Personally I think that those who one the awards all deserved them and I’m really pleased that Adele got the awards she received, especially British Album of the Year for her multi platinum album ‘21’ personally I think it’s an incredible album. Although this was overshadowed by the fact her  her acceptance/ thank you speech was cut short by the presenter of the awards James Corden who had been instructed to do so by ‘the suits’ (producers/ directors) of the awards in order for Blur to be able to perform. This resulted in Adele making a rather naughty gesture before the lights went down for the beginning of Blur’s set.

In my opinion Adele shouldn’t have had her speech cut short, she is one of Britain’s biggest current musical successes and she was receiving one of the biggest awards for the night. I’m quite sure that if she was allowed to finish she wouldn’t have gone one for too long and it wouldn’t have made the awards overrun their scheduled time slot by too much than it already had. Also yes it a live show, but football matches over run so surely an allowance could have been made for the awards? Not to mention the fact some of the other parts of the show and acceptance speeches dragged on more than I thought they should have.

I thought Ed Sheeran’s performance was amazing. as was Adele’s. Personally I was completely taken by Olly Murs vocal performance although the set did look pretty impressive. I thought that Rihanna’s performance was pretty okay although it was pretty much the same as all of her other performances in my opinion. I’m not a huge fan of Blur’s but they did close the show well although it wasn’t to my taste.

What’s you thoughts of the Brits? Let me know in the comments.
