Why I don't like the BRIT awards (but I'll still be watching it anyway)

Anyone who is British (or follows British music) would have obviously heard of the BRIT awards. The annual event has somehow managed to become synonymous with being all rowdy and controversial. Now, I don't know how this has happened seeing as I can only remember two instances where this has happened. I'll admit, I'm no showbiz veteran but you would have thought that there would have been more than two naughty moments in the eighteen years that I've been alive. The ceremony is basically like that kid at school who pretended to act all badass but never actually did anything rebellious.

So Arctic Monkeys got a bit drunk and started swearing. So what? Blur cut Adele's speech short and she stuck her middle finger up. Big deal. Sure you can criticize these artists for acting inappropriately at what is arguably the biggest music awards ceremony in the country. However, there's no need to hype the show up  by saying that something extraordinarily rude is going to happen. Those past moments that were mentioned aren't even that bad anyway. It's not like any explicit sexual activities or drug taking were shown. If the BRIT awards had a film certificate then it would merely be a 12A.

Apart from those two years, the show is usually a bit of a snooze fest. Who can honestly say that they can remember what happened at the BRIT awards in 2009? Because I certainly can't. It's totally forgettable if you want my opinion.

Also, why is James Corden hosting for like the fourth year in a row? I'm no hater of James Corden but surely you should try and spruce up things by getting in someone different. The Gavin and Stacey star was fine the first time but now we'll know what to expect. It's kind of like how a joke stops becoming funny after you've heard it more than once.

It pains me to own up to this, but I'll still be watching the BRIT awards anyway. I'll be making my predictions and I'll be tuning in to see if I was correct. There's something intriguing about trying to guess who's going to win and I can't help but do it. Call me a hypocrite or whatever but I enjoy doing this and that's all that really matters.

Maybe, just maybe we'll actually have a show this year that isn't entirely disappointing. Lucky charms galore will be needed in order for this to happen though probably.
