Is anyone actually enjoying the Brit awards?

"Comedian Peter Kay held the show together as host, putting his talents to good use while introducing acts and award presenters to the stage.

He described Lady Gaga as "New York's answer to Su Pollard", former Spice Girl Mel B as "Yorkshire's answer to Beyonce", described Kasabian as "Leicester's answer to Aswad" and called Robbie Williams "Stoke on Trent's answer to Shakin' Stevens".

I only saw a few minutes and was pleased when Florence and the Machine was introduced. But why didn't they remove that shouty bloke who jumped up on stage with her?

turned itv on hoping for the man utd game and got that instead. it was very poorly presented, sound was awful (not just the muting), and it's just so cheesy.

is anybody else dreading the opening ceremony of 2012?

No, I'm dreading the whole of 2012, the hype, the event and the excuses.

Liam Gallagher must be up there for an award for charm and wit.

Yeah, but Peter Kay summed that one up nicely.

When is the world going to wake up to the fact she can't sing? My ears still aren't talking to me since listening to them crucify a brilliant song by a brilliant artist.

Must have had something wrong with them before

The Brits are now the equivalent of Smash Hits

Upper class youngsters such as Florence and the machine, lilly allen en tal combined with X Factor Rejects.. You couldnt make it up!!

Cheryl Cole also, as much as she is a little darling is a classic case of that all you need to do in order to sell records these days is to spend a wad on make up, fake hair etc, good pr, dance routines and your sorted.. she couldn't even mime properly.

I would say the only genuine talent who won an award last night was Jay-Z as much as his style of music is not everyones cup of tea.

Kasabian and Lady GaGa as much as I don't like them much have a bit of talent.

I suspect he'sjust selling a picture of it. He doesn't actually say that he's got the item. Certainly I wouldn't be handing over <deep breath> seven grand plus for it on the strength of this listing. Or indeed on the strength of anything else, even if Liam Gallagher came banging on my front door trying to sell me it.

Ahaha so people have put a bid of £7,600 for picture of a Brit award, it's a pretty shameful stunt to pull though.

It's interesting how knowledge about somebody's lifestyle or background can influence your opinion of their music. I heard Florence and the Machine for the first time the night before last, having never previously heard of them, in a serious German music prog which was profiling them. I immediately thought that it was refreshing to hear slightly original, intelligent music and as a result I'm considering getting a CD.

Ditto Lily Allen. The first time I heard her (again with no previous knowledge of her) I thought she was doing amusing and refreshingly English (as opposed to the usual, very routine and formulaic American schlock) material.

I don't give a hoot about their backgrounds.

I can't help admiring the bloke's sheer brass neck. After all, if people are stupid and gullible enough to hand over nearly 8 grand for something on the strength of four lines of text and a stock picture in an ebay listing, it's practically a civic duty to take advantage of them.
