Yes , it's on a Saturday night with Mo Gilligan as the presenter , instead of a Tuesday or a Wednesday! No idea why.
Harry Styles, Lizzo , Wet leg , Stormzy amongst others will be ( miming) or even singing with , maybe , some controversial musings not seen since Mick Fleetwood and Sam Fox presented it in the 80s ! Will I know any of them ? A few , maybe , but not the actual songs.
I'm sure Mr Styles will win a few. Harry's house isn't a bad album tbf, although I know he isn't everyone's cup of tea.
Music isn't like it was in ' my day'. Of course ..

Normans a legend, however cant stand David Guetta, arrogant little man..

Jesus Christ it's appalling. Gone are the days when artists had some form of discernible musical talent and could ALSO string a sentence together.

The MC made me hide behind a cushion and then force me to bed - it was so fucking amateur.

Honestly it was like the sort of 'show' my kids would put on when they were 7 .. including the embarrassing long gaps in conversation and general wittering absolute crap. Including the inevitable smattering of swear words - always the haven of those challenged with a more expansive vocabulary.

Can't believe anyone would want to put their name to this..

Remember Pet Shop Boys with the Welsh miners doing Go West? That was epic

I wish Mo knew how to pronounce 'ask'

DG is not even in the same league as FS

Littleguggi · 11/02/2023 22:24

Well this is awkward

The people wearing all the contouring and skimpy clothes look past it now. The younger ones are all very natural looking.

So we're waiting for Sam Smith as the finale because he's so effing special?

Ndd135632 · 11/02/2023 22:26

Let’s see what they can do shall we

MuseThrower · 11/02/2023 22:26

I’m looking forward to seeing Sam Smith attempting to dance in his inflatable jumpsuit.

Omg it is just so bad. The announcers, the acceptors, the host..all the speeches are terrible, everyone looks off their tits! Beyond cringe!

That has been really irritating me too. The number of times he said the word also highlighted how poor his interviewing skills are, he's used the same phrase about 50 times.

The Brits was always a bit messy though. I think it's more sterile sadly.

OnTheRunWithMannyMontana · 11/02/2023 22:28

I'm turning it off when Sam Smith comes on. Can't bear to watch them.

Couldn't bear to watch them when they identified as male and dressed as a man before the MN massive jump on me.

JaneJeffer · 11/02/2023 22:28

Me too @Ndd135632 reminds me of the 90's
