Mute and Tumble- Brit Awards 2015



Mute and tumble- Brit Awards 2015

Now, to be 100% honest, I didn't actually watch the first half of the Brits, so I'm not really in place to comment on anything that happened before Taylor Swift won the award for "Best international female" well...except for Kanye, or, as he likes to be refered to as, "God".

I'm not sure Kanye really knows that much about the UK, if I'm honest, because if he did, he would have definitely cut back on his use of the N word, as well as "Motherf*ucking". I've seen/heard people say Kanye's performance was "genius" and "amazing" however I don't think they were watching the same programme as you and me, as anyone who can call 100+ people moving in an attempt of dancing, whilst almost scorching themselves with a giant, unnecessary, flamethrower surrounding one fool as he utters swear words with little, if no sense of rhythm and/or timing has got to be deeply, mentally scarred. Apparently, the Sound engineers and producers thought so too, as they muted the majority of his performance. Of course it was the "Famous Person" Kim Kardashian up on stage to introduce her "lovely" husband..


Aside from the point, "Kardashian" automatically comes up on my word suggestions, when the only times I've ever searched that name is "Is Kim Kardashian's bum real?" And "Kardashian crying faces".


Really Android?


Moving away from that, this article can not be complete without a mention of Madonna's stage fall. For those of you who, like Patrick Star, have been living under a rock, Madonna, after a 20 year break from performing at the Brits, returned to the stage, to preform "Living for love". For whatever reason, she thought it would be a good idea to bring her bedsheets with her, resulting in a long cape behind as she walked to the stage, and up a flight of about 7 stairs. Whilst singing, she was meant to untie the cloak from around her neck, although, for whatever reason could not untie it, forcing the dancer to pull her, still with the cape on, back down the stage. I for one, along with my Mum could not stop laughing at the embarrassment and horror Madonna:


A) Must be feeling straight after falling and realising she looked like a wally.


B) Will be feeling after checking social media, and talking to interviewers backstage, afterwards ext..


C) Will be feeling at any family or social gathering, when the quiet one in the corner looks for something to say to strike up a conversation and picks "Hey, Madonna, remember when you fell on stage at the Brits?"

I mean, surely you'd have some kind of signal, to tell the dancer when To yank the cape off rather than leaving the poor soul to guess..

Anyway, Madonna got up shortly after falling, no thanks to the dancers, who just stood, and waited for the 50 something year old to pick herself up, and carried on with an amazing comeback preformance.


What have we learnt from the Brits? Do your research on the UK, just generally avoid the N word, and DON'T bring your bed sheets to work.
