This is all rather upsetting. It was stupid of me to expect anything good this year, but this may have been the worst BRITS I have seen. The worst part, other than James Blunt actually winning best Pop act, was the fact that people are saying 'it's okay this year because the Kaiser Chiefs did well'. I just can't make that sentence work in my head.

Thank god for Paul Weller though. He'd rather 'eat his own shit' than play with Blunt. The awards only needed a mooning, Jarvis Cocker style, in order to provide a grin on recollection.

Anyone have their own favourites this year or agreed with any of the judges choices? Sorry for the largely self gratifying crap I have just posted.

Who the hell is this James Blunt guy? I'd never heard of him until a couple weeks ago when it was announced that The Boy Least Likely To would be opening at the 9:30 Club for this guy. I went to get my tickets and it had sold out in like 6 hours. Today was the only other time I've seen/heard his name. The hell?

He's only really big in Britain right now, but he's becoming more popular everywhere else. I'm guessing you'll hear more of him sooner or later. Despite your incident with the tickets, he is nothing at all like the Boy Least Likely To. At all. He's one of those types where everyone you know hates him, yet he stills shifts millions of copies.

What if I said I really dig on James Blunt's music?

You would be completely within your rights to do so! I am just not a very good person when it comes to respecting the fact people might not like the stuff that I do. Sorry for insulting him and all.

No apology necessary. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But I do find him quite nice to listen to. And do to not really listening to the radio here (as it SUCKS), I may not get sick of him do to the soon to come overplayage (I feel it...it's nearing...). :)
