whats it all about? i dont give a crap!

Well last night was the Brit Awards, i thought i was going to miss it this year but changed my plans and headed over to Pete's to catch the show. Mika opened the show with a medley of his hits, i have to admit i am not a fan of the frizzy haired, screechy, closeted little wierdo and at one point his schreeching got so out of control i assumed he was trying to communicate with dolphins, his performance was saved by Beth Ditto who joined him briefly to belt out "Standing in the way of control" - which is easily one of the best songs of the last year.

The performances in general last night were a little lacklustre, Rihanna sang Umbrella but was rather pointlessly joined by the Klaxons and some epileptic fit inducing lasers, she did look fierce though so i can forgive. Kylie looked stunning with her new hairdo and high as heaven heels but girlfriend needs to shoot her choreographer!! I do not want to see another Kylie performance with dancers doing robotic moves with helmets on, i wasn't that keen when she did it the first time which was years ago, can you imagine how i feel about it now?

There were some amazing performances though - Leona Lewis blew me away!! singing her song "Bleeding Love" - she was a true star and slammed every note home, watch out mariah and whitney, there is a new bitch on the block and she is from Hackney! The biggest cheer of the night was reserved for Ms Amy Winehouse, we definitely got our moneys worth - she performed as part of a medley with Mark Ronson singing "Valerie" and she looked great, she said in an interview last year that the more nervouse and insecure she feels, the bigger her hair gets - well last night she must have been shitting it as her hair was through the roof and thankfully so was her voice. She performed again singing my fave "Love is a losing game" and even managed to mouth "love you" to the camera - i presume that was for her waste of space junkie husband, get rid of him honey - hugs not drugs!

Who had the stupid idea to get Vic "I have not said anything funny since Shooting Stars finished" Reeves to present the Best British Album award?, he was blatantly pissed and Sharon Osborne had to tell him to piss off, well there is always one drama at these awards. Anyways it was great to see Take That winning a couple, especially since Gary Barlow was looking especially yumma yumma yumma! Arctic Monkeys did their usual " aren't we crazy getting pissed at an awards do and wearing funny clothes" yeah whatever boys just say thanks and get off the stage.

I saw in the Metro yesterday an article with the headline "Kylie loves the gays" and then on Heat magazine's website today there is the headline "the gays love david beckham" - since when is it acceptable to just make a sweeping statement about us? I think there would be a slight outcry if a gay magazine said "the straights all like wetherspoons" or "the straights all love man made fabrics". Let's try and use language properly innit!
