what`s the global success award? is this a new one?
I have a feeling that unless like 2010 when Laura Marling won and i was totally surprised and elated i will be sorely disappointed. I can already guess who will win and dominate mainly emeli Sande who whilst a nice lady is drab beyond belief if she wins best British album i mean seriously WTF.
what`s the global success award? is this a new one?
Yeah it's new.
Adele, One Directions and Mumford & Sons are the only nominees i.e the Brits who had the real major global success last year.
I imagine it's awarded to the Brit with the most global success, which makes the nominations a bit pointless because it obviously should go to Adele; and so actually I think it's quite likely she could win after all but I also think One Direction have a very good chance of beating her as well.
They really need to bring back the international categories, keeping Best International Male, Female and Group, bringing back Best Album and Breakthrough and even adding Best International Single. Yes I know it's called the Brits but for every Brit specific award there should be an international counterpart in my opinion. They axe all the international categories and then wonder why international artists don't bother to attend...
I think Mumford and Sons will win Best album, maybe to tie in with Album of the year at the grammys. Although i find them totally unlistenable and would rather listen to One direction over them, good luck to them if they do.
I think Rita ora will walk away with Breakthrough as it is sadly voted by the public, which means the public are unaware of the stunning beauty that is Miss Jessie Ware.
Radio One. She was asked who she's looking forward to performing. She asked if Beyonce is performing and the presenter said they weren't meant to say that.
Hahaha! Robbie on Radio One! He really doesn't care!
First he referenced Radio One not playing him "Yeah, thanks for THAT Radio One"
Then at the end Greg said "I think this performance will be one worth watching"
And he says "Yeah it might not be to be honest. I don't hold out much hope for it. It will be okay. I'd give the rehersel an 8 and a half, I'd give my rehearsal the other night a 6 and a half. Today I was a five. I'm gonna be inbetween 5 and 6 and a half. Don't expect too much from me"

Is it live?
It is, yeah.
Backstage just now:
Greg James: Are you running about like a headless chicken?
James Corden: Nah, I've actually just been paying FIFA
Then later:
Greg: Thanks so much for speaking to us
James: Its never a chore!
Greg: Well you can stay if you'd like
James: No, I'm gonna go.
*Both laugh*
James: Ive got a New Zealand team that needs to be taught a lesson!
Where you saw this?
Radio One. She was asked who she's looking forward to performing. She asked if Beyonce is performing and the presenter said they weren't meant to say that.
So many boring musicians. Was it always like this, or am I just remembering the Brits of my youth more fondly than they deserve?

Oh, and they played Candy. Awkward.
Something tells me another break up song isn't far...
To Little Mix: Quick question; wax, shave or pluck?
Then getting Jamela to ask for a kiss on the lips
Greg: Oh, that's backfired! She's getting off with him!
How incredible is Greg james at being not funny
