Another Disgrace !!

Was Morrissey at the awards - after all the talk of duets with Rubbish Williams ?

They will be dancing in the streets of Chav City.

Awards are given to the ones who please the largest, common, uninteresting, boring, unstudied crowd. The same goes for power in a democracy.

Thank god, Morrissey doesn't appeal to them. He wouldn't be proud of pleasing morons, would he ?

I am pig sick. Even though I don't rate these awards, I would rather that he hadn't been nominated, because he is inevitably going to be seen as a loser now. FIRSTODIE

There was a reason he was 12-1

Personally, not stocked and shunned to be honest!

They are one of the best groups out there.

Yep, I said It!!!,

Let's not make the mistake of taking these awards too seriously...

'Band Aid 20' nominated for Best British Single?
If I had to shortlist the 3 WORST singles, that would be one of my hotpicks.

And let's face it, Will Young's 'Leave Right Now' making the Top 5 in The Best Song In The Last 25 Years catagory, unbelievably won by the earth-shattering 'Angels' from Robbie Williams, (beating Love Will Tear Us Apart) just highlights what an absolute joke these awards are.

Ian Curtis R.I.P.... you're better off out of it mate.

!!!
That's outrageous.

Then, it's a well-known fact that the Brit Awards are inevitably chosen by the boses & not at all to do with public opinion on the music itself.

I think it's disgusting that a band who can sing a song about a girl playing with her hair can win over Morrissey, i won't be watching it tomorrow night, i'd rather spend it vomiting in my shoe whilst listening to Britney Spear sped up to hamster-level.

Morrissey apostles are the real winners - every time.

People will still be analysing and worshipping Morrissey when my children are in their dotage.

If the world lasts that long.

The Brits - we all know that it's just rhyming slang, don't we?

When I read that Morrissey hadn't won a Brit I took to my bed. I am not leaving this bed until he receives recognition.

They made that boat woman a Dame; why not Dame Morrissey?

It doesn't really matter to me that Morrissey didn't win a Brit award, because it wouldn't have looked right in his house anyway.

The Streets are harmless, but I can't quite forgive them for using the word 'mate' in a song.

I don’t think Moz is gonna lose a night’s sleep about missing that one. There are so many agendas going on that it’s virtually meaningless. Here’s a story about other noble people who were overlooked because they did not meet superficial standards:

THE LADY IN A FADED GINGHAM DRESS
The lady in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston and walked timidly, without an appointment, into the president of Harvard's outer office. The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no business at Harvard and probably didn't even deserve to be in Cambridge. She frowned. "We want to see the president", the man said softly. "He'll be busy all day", the secretary snapped. "We'll wait", the lady replied. For hours, the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away. They didn't. The secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president, even though it was a chore she always regretted doing. "Maybe if they just see you for a few minutes, they'll leave", she told him. He sighed in exasperation and nodded. Someone of his importance obviously didn't have the time to spend with them, but he detested gingham dresses and homespun suits cluttering up his outer office. The president, stern-faced with dignity, strutted toward the couple. The lady told him, "We had a son that attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere on campus". The president wasn't touched, he was shocked. "Madam", he said gruffly, "we can't put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery". "Oh, no," the lady explained quickly. "We don't want to erect a statue. We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard". The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at the gingham dress and homespun suit, then exclaimed, "A building! Do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical property at Harvard". For a moment, the lady was silent. The president was pleased. He could get rid of them now. The lady turned to her husband and said quietly, "Is that all it costs to start a university? Why don't we just start our own?" Her husband nodded.

The president's face wilted in confusion and bewilderment. Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California, where they established the University that bears their name, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.

Does it really matter that Morrissey wins awards or not, to his true fans, and Morrissey himself?
When he was nominated for best alternative album at the Grammys in 1992 for "Your Arsenal" and didn't win, it wasn't a surprise then and it's not a surprise now. To borrow from the album Maladjusted, "Nobody Loves Us". And in the end it's more appropriate that way. You are ultimately judged on your fan base and following, and we know where we stand in that regard, and that is not disappointing.

Who cares? I am so glad Moz did not win. Angels best single of the last 25 years? ha ha fucking ha...

....I've just managed 3 minutes of it on ITV, before I coloured my eyeballs in with a black felt tip pen, and shoved an armchair in each ear.....

Dry your eyes mates!!

Hmmm...

So 'Angels' by Robbie Williams was voted the best song in the last 25 years.
In fact, it was that good... it never even reached Number 1 when it was released.

Hmmmm.....

Moz should quite rightly have won -

Best Solo

Best Band

Best Live Act

Best Album

Best Single

Best record in last 25 years

Outstanding Achievment Award

Streets Williams, Geldolph, Keane, Ha Ha Ha

If he'd got that little lot, the awards would have had credibility!!

Jamie Cullum? Does anyone know anyone who;
a) Likes him, and,
b) Has ANYTHING by him?
Farcical.

Lucky he had a change of heart. Who would have thought he and Joss Stone are so interchangable.

These award shows suck! Morrissey should have won that award hands down. At least he got nominated. The Grammys didn't nominate him for anything.

well let's hope we can still get him some nme victories, which he absolutely deserves. and moz-solo too!

Was our lovely Morrissey in attendance at the Brit Awards?

Hi

I am disgusted that after contributing to music for nearly 30 yrs that Morrissey didn't win at the brit awards. The Streets are no where near the quality of morrissey.

Good to see Siouxsie Sioux.

The tribute from The Scissor Sisters to her was deserved.

Other than that- dire. The Streets should go back to ramraiding.

It's really nice to bring the Brit awards up to Morrissey's level but they don't really deserve it.

That Morrissey was never going to win. I don't listen to him much anymore, Urban music and the streets is clearly "where its at" anyone thinking anything different clearly needs their tiny heads examining.

Never mind about Morrissey not winning any Brits - did anyone see Alex Kapranos's obvious Moz tribute, namely his new quiff? Highlight of the evening if you ask me!

Never mind, Morrissey. We still love you.
I'm sure you're not bothered about not winning.

Exactly. It means nothing.
There are so many of these corporate backslapping events, that they've become one big homogenous pile of cack, with the same ubiquitous faces grinning inanely as they clutch their little trophies.
Having said that, don't miss the Radio 2 Folk Awards next week. I'd love to see Morrissey there.
