Brits 08: The Good, the Bad and the Bizarre
Published Thursday, Feb 21 2008, 10:51 GMT | By Nick Levine | 15 comments
Nobody threw water over a cabinet minister, nobody invaded the stage when the King of Pop was performing and nobody tried to start a fight with Liam Gallagher. The lack of incident notwithstanding, this year's Brits weren't a complete washout. Here's our recap of the evening's most noteworthy events.
The Good
Kylie and the Power Rangers' dazzling performance of 'Wow'
The Mark Ronson medley, which served as a handy précis of his Version album
Take That being recognised for their sterling live performances over the last year
Adele sloping off stage, Brit in hand, as if she was off to the pub
The Bad
Mika and Beth Ditto's clumsy, awkward mash-up of 'Love Today' and 'Standing In The Way of Control'
Poor old Leona Lewis, who became this year's Craig David after failing to win any of the four awards for which she was nominated
Dave Grohl's patronising, desperately unfunny acceptance speech
Fearne Cotton's "backstage" "interview" "technique"
The Bizarre
That Rihanna/Klaxons collaboration, which worked better on paper than it did onstage
Sharon Osbourne: was she nervous, half-cut or a bit of both?
Amy Winehouse's determination to flash her unmentionables during 'Love Is A Losing Game'
The Knights of the Realm contingent: lovely as it was to see them, who invited Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber?
