Brit Awards 2012

Tuesday saw the Brit Awards ceremony screened live on ITV1 and one story stole the headlines the next day: Adele's reaction to being cut short during her acceptance speech . This article heavily criticises the singer for her less than civil reaction to James Corden's interruption, but I don't think she is wholly to blame. I'm not the biggest fan of the singer, but I think that she deserves her time to express her thanks to her fans and friends. The way in which she reacted on live TV wasn't the ideal way to express her annoyance at this, but I think the greater problem lies with the Brit Awards' organisers. It seemed to be a shambloic, underorganised show - mistimings and missed opportunities. The Critics' Choice award was won by Emile Sande, yet missing was the acceptance speech by the singer. Watching it at home I thought it was odd that we only saw a brief shot of Sande's face before Corden began a lengthy interview with last year's winner, Jessie J, which seemed to be a promotion for Jessie J's new show, The Voice, where she is a judge, sorry not a judge, a mentor. This was cruel to deny Sande her moment in the spotlight and to shine on stage in the glory of winning the award, and it is just downright strange. Hopefully, next year will see a more polished show, where everyone is given the right to collect their awards properly.
