Positives
The 60's rock movement is back. A lot of the hairstyles, fashions, and songs reminded my mum of the sixties. It wasn't just rock n roll remember, artists playing with lyrics and slower numbers were popular too. lots of instruments esp with mumford & sons
There wasn't much cheesy pop. Even the stuff we are meant to think of as pop like One Direction had drums and things, and leant more towards rock. The days of Steps & Spice girls are gone lol
I liked all the performances
Negatives
Too many ad breaks. they need to use on screen DOGS instead of cutting to ads too (a packet of walkers crisps in bottom right corner during songs)
I found James Corden's banter hit or miss
Too much Emeli Sande and One Direction. They are both harmless acts and have their markets concurred well, nothing against them, but, every act should have equal screentime.
Taylor Swift shouldn't have been there. publicity drive if there ever was one. Shes sold out, leaning towards manufactured pop, and also giving American country a bad name, which it defenetly doesn't deserve.
The bits where artists talked about what songs meant to them were cringe worthy.
Robbie came across as too cocky
Adele had the trophy in her hand 3 seconds after it was announced she had won - obv fixed!

Adele wasn't even there. She recorded a video message. Of course she's going to be holding the award..they probably knew she couldn't be there so sent it over to her...
The whole thing. It's just a coporate knees up now. Just a way of plugging a few favoured acts and selling a few more singles.
It needs a kick up the proverbial before it's too late, (if it isn't already) I long for the days of Jarvis wiggling his posterior at MJ
None of the performances are on Youtube
he was out of tune.
Negatives: too much Emeli Sande again.
yes he was, and he wasn't the only one
Agreed!
Agreed. Even Ms Swift's loud vocal backing track was out of tune on occasions.
I disagree.
Being a Britney fan, you probably wouldn't notice anyway.
Negatives : The whole darn lot but especially 1D getting an award. There is nothing to celebrate with these talentless berks who exist solely to make money for their evil mentor.
I think I would, don't bring the queen into this, you're not worthy.
Thank you! I was just commenting on twitter the other day about this! How the hell is she considered country? I am a huge fan of Carrie Underwood and you can hear the difference in their music. And while Carrie has added a pop/rock edge to her recent album, it still retains a huge country influence! Taylor has always, in my opinion, been pop!
Queen?
Well you had me laughing.
Haha got me chuckling too. That title is reserved for Adele or Queen Slayona.
But the worst part was when one direction and Simon Cowell got a bigger cheer than Dave Grohl from the audience. :mad::mad::mad:
Negatives: James Corden's presenting, One Direction (I like them but they did not sound good performing last night) and Emeli bloody Sande appearing every two minutes.
If Emeli comes back (and she inevitably will because her next album is due to come out some time this year ) then never again.
An 'Ill Manors' finale would have been sensational.
Negatives Paloma Faith and The Script should have both won
One boring Direction Sooo annoying they're not even in the country most of the time unless they need something
Too much Emily Sande Again all in all it was boring and predictable
Thank Goodness for Milans great win over Barca!
