redfiona99Rugby - Jonathan Davies (bach) was the guest on 'This is Your Life' and I'd forgotten quite how brilliant a player he was. I mean he rocks my socks as an analyst, but really, you've got to be good to be brilliant at both codes. And Ellery Hanley was on and he had such a good speech.
They had a male voice choir singing the Welsh Anthem at the end and it is so beautiful.
Of course this lead on to my usual refrain of how awful the British national anthem is. For comparison I shall use the anthems of the countries of the 6 Nations Tournament.
Wales - How wonderful is my land
Italy - How wonderful is my land
France - How wonderful is my land
Ireland - How wonderful is my land
Scotland - How wonderful is my land (and get rid of the english)
Meanwhile England - we love a woman who does nothing for us, who gets far too much money and whose relatives sponge off the state and are still not called dole scroungers.
"God Save the Queen" sucks.
Buffy, not to give anything away, was great. But how stupid is Dawn, it's like hello, get over yourself, you are not the centre of the world. They all have far more important things to do than listen to your adolescent whining.
The quality of compassion is not Red Fiona
Dear Avril, putting your feet on the seat in front of you is not nice.
Pink and Beefeaters = tres wierd, but fantastic singing.
Ye Gads! what is Sara Cox wearing?
British Breakthrough Artist (The Coral, Will Young, Liberty X, The Streets, Ms Dynamite) Winner is Will Young, who is my least favourite out of the 5, but no shock there. Plus Will, suits need shirts.
International Breakthrough Artist (Shakira, Avril, Nickelback, White Stripes, Norah Jones) Winner is Norah Jones. Who won because she is the critics darling and makes bland, inoffensive music. I wanted either Nickelback or the White Stripes to win.
Blue sing. I like them. Plus I'm digging the performance. However did they hire every female professional dancer in the country for this shindig or what!
Best British Single (Gareth Gates x 2, Will Young, Liberty X) Liberty X 'Just A Little Bit' wins, which is good, since it's not a cover version. However how bad is it when they've all come from 'Pop Idol' type shows. Although, LX did lose and were written off, but have comeback, which I admire. Plus all 5 are seriously hot.
Best British Male (Craig David, Robbie, Badly Drawn Boy, David Grey, The Streets) Robbie wins to no one's shock. Hate him, hate him, hate him.
Justin Timberlake + Kylie perform.
The camera is panning over, and Pink had snuck over to talk to Ms Dynamite, so she had to scamper off. So kewl.
Best Urban Artist (i.e. we've shat on R'n'B, Garage, Soul etc through out the years and since we're going to do it again tonight we thought we'd stick you all the the same category award) (Beverly Knight, Ms. Dynamite, Big Brovaz, Romeo, Craig David, Roots Manuva, The Streets, Mystique, Daniel Beddingfield, So Solid Crew)
Ms. Dynamite wins. Which is good. Actually I liked all the nominees. And she gave such a nice acceptance speech.
David Grey singing 'Other Side' which is such a favourite of mine.
Best International Male (Moby, Nelly, Eminem, Springsteen, Beck) Eminem wins to no-one's surprise.
Best Pop - Enrique, Gareth Gates, Will Young, Blue, Pink.
Blue win, which is a shock. But (hugs them)
Sugababes perform and they're wearing all basques and lycra and riding boots, and okay, overheating now.
Best International female (Missy Elliot, Pink, Alicia Keyes, Norah Jones, Avril) Pink wins. Which is good.
Best British female (Alison Moyet, Beth Orton, Beverly Knight, Ms. Dynamite, Sophie Ellis Bextor) Ms Dynamite wins. (Again yay)
Coldplay perform clocks - Urgh, They do make the first politcal statement of the night though.
Best Int. Group (Nickelback, White Stripes, Foo Fighters, Chilli Peppers, Royksopp) AKA the award where I love all the acts. Winners are the Chilli Peppers, who set a new level in the strange award speeches.
Best Brit. Dance Award(Groove Armarda, Kosheen, Jamiroquai, Sugababes, Chemical Brothers) Sugababes win even though they're not dance, but when has that ever bothered the Brits.
Avril Lavigne plays (+ hundreds or okay 16 drummers) Unsurprisingly she's the only one who can't be heard. And she can't blame the acoustics 'cause Earls Court has some of the best sound levels ever heard.
Best Brit Group(Coldplay, Sugababes, Oasis, Blue, Doves)
Coldplay win.
Best Int. Album(Pink, Alicia Keys, Norah Jones, Chili Peppers, Eminem) Eminem wins
Ms. Dynamite performs, first (and as it turns out, only) choir of the night. And she does a strange version of 'Faith' and it works.
Best Brit. Album(Sugababes, Ms. Dynamite, The Streets, Coldplay, The Coral) Coldplay win, make asses of themselves, but then redeem themselves by saying that if George Bush gets his way, we'll all be killed.
Lifetime Achievement award goes to Tom Jones, who brings the house down. He rocks.
