The BRITS is as big a joke as any other award show, frankly I can't think of any of the big award shows that are not either populist (most have at least some public voting categories) or, the reverse, musical snobs. Congratulations to Rihanna, I was hoping Gaga would win but I have a sneaking suspicion that Rihanna performing swung the pendulum in her direction, she did have a great year last year though. Lana Del Ray for International Breakthrough? Oh please. Same goes for One Direction and why didn't Jessie J win anything? I am not a fan of Adele but to lose out for best single to One Direction is a travesty! I can't stand Ed Sheeran either, middle of the road guitar strumming pap. Glad I didn't bother to watch this year as it would have been a major disappointment. Glad Rihanna won International Female as my husband watched a bit of it and said it was Lana Del Ray - her winning International Breakthrough is bad enough, that horrible monotonous drone of hers is not worthy of an award.
