hey Pip, glad you watched it too..guess wer'e the only ones on here who did!!
anyway...what started the swearing ("bloody bastard" and other words to that effect) were aimed at Vic Reeves (can I just say what an awful lot of odd presenters there were....) and she added they had to hurry up as they were running out of time, the swearing seemed to get worse, poor Kelly looked highly embarressed and the Artic Monkeys were totally drunk to the point of not being able to give any sort of decent thankyou speech (the tv people had to cut it off!! haha) so in the end, it finished in a bit of a mess.Pity as it started so well..the singing by Mika, Rhianna and Kylie and Leona was fun, good special effects ......oh well, the Brits have always been a bit weird and disfunctional and this was no exception

Amy Winehouse sang rather well, but I'm not sure what her stage act was to be honest, she looked like a little girl lost, maybe it's part of the show, I don't know enough about her to say.
I agree about Paul McCartney too, actually I think it was a bit poor timing having him on (as his divorce case is being heard right now) it could almost be seen like a publicity stunt to win the publics favour ( but I don't want to take away the fact he was there to recieve a lifetime achievement award apparantly...however, I think I missed it, coz I never saw it).
None the less, it was a bit more interesting than most Weds night tv viewing.
