Yes, I do think Shine is the weakest song and would have preferred Rule The World to win best single instead. I do agree though, Bleeding Love should have won over Shine, but Leona has years ahead of her and will probably win a lot more awards than just a brit for best single.

Rule The World is an amazing song - I'm glad we heard it on the live act nomination

Probably finding comfort in his 15 awards.

I'm very happy for Take That. I thought they should have got Best Group - afterall they've shown they have serious staying power.

Glad they got Best Live Act as their shows have been amazing.

That's not the point, Leona had the years best single by a country mile as voted by the public in sales (and by every other metric), it is Record of the Year, and was robbed of this award.

I hope Take That gets the backlash from the press that they deserve.

I can understand you are upset that leona didnt win but to wish ill on another when it was out of their control is very low and sick.

Yes, you are right, that is not the point.

Leona was robbed.

its done there is nothing you or anyone else can do to change it.

I have seen many bands in concert in the last 15 years and no-one has ever come close to putting on a decent tour like Take That do. That award was well deserved tonight they have worked their backsides off to put on a tour to remember.
To those that don't agree with Best Single I suggest you vote next time because thats the only way to change things!
Congrats to the TT lads x

True.

At least she will get some great press and a lot of sympathy for this.

They are probably mighty embarrassed at this as well (or should be).

They have fantastic press tonight! sorry to disappoint

well I hope she dosen't get sympathy as a artist I would think she would want to do well on her own merits.

Did not deserve either.

Best live act?! They don't even play instruments live. All they do is rock up, sing (when they're not miming) and do a few crap dance moves. The others all play live, sing live all the time and sound less 'polished', which is good.

Best single? Absolute joke. It wasn't THAT popular at the time; how it beat Leona is amazing. But the choices were rubbish - WHY wasn't Rihanna up?! Number 1 for 10 weeks not enough? What a farce.

Gary plays the piano on tour and Jason plays guitar I need not go on as you don't know what your talking about :yawn:
Leona did not win best single as the fans did not call to vote simple as that.

Rhianna isn't British and so wasn't eligible.

Take That NEVER mime on tour and they on mime on shows when they have to. As pointed out, Rihanna is from Barbados and so isnt allowed to be nominated

I agree

I love the fact that its now Take That's fault that the public voted them winners of 2 awards.

If all the people moaning that they shouldn't have won had voted then maybe the outcome would have been different.

I don't know how people can out and out say Muse's show was better. Muse's show is completely different kind of show to the Take That show. Both bands are supremely talented at what they do.

In fairness, Take That played nearly 50 shows on their tour last year, and carried on whilst one member had a punctured lung.

Muse have won it before and will no doubt win it again - I don't expect they're losing any sleep over it.

I nither like or dislike Take That

but Im pleased they won

at least they are not pamperd by parents and comming from the 'Brits School'

A great post

I agree if they voted it may have been a diffrent out looks. To me it looks like sour grape on their parts if anything.

Oh well sore losers are always gonna call on it.

I have seen Take That mime on TV before.

Of course Rihanna is from Barbados, ohhh I'm an idiot hehe. Sorry

They did vote!

But grown ups are not prepared to empty their phone credit like little girls are.

yer right whatever PMSL

So its was all grown up who had a field day in the Leona fan thread in x factor forum who was telling everyone to vote like mad and to keep refreshing their cookies on the ROTY vote.

TUT TUT a very sad thing for grown ups to do dont you think.

pull the other one its got bells on it

but then again you could be right and thats why leona won x factor coz only the little girls were prepared to empty their phone credit and not the adults.

Well if everyone who "emptied their phone credit" voting Leona winner of X Factor voted for best single she'd have won it no sweat.

And when it comes to Take That, I don't think you could accuse anyone of it being down to "little girls" voting.

The voiceover woman said it was neck and neck between Take That/Leona for the majority of the way so if the TT fans were emptying their phone credit, I'm guessing the Leona fans were doing the same.


And the Live Act award it was impossible to multiple vote for - so it was down to more people voting for TT than Muse.
