Duffy Duffy Duffy. I really don't like your songs. Seriously. And I honestly think that you winning 3 awards is going to drive Estelle and Adele up the wall! You caused enough arguments last time you won something. Just stop singing so damn much! You actually sound like a 5 year old child when you sing and it's quite scary. Saying this, no one can complain for her winning what she has won. These awards are apparently voted for by the general public, which would therefore mean that the big bosses at the Brits have NOTHING to do with the final result..YA THINK????!!! .

Below, is a video of the most fantastic PSB (Pet Shop Boys that is!). They performed a medley of some rather fantastic tunes and were joined by the upcoming sensation the is Lady Gaga and by the kind of good looking Brandon Flower (what a surname!). Saying this, I have no idea why there were there! They sang the same 4 words, 3 times and that was it :-/. But anyway an outstanding performance from PSB (who incidentally, have had 39 top 30 singles, 22 top ten hits in the UK, oh and4 number ones) and a well deserved award.

How strange!! My taxi stopped at Earl's Court for 10 minutes to wait for *no one* at 1.20am. People were still coming out.

As for the winners - what a bunch of boring c**ts.

And since when did you like the Pet Shop Boys?

Yeah people will probably be coming out tomorrow afternoon still! And why were you in Earl's Court coming from where you come from to your house? Isn't that one LOOONG route?.

It was THE worst Brits I've seen in a looooong time! I mean who the hell is ELBOW?!.

I never used to like PSB (as you know) but I heard it soo much at places that I actually downloaded some tracks and I actually like them. Oh and mum loves them too lol
