Are the Foos nominated for anything? or they just flying over to play the cheese shop and nip round the Eavis house for tea?

I'm usually firmly in the 'you're entitled to your opinion' camp but no no no and more no. Everything that could possibly be wrong with a cover is wrong with that cover - it's by a Simon Cowell talent show alumni, it's more successful and acknowledged than the original, people think it was written by him not Robyn, it completely misses the self-empowerment subtext of the original and turns it into a funeral march about feeling sorry for yourself, the fact it's been an important gay anthem for years but now straight people are appropriating it, the fact he has the most annoying 'singing' voice since the invention of singing, it's just horrendous

Also as a side note he copied the arrangement from a YouTube cover so he deserves no 'credit' for that either, please and thank you.

Plus he doesn't even attempt the Robyn dance! Amateur.

Vernon Kay just said there's a secret act playing tonight, could be the Foos.

Just found out that I am actually going to be free tonight I believe. I take it this thread will generally be a slating session? If so I'll be involved.

Yes. 

Everytime someone shit either says, does or sings something shit, you have a drink. 

You'll be drunk in no time. It's the only way you'll get through the evening.

Drink every time something shit happens. 

You'll be c**ted by 11pm. 

 

Beaten to it by Yeti.

Not what I meant, just none of them should win compared to Laura Mvula. Soz

Bit weird that in 2017 we still have awards for music decided by gender. I bet we don't in five years time.

The BRits is the kind of thing where you imagine that if there weren't specific categories for women then women would just get totally ignored (e.g. look at this year's Best Album nominees ffs), from that perspective I don't know that it'd be such a good thing for it to be a free for all tbh

I hadn't thought of it that way, but you make a good point.

Seemingly her lack of nominations was the last straw for her label because she was dropped within days. So pathetic

Little mix vs skepta.  Pop vs grime.  Who will win??? This is like oasis vs blur all over again!!
