proud to be british...

So, the best performance, in the last 30 years (which in my case means the best performance in more than a lifetime) at the Brit Awards is...

The Spice Girls. REALLY? In 30 years, is that really the best we have to offer? The other nominees - or let's be honest, the losers - must be feeling pretty down right now to have lost to a performance containing the immortal line "I wanna, I wanna, I really really really wanna zigazig ah"...


The losers list in full:

Bee Gees - 'Stayin' Alive'/'How Deep Is Your Love'
Bros. - 'I Owe you Nothing'
Coldplay - 'Clocks'
Eurythmics & Stevie Wonder - 'Angel'
Girls Aloud - 'The Promise'
Kanye West - 'Gold Digger'
Kylie Minogue - 'Can't Get You Out of my Head'
Michael Jackson - 'Earth Song'
Paul McCartney - 'Live & Let Die'
Pet Shop Boys - 'Go West'
Robbie Williams & Tom Jones - 'The Full Monty Medley'
Scissor Sisters - 'Take Your Mama'
Take That - 'Beatles Medley'
The Who - 'Who Are You'

a belated update

So people have known for a while now but I have been far too busy to write about it (busy being another word for lazy of course), but the Glasto 2010 headliners are.....

RUBBISH!

Ok, Stevie Wonder would be amazing, and definitely one of those once in a lifetime things, but Muse and U2? No thanks! I know Muse put on a great show, and U2 are legends, etc etc, but they just don't seem like very interesting choices. When Jay Z was announced as a headliner, there was a huge backlash, and a lot of people thought it was a bad decision, but at least it was interesting! And quite brave really, taking a chance on something completely different to what people expect. On the slightly plus side, it's better than another reformed band, as that's been done to death now.

In other good news, Florence, MGMT, and The Cribs are all rumoured, now I just need to decide if I should keep my ticket or not....
