Brit This
Dear The Brits
After viewing the recently released shortlist of nominees for the 2010 Brit Awards, I am writing to applaud your pleasantly unexpected sense of humour that I have previously failed to recognise.
Obviously after last year’s fiasco, what with Girls Aloud winning best single, and everything else going to that soul robot Duffy that Bernard Butler crafted in his basement, the public were of the impression that The Brits had little-to-no credibility left.
So I guess your answer this year was to release this fake list of nominees to give the doubters a bit of a chuckle. Seriously, as if we’d really fall for the fact that you’d put Joe McElderry’s The Climb up for Best Song, or Cheryl Cole’s Fight for This Love, especially as her marketing team actually admitted to making her work as generic as possible so they could reach the maximum number of consumers. Also, bravo-the idea that you’d nominate Keane’s Hopes and Fears as one of the best albums of the last 30 years? Inspired; it made me LOL nearly as much as I did when I saw Black Eyed Peas up for International Album.
But what really gave your little wind-up away is that the coveted prize of Outstanding Contribution to Music has gone to Robbie Williams. God love him, he’s a proper laugh alright, but having a hand in writing Feel eight years ago before being usurped by Gary Barlow and his merry troop of M&S poster boys hardly puts him in the ranks of oh, I don’t know, most people we cherish in the history of British music.
Anyways, cheers for the laugh, really needed it today, looking forward to receiving the real list soon.
Best wishes,
Jess
P.S. Please don’t let those two from Gavin and Stacey near a microphone this year, they suck. Ditto for Fearne Cotton.
