The Brit Awards Will Make You Care About Duffy One Way Or The Other
Welsh Lulu-in-training Duffy was the big winner at the Brit Awards, scooping up trophies for British Female Solo Artist, British Breakthrough Act, and British Album (where Rockferry beat out the Coldplay album and Radiohead’s In Rainbows). Kings Of Leon also came up big, winning both International Group and International Album. (Never let it be said that the term “UKraziness” was not an apt one when it came to the country’s relationship with popular music.) Full list of winners after the jump! MORE »
If you happened to tune into the Brit Awards last night and noticed that noted mumbly motormouth Ozzy Osbourne seemed a tad muted, it may have been because he beaned himself not once but two times before the broadcast? “Ozzy gave himself a real fright. MORE »

The big winners at tonight’s Brit Awards: the Arctic Monkeys (Best British Group, Best British Album), Take That (pictured; Best Live Act, Best British Single), and the Foo Fighters (Best International Group, Best International Album). Also, Amy Winehouse performed twice, although her collaboration with Mark Ronson lost in the Best British Single competition to, yes, Take That. Boy bands will never die!

Rihanna’s Handlers Still Trying To Turn “Umbrella” Into The Ultimate Mash-Up Fodder
Tonight’s Brit Awards didn’t just serve as the latest stop on Amy Winehouse’s during-rehab Rehab Tour: the ceremony also had a segment where Rihanna interpolated “Umbrella” with the Klaxons’ “Golden Skans,” the latest incidence of her formerly ubiquitous hit being smooshed together with a song from a different genre/era.

I’m unsure, although I should note that said uneasiness didn’t really hit me until “Golden Skans”‘ “ooh-ooh-oohs” kicked in–and I’m pretty sure Ri-Ri’s somewhat challenged enunciation didn’t help my overall perception much. For comparison’s sake, the version Rihanna performed with the Time last week at the Grammys is after the jump. MORE »
What we’re currently missing at this evening’s Brit Awards thanks to the almost-up-to-the-minute magic of the Guardian’s (snoozy) liveblog: “20.10: Despite actually showing up this year, and doing so in fancy dress, Take That just won Best Live Act over the Arctic Monkeys.” Ah, sweet justice.

Perhaps realizing that a nu-rave version of “Umbrella” and the Osbournes serving as hosts wouldn’t give their 2008 show that much-needed ratings boost from rubberneckers, the people behind tomorrow night’s Brit Awards have announced that Amy Winehouse will perform with Mark Ronson on the broadcast.
