Somewhere, someone must've penned a parable about how truly outrageous it is that faraway parts of the world as so well-connected to other faraway parts of the world. Aha! Here it is. Anyway, that's probably why here in America, the Brits, even in the untelevised-during-primetime-hours glory, are a more exciting prospect than the Grammys -- even considering the latter's baby mama rapping royalty, though both ceremonies are regarded as dowdy and also-ran on their home turfs. Anyway, here's a rundown of who went home crying, who went home with boring trophies, and an obligatory Kylie Minogue reference.
Who went home crying? Coldplay. Unlike their Grammy victory, they scooped up no awards. I suppose you could say Coldplay was frozen out of the Brits. Wait, someone already did.
Obligatory Kylie Minogue reference. Meanwhile Coldplay collaborator Kylie Minogue was her cheery self, miming along to an eight-year-old pop song as a pair of cross-dressing comedians joined her onstage.She later said, “I just think it is the most hilarious thing and the best ever way ever to start the Brits." I guess setting the bar low helps when something more exciting happens. Also, Minogue hosted the proceedings and changed her dress six times during the show.
Who went home with boring trophies? Mostly Duffy and Kings of Leon. Although Katy Perry did snag one for being the best pop star who is neither a man nor a British citizen. Also, Girls Aloud won one for this single which they later performed, complete with an introduction from Kylie. It was probably enough to make any of the Iron Maiden fans, tuning in to see their idols collect a prize for Best Live Act, go gay. No doubt upon securing his win for the same prize as Katy Perry, but for a man, Kanye West was most likely pittering in an update to his blog from his mobile in the form of, "LOL I WON." There were some other victors too.
