brits logoPop music did the predicatable thing at the Brit Awards last night, with Lady Gaga making three trips up to the stage, but then the Brits are more about patting industry winners and safe bets on the back than exposing new musical talent. A slight nod to creativity in the critics’ choice award (which went to vodcoder fan Ellie Goulding and not Laura Marling like it should have) and some of the old guard coming back for a cry and a reminisce. Favourite quote of the evening – Peter Kay introducing Lady Gaga as ‘New York’s answer to Sue Pollard’.barbie gaga
