Wet Lettuce, someone say it again. Never gets old!

I'm not bothered by Sam Smith's antics but its not shocking, this is what pop stars or as they like to be called, 'artists' do. They start out, have some hits, then when the hits slow down they reinvent and become sexy & extreme! Even though it's never actually sexy. Just what the tabloids would deem pervy. Its so lazy. Oh my god!!!! A PVC waistcoat!!!!! A studded collar!!!! Why are they trying to sell pop singles to niche sections of fabswingers?

Mo Gilligan, another stand up comedian that is just about getting away with having no jokes by way of confidence and bluster. Imagine having an act instead of things Will Smith said 30 years ago?

Also, shout out to David Guetta's big inflatable face! You old mate, deal with it!
 
didn’t realise there was a thread!
I thought the show was terrible. Mo was a no if I’m being honest. He just kept asking people if they were enjoying but then the next question would be the same thing but worded differently. I can’t say I’m a Jack Whitehall fan but at least he had some fun about him. Mo presented like he was talking to children at a primary school and didn’t know what to say “you enjoying school yeah? What’s your favourite part of school? Have you been doing maths this morning?”

also, I may be wrong here but I feel like these shows used to be more high end and elite than this. I remember watching it as a kid and thinking omg this is so glam and the performances were always amazing. Over recent years it feels like the standard has dropped. Even the presenters for the awards were tit.

not saying this is the case here, but you can get a songwriting “credit” for literally suggesting or changing one word so wouldn’t read too much into it. most songs with a list of multiple writers have one person who maybe contributed a line. beyonce tried to get a credit on ave maria by the same method!

Of course this is absolutely true. Even an ad lib like “oh-woah” can get you a writing credit. But why is it less believable for Harry Styles to write his own songs than it is for say Miley Cyrus or Bruno Mars, who also have multiple people listed on their writing credits?

oh no apologies! my post wasn’t commenting on harry directly, just giving more clarity on how writing credits in general work. i mean (to go back to beyonce) her then six year old daughter has a writing credit on one of her songs and is technically a grammy winner because of it 🤣 harry and his songwriting team work much the same as anyone else in the industry, solo songwriters are probably more rare at this point.

Honestly no offence at all taken. It was just a general wondering from me. 😊 What you said was so spot on and also, when you say that solo songwriters are so rare nowadays, is also spot on.
 
Just watched the awards.

a lot of acts should have won, who didn’t. It was the Harry styles show this year. Although you have to think about the demographic who (have time) to be voting, because I know I didn’t so I can’t really complain 😂 but teenage me did.

wet leg pissed me off loads sick of their faces and I hadn’t heard of them before today.

I need to know what Kid Harpoon said about Maya and Stormzy is 72 years old after the cut although I don’t agree with the tweets saying that he was fetishising a black couple, I think it’s to do with the fact of how attractive of a couple they were but it’s also really weird because neither of them are “sex symbols”

I actually didn’t mind sam smith’s performance so wtf 🙆🏽‍♀️🙈

Beyoncé doesn’t write it produce any of her music…. She just forces the writers to give her the biggest percentage for her taking the song in the first place. Diane Warren was NOT down for this, it’s the only song on 4 that Beyoncé didn’t write. She also has ghost writers who are legit stars them selves and she pays them off to remove them from the song credits completely.

The Carters are a dodgy but very very very power couple that’s for sure!
