-2012 02:21 PM

Adele best perform something new, anyone would think her album only had two songs on it.

InOne 21-02-2012 03:24 PM

Should be good this year. A little less urban.

Niall 21-02-2012 03:28 PM

Björk had better win best international female. :suspect:

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 21-02-2012 03:58 PM

Not since this whole Christ Brown palava happened. Oh and the excessive overexposure she's subjected herself to in the past two years hasn't helped either. :nono:

I still love her music but tbh, she has little input with that anyway. She's such a **** now. :bored:

Roy Mars III 21-02-2012 04:51 PM

hopefully James Blake, The Throne and Bon Iver win their categories, the only noms i really care about tbh
