Brits 25

They may not be the most glamourous band in the world, but their album is certainly worth praise and the public agreed as Keane picked up the coveted Best British Album award at The Brits, one of two awards. Only big winners were The Scissor Sisters, who opened the show with a cracking performance supported by colourful Henson creations, the much (over-much if you ask me) hyped Franz Ferdinand, who gave the least convincing live performance of the night, and the lovely Joss Stone who wore one of the nicest skirts I've ever seen! The show marked the return of Chris Evan's to British telly, and yeah - he was OK... better than the hell days of Sam Fox and Mick Fleetwood it is a glamourous affair to be sure, but a little soulless for my taste; dry and too commercial (sponsored by Mastercard). Best performance of the night? Green Day - oh, but they're not British. Och, well... Kx
