Brits tonight!
 
The Brits are Tonight!! Will Damien be There?? He's up for Best International Singer... could he win??

He's against Justin T, Bob Dylan, Beck and Jack Johnson... I think Justin will win but we can always hope...

It's just in a few hours....

Nine 02-14-2007 03:35 PM

I can't imagine him being there... hmm.
What time does the show start/finish?

I do hope it doesn't clash with desperate housewives...
hehe x

Wheels 02-14-2007 03:42 PM

From there to Australia in time for his first concert?? That's only about 12hrs isn't it?

borneoman 02-14-2007 03:51 PM

Forgot about the Australian tour... so he's not gonna be there...definetely

This year, for the first time in like 18 years, you can watch the Brits live on TV!!!!!!!! I think Radio 1 is also gonna transmit the whole thing... They're already doing the red carpet/backstage thing... In fact they talked about Damien a few minutes ago, mentioned he's up for best Int singer, and they played Rootless Tree, the censored version of course!!!

Excuse my ignorance... but who votes for the Brits?

i think it's the general public that can vote in the lead up to the brits, but i may be wrong, and it might be a panel of judges... unsure.

administrator 02-14-2007 05:40 PM

yeah, they're in australia now... i can't imagine them being very big fans of award shows... but hope he wins anyway! :)

cestoz 02-14-2007 06:19 PM

its industry types that decide who winds what, so they'l want to suck up to justin, again, by giving him the award, as it will make the event seem cooler with him getting the acclaim and being in the papers after, etc. sad but true.

borneoman 02-14-2007 06:42 PM

I think that the general public can only vote for a couple of things like Best UK Newcomer, they did a special last week in the Jo Willey program... The rest is voted by a bunch of record company executives, and of course it's all economic interests, nothing to do with music quality...

Dean C 02-14-2007 06:43 PM

Justin will win by a mile (not that we know the actual vote-tallys)

Vienna 02-14-2007 07:35 PM

proof that the brits are absolute bull****....

in a category including gnarls barkley, wolfmother, the raconteurs and ray lamontagne, friggin orson won best international breakthrough

what sacrilege

i will continue to watch it anyway but grrrrrrrrrrr

owlie 02-14-2007 07:50 PM

I'm sure Damien and the band are absolutely gutted beyond belief.
Wouldn't surprise me if they cancelled the Oz tour now.

Vienna 02-14-2007 08:13 PM

ha. ha. ha. belly laugh

yeh i agree...slitting their wrists as we speak

Ships_Were_Sailin 02-14-2007 08:24 PM

borneoman 02-14-2007 08:50 PM

the Brits are about songwriting :eek:

borneoman 02-14-2007 09:39 PM

Orson winning Best Int Newcomer was the biggest joke. They should have won Best One-Hit Wonders of the Year instead...

But I'm glad with Amy Winehouse and Nelly Furtado winning!!

Vienna 02-14-2007 09:56 PM

amy winehouse yeh but not nelly furtado....that woman does my head in

same here - she's SO annoying! She never stops frickin' laughing! I find my self asking everytime I see her: 'why are you laughing woman, WHY!'

borneoman 02-14-2007 10:59 PM

Snow Patrol won nothing, didn't they?? How could Take That's Patience win over Chasing Cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Nelly Furtado is ok, but I've never heard an interview of hers so don't know about her laughing. I liked her 2nd album Folklore a lot but her latest Loose is really disapointing, some songs are ok but then there's a lot of 3rd class urban crap

Gatsby 02-14-2007 11:05 PM

ah the brits.... another good reason for not watching telly tonight

Bumpman 02-14-2007 11:23 PM

Sigh. I seriously apologize on behalf of my country for unleashing her onto the world. She was supposed to have disappeared into obscurity after her first album, but I don't understand where the plan went wrong.

Timeé 02-14-2007 11:54 PM

yeah she was supposed to fly like a bird away after her first album.

Vienna 02-15-2007 06:30 AM

yeh what is it with the laughing, what's funny i don't get it!?

curse timbaland and all he does i say, i agree that her older stuff was ok but look what he turned her into...it's his fault she didn't fade into obscurity srahman, blame him

srahman24 02-15-2007 07:28 AM

Blame Timbaland eh? Well that I can do. It's much easier than blaming all of canada, at least.

(I think the last album did better in the states anyways. yep. wikipedia's confirmed it... she sold about 4-5times more of it in the states/europe)
