The Brits 2021

[GNL]

GO ON HAIM

 

[Ellie]

The tables look like something from a children’s birthday party. I hope there’s jelly and ice cream.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I'm not watching this tosh.

But I did seethat Taylor Swift wins a lifetime achievement award.

A lifetime of WHAT EXACTLY?

 

[Ellie]

GRIFF? That’s Biff’s grandson from Back To The Future Part 2.

 

[Rita]

Why didn’t we send this to Eurovision??

 

[Rita]

This is FANTASTIC!!

 

[rhythmbandit]

Why didn’t we send this to Eurovision??

I was just thinking that. The staging, the presence, the song all 10.

 

[Ellie]

This is average and her voice wouldn’t get past the battle rounds on The Voice.

 

[Rita]

This is average and her voice wouldn’t get past the battle rounds on The Voice.

 

[Ellie]

It was NOT good. Standards have slipped.

 

[Ellie]

Harry Styles deserves this.

 

[win_the_game]

It feels like they're scraping the barrel with the guests and presenters this year.

 

[Rita]

It was NOT good. Standards have slipped.

WRONG

 

[Ellie]

Hurrah! A proper song.

 

[GNL]

I thought Griff was GREAT (even if I EYEROLLED at her thanking God. This ain't the GRAMMYS).

 

[Funky]

I'm not watching this tosh.

But I did seethat Taylor Swift wins a lifetime achievement award.

A lifetime of WHAT EXACTLY?

to be fair she’s been a top selling artist for 15 years straight. That’s like Madonna getting one in 1999.

 

[Rita]

What did he SAY?

 

[Funky]

What just got muted?

 

[Rita]

I want to know what the Jack Whitehall comment was!

 

[Funky]

Oh another song with pistol sound effects Brrrr brrrr brap brap I’m so tough!

why does every grime performance look like a parody

 

[Ellie]

Stage set-up here like a 90s P Diddy video

 

[Funky]

I’m getting old. This is offensive to hip-hop

 

[Rita]

Could they not have put this on EARLIER?

 

[rhythmbandit]

If I was 20 years younger I'd love this. Staging is good though.

 

[Funky]

All the charisma and stage presence of roadkill

 

[Ellie]

I’m getting old. This is offensive to hip-hop

I don’t think they’ve had much performing experience. They needed the dancers to make it vaguely interesting.

 

[win_the_game]

All the charisma and stage presence of roadkill

That applies to nearly all the performers this evening.

 

[Rita]

where is PINK?

 

[rhythmbandit]

Is Taylor there?!

 

[Ellie]

LOL, this tape of TS is a parody, right?

“A creative visionary who speaks her truth”

 

[Rita]

She’s no Beyonce but I don’t get the hate. She has some pretty good songs.

 

[win_the_game]

Did her team script this intro VT?

 

[Ellie]

She’s no Beyonce but I don’t get the hate. She has some pretty good songs.

She not a great performer or singer and her songs are... OK but hardly iconic. Better than Beyoncé’s songs but with 1000th of the stage presence. Basically, Kylie shits on them all.

 

[GNL]

ANNIE LENNOX!

 

[GNL]

Did her team script this intro VT?

Knowing Taylor Swift, she probably had final approval.

 

[Rita]

She not a great performer or singer and her songs are... OK but hardly iconic. Better than Beyoncé’s songs but with 1000th of the stage presence. Basically, Kylie shits on them all.

What absolute TRIPE. She is a great songwriter, and is very likeable and probably relatable to a certain age range.


BEYONCE > KYLIE

 

[Ellie]

Dua Lipa really is the only performer under 40 at the moment with the potential to be able to stand alongside classic performers who have both the songs and the stage craft.

 

[Ellie]

What absolute TRIPE. She is a great songwriter, and is very likeable and probably relatable to a certain age range.


BEYONCE > KYLIE

Beyoncé had a great voice and makes great videos and is amazing live. Can’t think of a SINGLE song she’s done in the last 10 years that is even more than a 5/10 though.

I’m sure TS is a lovely person too, but meh for the songs.

 

[Rita]

What absolute TRIPE. She is a great songwriter, and is very likeable and probably relatable to a certain age range.


BEYONCE > KYLIE

Actually this is a lie. I have not liked a Beyonce song in about 10 years. Beyoncé’s old stuff with and without Destiny’s Child absolutely SLAYS for me, but Kylie is better now and does have an amazing back cat.

I STAND CORRECTED.

 

[Rita]

Beyoncé had a great voice and makes great videos and is amazing live. Can’t think of a SINGLE song she’s done in the last 10 years that is even more than a 5/10 though.

SNAP!
