The Brits

Last night the Brit awards were on ITV1 whilst it was being filmed at the O2 arena in London. Loads of performers and artists turned up hoping to win some of the important and well recognised awards. Take That who won the British group award opened the show with their new single and Cee Lo Green who won the award for International solo male artist closed the show with his song "Forget You" who was joined on stage by Paloma Faith who unfortunately did not win the award she was up for which was British Female solo artist. Tinie Temper , Mumford and Sons and Arcade Fire were the main winners on the night. Tinie Temper won the awards for British single and British break through act while Mumford and Sons won the British album of the year and Arcade Fire won International group and International album.


Within the nominees for best international album, was the group that we are using for our music video coursework, Kings of Leon, with their album "Come around Sundown". They were also nominated for best international group but unfortunately lost out on both of the awards to Arcade Fire. It would have been really nice to see Kings of Leon win at least one of their awards, however, Arcade Fire were deserving winners with their album "The Suburbs". The fact that Kings of Leon were nominated for these big awards show that they are well recognised around the world and their music is being appreciated internationally as well as nationally in their own country.
