    Looking forward to some of the perfomances, especially the duets/collaborations.

    I really do hope Bastille win atleast 1 award, hopefully best album, for me they have had the best year however Disclosure are also high on my list.

    I hope OD win **** all but they wont I fear they might get best single which is voted for by the public isn't it

    rudimental and disclosure are both groundbreaking acts...but for me I prefer the disclosure album... but fear that I may be in the minority..to me the sound production is flawless

    I hear that rudimental are performing with bastille - could they be performing: waiting all night/ of the night mix

    and that disclosure are performing with lorde.... white noise with royals could work?

    I love these kind of edgy mixes ....

    Why oh why is James Corden presenting yet again. He's just not very good at it.

    Anyway, I hope Bastille wins also. And I hope Janelle Monae wins best international female. Or Pink. Or Lady Gaga. Or Lorde. Just not Katy Perry! She hasn't had a good song since Last Friday Night.

    I just can't wait for Beyoncé's performance. If she does do Pretty Hurts I hope she starts of acapella before it all kicks in.

    That would be great.

    But that award has got Ellie Goulding's name on it.

    I'm looking forward to catching up with this tomorrow. I won't be able to watch it tonight as the parents are likely to be watching something else. I'm the only one in the family who likes these sort of things.

    I'd welcome a second win at Best British Female for Laura Marling. :)

    Never had a problem with James Corden before but there is something so smug, arrogant and a fake persona when he presents.

    I quite like him but I think he's done the right thing making this his last year, time for somebody new, although I hope it's not Grimshaw.

    James Corden is a horrific, unfunny presenter.

    thought as show it was good but not great....

    it was missing some star sparkles ...

    best moments:

    best live act: arctic monkeys - that A and M in flames was epic. But so surprised that they didn't sing 'Do I wanna Know?" it just fitted the look and mood better.
    best performance - Katy Perry ...it was perhaps the only performance on the show
    best collab - rudimental and bastille
    best presenter - prince
    beyonce was great too

    good decision to extend the show by 15 mins

    this year needed an outstanding contribution act with true star quality. The show was missing that element of surprise & wow

    They're not. Drum & bass, house, garage have been done by countless artists for decades, but Rudimental and Disclosure have definitely been very welcome additions to the mainstream!

    James Corden ruining it again. Any need for him to be all over Harry Styles again? And that kiss between him and nick Grimshaw, disgusting!

    The Artic Monkeys have never been the same since they signed to SYCO.

    I actually found that kiss between him and grimshaw revolting. I really did. Could the producers not come up with two better looking guys to kiss?

    Trying to catch up this morning seeing as I couldn't watch it last night. Gonna have to wait a while seeing as On Demand haven't added it yet. :(

    Knowing my luck it'll be added when my Dad gets home which means I won't be able to watch it then either.

    And what exactly was "disgusting" about it? Keep your homophobic views to yourself please. Urgh.
