Boopoll Of The Week (114)

[patrick boo]

So the new 'controversial' Brit Awards slobbers by with nary a whiff of excitement or intrigue. The most rocknroll thing of the night seemed to be The Arctoc Monkeys' healthy distaste for the whole shebang, rather than Russell Brand's 'shocking' jokes about drugs. Liam Gallagher seems to be turning into Ringo Starr rather than John Lennon! Jo Whiley is satan's doorbell. Also, violence against women is abhorrent, but does it count in relation to Joss Stone?

brand was without doubt the biggest tit of the night.

Well, given the fact that I set off watching the Brits with full knowledge that Russel Brand was going to be a cock I was pretty damn prepared for it.

Obviously the award for biggest douche in the universe 2007 goes to the homeless Fratelli, just because you are an uncultured sloth with the whiniest scottish accent in the world does not give you permission to dress like a cross between an asbo youth and b*witched.

However honourable mention must go to Joss. If you need to be reminded of her burgeoning diva-dom then feel free to look here. The thing that annoys me about her is that she is pulling an anti-madonna. Whereas Madge can just about pull off the american-london accent, Joss' little trip from Devon-girl to l.a. 'oh no ya di'n't be dis-respecking ma homeboy robbie williams' scene girl is something to despair.

And seriously did she really think it was a good idea to wear Mika's album artwork to the awards, sporting a do that can only be likened to Sideshow Bob's hair. Poor show Joss, as Kelly Osbourne would put it on my second favourite program 'Project Runway'- after Passions of course - "Joss you are the next fashion victim."

Plus, she fucks up with her He said, She saids. Damn Girl!

All of that aside I still adore her version of God Only Knows, that I got on my free cd from GAP when Madonna and Missy quite rightly put it "Where'd ya get dem jeans?" and they made the compilation of people's favourite songs. Indeed.

The one thing i feel that the show was missing was a little bit of excitement. Think back to the days when the Spice Girls ruled. You we're never really quite sure what they'd come out with 'Who do you think you are?' was probably the epitome of classic Brit performance. Never in the 27 years of brit award ceremonies has there been a more iconic image than that of the union jack dress.

According to the Brit awards in just four years together they managed to make the outstanding contribution to music that has taken Oasis thirteen years. Their performance in the 2000 ceremony was the perfect way to end the show; this from a ceremony that this year didn't even have a best pop category - saying that I blame that fully on James Blunt making a mockery of it last year with his watered down drivel.

The Scissors injected a little bit of interest with their performance at the beginning, but even they didn't come close to their Jim Henson driven 'Take Your Mama' of years gone by. All in all it was just really quite dull.

You know, I would've settled just for Geri, her solo performance in 2000 where she appeared on stage from an inflated vagina and then proceeded to pole dance with some emasculated men in hot pants, was really what it is all about. In those 3 minutes she was more controversial that Russel Brand, Joss Stone, Slob Fratelli and Ringo Starr, sorry Liam Gallagher put together.

Girl Power and all that stuff!

i think you've hit the nail on the head there sam, it was just so dreadfully dull, everyone played it so safe. i know it might have been to do with the fact it was going out live but the brits has been going this way for quite sometime.

The Killers and Amy Wankhorse were both good.

I thought The Killers were wank. Great performance from the Chilli Peppers and Amy Winehouse though.
