Brits 2010 – how did I do?

Back in January, I had a stab at predicting who was going win the Brits… here’s how I did…

• British Female Solo Artiste : Matt – Florence and the Machine / Winner – Lily Allen
• British Male Solo Artiste : Matt – Dizzee Rascal / Winner – Dizzee Rascal
• British Breakthrough Act : Matt – Friendly Fires / Winner – JLS
• British Group : Matt – Kasabian / Winner – Kasabian
• British Album : Florence and the Machine – Lungs / Winner – Florence and the Machine – Lungs
• British Single : Matt – La Roux – In for the kill / Winner – JLS – Beat Again
• Critics Choice : Matt – Ellie Goulding / Winner – Ellie Goulding
• Brits Album of 30 years : Matt – Oasis – What’s the story morning glory? / Winner – Oasis – What’s the story morning glory?
• Brits Hits 30 : Matt – Paul McCartney – Live and Let Die / Winner – Spice Girls – Wannabe/Who do you think you are? (seriously – just for that dress)
• International Female : Matt – Rihanna / Winner – Lady Gaga
• International Male : Matt – Jay-Z / Winner – Jay-Z
• International Album : Matt – Jay-Z – The Blueprint 3 / Winner – Lady Gaga – The Fame
• International Breakthrough : Matt – Lady Gaga / Winner – Lady Gaga

So 7 out of 13 this year, just over 50% if you ‘do’ maths, not bad at all…I’m surprised that Lady Gaga won both International Female AND International Breakthrough, and you also can’t vouch for the taste of the British Public in letting JLS win the Best Single.

The show was quite good, Liam Gallagher was an idiot, and ITV’s coverage was bordering on the farce with the sound being dropped every time someone said a rude word, but Peter Kay was funny, Kasabian were great (even if my wife loves the gutarist a little bit) and Florence+Dizzee was a match made in heaven.

What did you think of the Brits?
