Did anybody see the brits??

Am I the only one who thinks Prince at least deserved a nomination for best international artist??

Do you really think you're going to be the only one who thinks that on a Prince fansite?

Spookymuffin said:

Point taken

But did you see the other nominations? I can understand Usher, Eminem and Kanye West. But who the hell were the other two??

was prince there????? did it air yet?????/

Yet another fucking British fiasco!!!!!

Why, his album bombed here and rightly so..it was utter garbage.Prince is well past his sell by date musically...live...that's a different matter.

The only reason the album was so big in the US was because he gave it away, if he hadn't it would have sold nothing.

sexymuthafcuker said:

One was Brian Wilson, the other was Tom Waitts wasn't it?

You don't know Brian Wilson?

Hmm, don't think he got quite enough hype over here in Blighty this year to be fair..so they have just kind of ignored him as usual...

He has had success at the Brits in the past though of course - Best International Group with the Revolution and best soundtrack in '84, and Best International Solo Artist in '92 and '93

On the plus side, at least the Beddingfields chose to murder a non-Prince song in the end.

Well at least it was an interesting arrangement and they are pretty good singers.

I'm unsure why anyone really takes the Brits seriously anyway, I can think of many acts that deserve a lifetime achievement award other than Bob Geldof.

sinaplenty said:

I thought they were great. I really good arrangement. I hope they do a single of it. At least they made an effort, unlike some acts.

Prince didn't deserve a nomination this year. He hasn't done anthing in the uk. I'm not sure about Tom Waits either.

Brian Wilson has sold a lot this year, and had a sell out tour.

i was pleasently surprised by that lassie joss stone, i thought she was fucking amazing, the song she sang with the gospel background was amazing. For a white girl she sure has alot of soul in her voice. Robbie made a tit of himself singing next to her. I will definately be shelling out on her album

peace

Yes thanks to the great British public, Angels is the best song from the past 25 years, no doubt re-released on Valentine's Day..sigh

sexymuthafcuker said:

Prince has put absolutely no effort into the UK or European markets in the last 12 months (and more)... he can't expect to get anything out of it if he doesn't put anything in

sexymuthafcuker said:

You should be the only one that thinks that... WHat exactly has P done in the UK this year except bring out an album no one knows about and no one bought?

Gold319 said:

Why? Its about what has done well and deserves props for what they have done in the UK market...

the Brits are quite strange that way.
Beck usually pops up every few years for best international male
regardless if he has done anything or not.

Aint nothing wrong with that song... It may not be up to your taste which is fair enough, but you cant knock it for its popularity, its staying power and how it has crossed generations from grandmothers to teeny boppers...

Im not a big Robbie fan but I think its the best thing he has ever done and you cannot deny how big he is in this country...

Jon said:

I can knock it for it's popularity and it's staying power. It's a huge, overblown, obvious, swathed in strings and piano 'power ballad'. Anyone who likes this songs is a fucking idiot and knows nothing about music. Dig deeper and the rewards are greater.

Thats just not true is it?

RocknRollisalive said:

Sorry but it is. If you like that song then you've made your choice. I am so fucking sick of Williams i could projectile vomit blood. Since when did we start listening to village idiots? There are some truly awe inspiring artists and musicians around, with songs that can greatly enrich us. It's utter laziness to listen to this garbage.

Jon said:

It is a bad state of affairs when a tubby ex boyband member singing a crap song which he didnt even write himself soars in popularity over "love will tear us apart" by joydivision. He may be popular but that doesn't excuse the fact that he has no talent

williammelvinhicks said:

How bout "I cant stand that song and I cant really see what anyone could possibly get out of it"

Rather than...

"Anyone who likes this songs is a fucking idiot and knows nothing about music"

Just a thought

RocknRollisalive said:

no, i feel that strongly about it. it's fake emoting contrived by professional writers. you are an idiot if you're duped by it.

williammelvinhicks said:

Hey, I haven't even given my opinion on the song

Jon said:

But the public are saying it is the best track in the past 25 years, don't you find that worrying.

to be honest i'm 95% sure robbie writes the lyrics to all his songs and has done from the start, and angels is written about his mother and the help she gave him while he was getting off drugs

personally the song does my fucking head in but it's very well written. it's just ridiculously overplayed. in time it might be viewed a little differently, but i don't think you can argue with the fact it's still one of the most requested songs on radio 8 years after it's release

but yeah, i can't stand it!

i thought it was a prince song the bedingfields performed.. well a prince-penned song - did prince not right all chaka khan's stuff?
