The Lala Report xx

Big winner of the night Lady Gaga

One of the major music award shows of the year started last night, The Brit Awards 2010.  The Brits were celebrating their 30th anniversary and had invited major players in the industry to perform and collect awards.  Performances on the night were JLS (congrats to the boys for scoping two awards), Dizzee Rascal (yeah, finally you won something) Jay-Z and Alicia Keys (Jigga had to win, otherwise there was no way he would have shown up lol) and Lady Gaga (won THREE awards, RA RA RA GA GA GA!)

I enjoyed the show apart from Robbie Williams performance, he just reminds me of an average Englishman singing at a pub or a football match.

Big shout out to Dizzee, finally a black face is recognised as doing great music, as opposed to just being yet another "Urban" artist.  I still have not forgiven The Britsfor coming up with that category and throwing every black artist in there, irrespective of what genre of music they do, OUT OF ORDER!

The "To Be Expected" moment came from Cheryl Cole.  Everyone on Twitter was dissing her as she mimed through her mediocre performance.  But as I have said many times before "THE GIRL CANT SING" what were you expecting, DAMN! lol  As the star of her performance, she should NEVER wear exactly the same as her nack up dancers.  Any stylist worth their salt knows that one.

Lady Gaga, you are a creative force that can't be messed with.  Well don on your win, fully deserved.  The Fame is an AMAZING LP.

Alicia Keys, WHO KNEW YOU HAD SUCH GREAT LEGS!  You need to get them out more!

Peter Kaye to present again. Genius lines like "JLS are the black version of Bucksfizz" calling which ever one of the Gallagher brothers an ****head and calling Jay-Z "Jason" had me on the floor, haaaa!

Someone tell Geri Halliwell to SHUT UP!

Mel B, your body is BANGIN!!  Whats your secret??

Check out who rocked the stage on the night.
