Raye is just like a Amy Winehouse tribute act.

Couldn't name a song.

Who is she? I need an education.

I'm 33 and I know/recognise a lot of them. Some of them I didn't realise I knew until I heard their songs. I keep pretty up to date with pop culture and new music though to be fair.

I am 60 and thought jungle were brilliant!

ssd · 02/03/2024 22:29

I have no clue either

AmusedMaker · 02/03/2024 22:32

Yes Jungle are good.
( busy earning is a great song, few years old now though )

MintyCedric · 02/03/2024 22:33

Loved Jungle and Raye is incredible. Saw her live back in 2018 at a Pride event…she’s phenomenal performer and has achieved so much as an independent, black, female artist.

DSD9472 · 02/03/2024 22:38

I've never watched it- I now know why!
I assumed everyone had to be British but how did Miley Cyrus win something? 😕
Never heard of Raye, nor 90% of the others.

donteatthedaisies0 · 02/03/2024 22:46

Was the Brits on ?😂

VeniVidiWeeWee · 02/03/2024 22:49

Yes.

Jethro Tull.

Pink Floyd.

Fairport Convention.

Bluepetergarden · 02/03/2024 22:49

I think the last one I watched was Sam Fox and Mick Fleetwood

macshoto · 02/03/2024 22:53

Not just you. I read that RAYE had won the most Brit awards in one night, so listened to the first few tracks of her album.

Both DW and I turned to each other and said something along the lines of, "She's OK, but that sounds so over-produced... she can clearly write, and arguably sing, but it's hard to tell behind all that 'production'."

cleaningandbathing · 02/03/2024 23:02

Even the nominees I’ve never heard of. I have the radio on all day at work as well. The Brits certainly don’t represent music listening across the country in my opinion. If Kyle wasn’t on at the end, I’d have not known anyone except dua Lipa.

bornak · 02/03/2024 23:03

Kylie was superb. The rest of it was utter garbage.

Michiamo · 02/03/2024 23:05

I’m 47 and have hardly heard of any of them.

I used to love it and watch when I was younger.
I’ve also been a few times for work.

It used to attract some really big stars and bands. Now there seems to be a lot of reality tv people. I know the industry has changed alot due to social media so perhaps that’s why. (Or it’s just my age 👵🏻)

WinterMorn · 02/03/2024 21:58

First time I have heard Raye and she’s not for me.

Me neither

BananaSplitsss · 02/03/2024 23:07

What a pile of tripe apart from Kylie

Amillionmenwenttomowameadow · 02/03/2024 23:08

Kylie was the best performer there, which says it all, so much music is rubbish these days

NooNakedJacuzziness · 02/03/2024 23:10

I always preferred the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party

No don't bring them back please, I love new music and I'm late 50's

AKAsomeoneelse · 02/03/2024 23:10

I like Raye, her lyrics are very relatable for me as a nearly 60 year old and also for my 20 year old daughter. Also love Calvin Harris and Kylie was brilliant as always.

Ah that's a throwback!

Needathickskin · 02/03/2024 23:11

DH and I laughing at Chase and Status (won best producer). We both surmised they were ex public school educated and now very much Ali G styled ….a quick Look on their Wikipedia page and we were right!
had never heard of them before tonight

I'm still cringing at that one! 😬🙈🤣

Dogball · 02/03/2024 23:13

Watched most of it with my 15 year old daughter and was surprised at how many she knew! Nice to hear her engage (albeit briefly!) in something that isn’t her phone. I recognised some of the songs from tiktok etc but couldn’t have told you who most of the artists were.
