Brit Awards 2020

Tempted to start the countdown timer for the first "can we have an upvote increase Neil?" post 

[maelzoid]

There comes a time in life when acts that have been nominated for Brits are ones you've never even heard of, let alone listened to.

I am now at that time.

I don't think I can get as trollied as I did last year, think I had a 3 day hangover and I was at work for those 3 days. Still though I've got some cans in the fridge and some Kraken if needs be. It's always a laugh at the car crash of awards shows.

I see Lizzo is performing. I'd like her to say "see you at Glastonbury!"

Exactly.

Or Burna Boy

And I'm not sure if I've heard of Dermot Kennedy or not. He sounds like he should be a guitar-strumming troubadour in the Frank Turner vein, but probably isn't.

I find it curious there is no International Group category... anyone know a reason why. Are BTS unavailable for the ceremony?

Theh have cut awards to allow more time for performances. No best video either.

Just been through North Greenwich station on my way home. Lots of record company secretaries dressed up for the night.

Is the Annual eFestivals BRIT Awards Piss Up happening in this thread? 

I’ve been a little slack in organising kicking it off this year. 

I have no booze, I drank yesterday, I’m trying to give up drinking mid week.....better nip to Aldi quick.

Love the song so will be interesting to hear it live, just hope she doesn’t distract from the performance with strange oversized eye furniture, or am I just being an old fart? That’s a rhetorical question by the way. 

Old fart edit, didn’t do Elton any harm!

I genuinely thought it was Mumford and Sons I was listening too when he was on the radio. If that helps.

I'm already watching the red carpet as I'm an hour ahead (in Europe). Lizzo is amazing! She has come in a dress with "milk chocolate" written on it - so cool. She was really friendly to the interviewer and seemed genuinely excited to be there. Such a breath of fresh air

Just wait for the contrast of a Gallagher...

I'm straddling two sides of it tonight - doing an overnight at work to help with their coverage of the BRITs. Excited to watch this thread descend into anarchy soon.
