The BRIT Awards

It was the BRIT Awards on Wednesday night. Take That, the Arctic Monkeys and the Foo Fighters were the big winners of the evening. All in all, most blogs have been full of praise for this year’s ceremony. However, some blogs like Unreality Music have criticised the amount of “drunken idiots both presenting and receiving awards”.

I could barely understand a word Vic Reeves said, and Alan Carr’s gag about sticking a straw in Amy Winehouse’s beehive was tasteless and insulting to someone who’s obviously trying to get her career back on track.

The Cheers Magazine was full of praise for Amy Winehouse…

The troubled star wowed the crowd at London's Earl's Court with her first live performance since leaving rehab by singing “Valerie” with Best British Male winner Mark Ronson.

She then took to the stage alone for an emotional rendition of “Love Is A Losing Game”, during which she mouthed “I love you” to the camera in tribute to her imprisoned husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

Another distinguished music star at the awards was Sir Paul McCartney. The Cheers Magazine comments…

The Beatles legend - who is embroiled in bitter court battle with estranged wife Heather Mills - vowed to get back to doing what he does best as he picked up his Outstanding Contribution award at the prestigious London ceremony.

Accepting his award from Kylie Minogue - who he personally requested to hand him the honour - he said: “I was privileged to be in The Quarrymen, The Beatles and Wings. I do think British music is the best.”

Hear, hear, Sir Paul!
