#BritAwards: your reviews of the Brits 2013 in 140 characters

 

Aside from a lot of teenage girls tweeting #onedirectionarewinners there was talk of Emilie Sandé's strange accent, people annoyed with those tweeting 'who is Ben Howard?' and a general feeling that the awards played it too safe this year.

@PatrickStrud

The only way to save this would be to get Grace Jones on with a hula hoop. #Brits2013

@caitlinmoran

This is, officially, A Cultural Lull #brits2013

@HylandIan

Dear ITV, any chance we can just go straight to News At Ten now?#BRITs2013 #brits

@stefanohat

I'm not a #OneDirection hater, but that was truly gobsmackingly dreadful sacrilege #onewayoranother #brits2013 and poor#Undertones too

@GarethMalone

#corden I think A-Levels are VERY important. Just saying

@HylandIan

On tonight's evidence James Corden will soon be appearing in “One Man, Two Jokes” on Broadway #brits

‏@mistermistry

Somewhere down south, a provincial branch of Wetherspoons is missing its “banter” tonight #corden #BRITsAwards2013

‏@liamwaterloo

And Harry Styles watched Robbie Williams thinking, “Oh God. This is going to be me, isn't it? Oh God.” #BRITs2013

‏@TweetsByAsh

It's like that uncle that always takes to the dancefloor at a wedding#daddancing #robbie #BRITs2013

‏@Yeloop

*Checks watch* Well Twitter, I make that an hour before the Emilie Sande jokes start.

@enzo201

Our next award is a special one...it's the Emili Sande Award for most overrated Artist of the Year.

‏@boyofletch

Ben Howard - like Ed Sheeran, pleasant but not by any means awe inspiring. #brits2013

@thomascoddldn

Feel like I'm cheating on becks how much I'm loving JT #jt #BRIT2013

@_Paddy_White_

Making jokes out of Frank's sexuality in 2013. The joke, seriously, is on you. #brits2013

‏@JosephStash

Yeah, Bryan Ferry's still cooler than everyone at the Brits.#BRITs2013

Grumpy Cat ‏@ItsTheGrumpyCat

Friendly reminder that Adele and Taylor Swift are the same age yet one of them has a child and another is mentally stuck in middle school.

@LiamPayneRocks

it must be awkward for taylor swift to have to perform in front of her 83503 exes

‏@gemmaoaten

that's a table and table cloth she's wearing right? And the top symbolizes the paper or lace napkins? I'm confused... #brits2013#taylor
