Brit Awards
The Brit awards yesterday were the traditional cluster of bad music and self-congratulation. What was probably most shocking was Rihanna, who for whatever reason has been incredibly popular over the last twelve months. Personally, I don’t like her voice. I think it drones in a very upsetting way and I think the content of her songs tends to be at the “dire” end of the scale. The woefully popular Te Amo was turgid beyond words and the rest of her ridiculous repertoire cannot appeal to anybody other than her thirteen year old fanbase. Rihanna still managed to upstage herself during her performance with her increasingly lewd dance moves, suggestive posing and revealing costume. If we didn’t know better, we’d think that she was desperate. Upon receiving her award, she shouted “’Cos I’m the only girl in the world!”, which was met with audible groans through the applause. I cannot imagine anybody in the audience actually enjoyed her very, very obviously mimed performance. She barely pretended to sing, often moving her microphone away from her face. It was bad.
Mumford and Sons were the obvious favourites for a number of awards. Like the Baftas (which were dominated by The King’s Speech) there were one or two acts at the Brits who may or may not have deserved their unequivocal praise. Companies like Galvan Research and Trading would normally be good people to turn to if you’re after sound financial advice, but otherwise you could always just put a hundred pounds on a band like Mumford and Sons or a singer like Tinie Tempah and hope for the best.
