Ah, call me and ameature but I don't know how to set up a poll. Who sang the best for you?

Coldplay
Florence and the Machine
Olly Murs
Bruno Mars
Rihanna
Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds
Ed Sheeran
Adele
Blur

For me it was Florence and the Machine, I was totally blown away.

I guess probably Bruno Mars for me. I can't stand the song itself, but the performance I thought was very good, and I liked the arrangement of it too.

I thought all the performances were good though.

Blur for me as I'm a lifelong fan - always a pleasure for me to see them perform.

Hats off to Adele and Noel - also great.

I thought all the performances were pretty dire, but I'd say Florence (disappointed by lack of live Machine) was the best of a bad bunch. Adele sounded nervous/ill, Blur were disappointing and the rest were nothing special.

Adele.

Plus Florence and Rihanna. And Noel was also a surprise highlight for me.

Noel and Adele...





Chris Martin on piano made quite a difference also, seemed to sound better than usual anyway.

Florence was the best. Ed Sheeran and Adele were good even though Adele wasn't as good as usual. Bruno Mars has a nice voice, I just don't like his songs.

Olly and (it pains me to say it) Blur were by far the worst of the night though. Blur were really disappointing.

Flo. That big note she hit was incredible.

Majorly disappointed in Blur tonight, although reallistically they were never a live performance band, and always sounded so much better on record.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz - thought it was so boring - didn't really think about that at all.Suppose Blur at least brought a little energy to the Awards at the end (still didn't rate it though).

Should rename this - the 'Beige' awards next year zzzzzzzzzzzzz
That's what happens when the suits (accountants) take over the recording business (not the music industry thank God).

Have Blur always been bad live? I was too young in the 90s to have any idea who they were so I've only ever heard their records. I think that was actually the first time I'd ever heard them live. And I wasn't impressed.

None of them.

Even Blur were dreadful.

Worst live performances ever.

Adele was the worst.

Yes.
They have always been a poor live band.
Damon is an appalling vocalist.

Not true. Their Hyde Park gigs and Glasto headline in 2009 were amazing, but Girls and Boys is never a good live track - it's far too shouty so was an odd choice to open to. To be fair, this is their style for upbeat tracks.

The Universal, Tender and This Is A Low, where the tempo is slowed down and Damon gets a chance to sing are all amazing live.

Bruno Mars was the standout performance of the night... great song, great musical arrangement, great vocals... just pure class.

Florence & The Machine was amazing.

I would also like to say Ed Sheeran, but, I found it boring...
