Arctic Monkeys won 2 Brit Awards
The Arctic Monkeys and Take That were the big winners at the Brit Awards. The Sheffield band won the coveted Best British Group award. They also walked away with the Best British Album award for Favourite Worst Nightmare. Take That won Best British Live Act and Best British Single for Shine, voted for by commercial radio listeners and The Sun Bizarre column readers. Gary Barlow described it as “unbelievable”. The biggest night in the music calendar begun with an energetic performance from Mika and the Gossip’s Beth Ditto. The pair opened the show with a medley of hits including his own songs Love Today and Grace Kelly. Rock’s ‘royal couple’ Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne hosted the Earls Court show from their own on-stage “residence”, described as part Addams Family mansion and part Beckingham Palace.
Other winners included Mark Ronson for Best British Male Solo Artist. He is thought to be the first non-singer to have won the award. Best International Male Solo Artist was Kanye West. Australian pop princess Kylie Minogue took the prize for Best International Female Solo Artist. Foo Fighters walked away with the title of Best International Group. They also scooped the Best International Album for Echoes Silence Patience Grace. Kate Nash picked up the award for Best British Female. Adele took the honour of the Critics’ Choice award, which was voted for by a team of experts made up of music critics and heads of music at major radio and TV stations. Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who played Henry VIII in The Tudors, presented the Best Breakthrough Act award to Mika. The singer said: “This is brilliant. Thank you very much.”

That’s great! They rock, especially like “Fluorescent Adolescents”, great video too
.
Houray for them
Arctic Monkeys are dreadful!!! Like a modern Chas And Dave.
Utter garbage!
And how can MArk Ronson win anything? The guy is making money by releasing cover versions!! That’s not talent! He’s making money from someone elses work! What a joke!
The Brits this year were a bit of a con.
Somebody post this pls.

Well, I like the Arctic Monkeys and especially the Foo Fighters, but still I don’t give a flying f… about these awards.
And who the hell is that ugly fatso Adele?
Yeah care factor zero, the sites just struggling for releases i guess so they post about garbage lol
I hate most british movies.
Any American movie NOMINATED for an Oscar would WIN the british awards in that same category…american movies are just that much better.
my comment on 11 also applies to music as well.
The Artic Monkeys are the most overrated band in the UK today. Total crap. Gotta agree with Beefy on this one
yea the artics had their day… move over let some other bands come thru
How does this come under the category “tech news”?????
and ya tell us to relate to the subject! lmao
This will be great coming back n forth to see all the flaming comments this reviewer gets lol.
Really struggling guys huh!! Posting rubbish like this and ” Astronomers predict total lunar eclipse, visible across much of Canada” haha!!
Cause us illegal downloaders give a crap about the moon and arctic monkeys. :-p
Arctic Monkeys are the best band in the world right now. Though who gives a crap about any awards… Next we’ll be getting updates about Pete Doherty.
please give updates of the next nme awards and pete doherty!
ty rlslog
Ringy, I am neither of fan of Arctic Monkeys or Pete Doherty but I have to admit that Pete Doherty has more talent and ability than the Arctic Monkeys will ever have.
Cue anopther debate?? LOL!
I don’t like them, and Mark Ronson annoys me! Where’s the good music at man! I’m happy that Amy Wienerhouse did not win anything, she’s the most annoying biatch on records.
artic munkies suck, they shouldnt have won anything.
Mind you the brit awards suck too
21… that comment and ur name is a bit harsh. Good work Martin, changed the category
How did Amy Winehouse not get an award?
Is this whole thing fixed??
At least it was nice to the Osbournes. They’re always great.
come on guys…
why does everything end up in slanging matches between nations like this? yes the brit awards are viewed by most of us “pile of to55″ brits as total balls – but why this should end up in such a ridiculous and childish state of messaging abuse i’ll never know.
i, like most, don’t hate anyone unless they give me damn good reason to. i have nothing against americans, please don’t give me and others stupid reasons to.
@Al Dubley
What if I was to say that the Brit Awards are just a two bit imitation of the American produced Grammy Awards?
And if I was also to say that, just like everything else the British do, it appears they have put no effort into these awards or their winners?
And if I also said that the Queen of England has now got a rather large ass?
@Aussie Lamer #6,543,231
Just because you people got one of the dryest, most barren pieces of rock on the earth doesn’t mean you should be angry.
Look at it this way, since there are so few people living in Australia with you, that you have plenty of space to do absolutely nothing all day long.
Good luck with the skin cancer that you’ll eventually die from.
@ #28
you taught her?? where did you learn how to suck c0ck?
@Paratrooper
Well, maybe the troops you were fightint next to were second best compared to the troops that kicked your British asses out of America in 1783.
Remeber when the Redcoats went crying back home to the King that they lost the colonies? That was the beginning of the end for your glorious empire.
Now go hide in the tube, the Germans might be coming again.
@ #34
my mum was not part of the discussion. ignorant kunt.
No joke, people saying that the arctic monkeys are pete doherty have no talent is uetter rubbish
next week i shall most prolly be hanging out with both at the NME awards (FOR THE SECOND TIME) as i have VIP & Backstage passes. (dont ask how i got em, very long story haha)
you cannot comment on them being un-talented until youve seen them upfront and personall, its completly different.
ANY american is unable to comment on either aswell, as thye dont havethe british pride we do for our talent at producing the worlds BEST BANDS EVER, dont tell the arctic monkeys to ‘move aside and let someone else have a go’ or w.e was said.
did the beatles just move aside, no, theyruled the world of music, arctic monkeys are the modern beatles and doherty is the modern McCartney (without all the drugs etc. obviously, But talentwise)
and in true britsh rock style the arctic monkeys trashed the brit stage whilst that strangen ferne cotton was interviewing someone haha
i make a goosd point
@Paratrooper
You may have been fighting the Nazis for four years, but you were no closer to beating them after that. We came over and kicked their assess in a little over three years. You can thank us for that anytime you’re ready.
And as far as abandoning the colonies, keep telling yourselves that. Its a lot easier to say that than to admit defeat. Here in the US, we like to say we abandoned Vietnam.
@Tom
“arctic monkeys are the modern beatles and doherty is the modern McCartney (without all the drugs etc. obviously, But talentwise)”
Don’t get ahead of yourself there kid. Let them prove themselves a bit more before you start making statements like these.
For a country full of people with bad teeth, you certainly get angry easily.
@ #38
We have bad teeth because NHS does not pay for dental care. And everyone knows that if our government doesn’t take care of us from cradle to grave, we don’t know how to fend for ourselves.
So going to a dentist on our own and paying out of pocket?? Never!
OMG after reading this comment log I am truly shocked at all the bad vibes flying round here , RSLOG is a truly excellent site , so why on earth is it hijacked as a slagging canvass….please people, have some savvy! American, English, Australian, whatever nationality you are….get the bigger picture……one world
@41
Far less than Keith Richards
GO PAUL McARTNEY!!! and screw heather, that one legged b**ch!
@42
He did!…..that’s the problem!
true true, but she deserves f. all, no judge is going to give her anything, who didn’t/doesn’t love the beatles?!
No one in Britain cares about the Brits. It doesn’t even acknowledge real people or real bands.
Case in point…. WHERE THE F*** WERE RADIOHEAD!!!!! Not even a nomination. If this was about REAL, POPULAR music they would have, you know, had one nomination… but no. Probably did them no favours telling the industry to “go f*** themselves”, what’s a Brit worth anyway? Really?
Arctic Monkies are the worst, most-overhyped band for decades. I hear unknown bands playing to crowds of 50-100 who never got the media coverage these guys did and deserve the success 1000 times over. Utter… wank.
Good to see the Osbourne family (minus one as per always) still selling their souls for all their worth while they can.
@SKA
Which Osbourne was missing? I saw all four of them.
I’d like to know when all these people are going to “supposedly” get banned for going off-topic!!!
How about the mods here put up or shut up!
There have been more news articles this past 48 hours than actual scene related news/posts. WTF?!?!?!?!
@Kevin
They also have only the one son, Jack. But since he lost a lot of weight and cut his hair, he actually looks kinda hot now. He’s short though, so he has a small tool.
@Plasmoronic
Please stop posting off-topic comments or you will be banned.
@49 if there is no scene related news or any noteworthey releases, they have to post something, or otherwise people would just stop coming overnight. it is their site so really, i guess they can post what they like (MR.X porno debacle aside lol!)
i think the osbournes are alright now, apart from ozzy’s perpetual batterdness, i get the impression that they actually function as a family, which is more than you can say for most celebrities. it is also good that jack+kelly seem to have their heads screwed on and have got over their celebrity and have lost those silly american accents they were putting on for ages (not a cuss at americans or the USA or whatever, i am not starting that!)
@Plasmoronic
You do understand that the only way the site can create as revenue is if people view the site, right??
So to get us to view the site, they post anything tat comes up…releases, news, tech stories, etc.
Just read them and stop your whining.
@miles
No problem. I am American and I walk around my house all day speaking in a British accent.
Sometime, just for fun, I’ll say to my wife, “Lets have a wank, mate”, and she never knows what I am talking about.
Breaking News on CNN
SERBIA
i personally break in to german at every opportunity, it always ends up sounding like dirty words
@Sonic
That happened over an hour ago. The embassy fire is already out.
Please, try to pay attention.

arctic monkeys pwn ya ;>
LMAO @ 47 – extra happy
Are you an idiot? Revenue is generated via ADVERTISING!!
Where are the ads? I don’t have any coming up? Do you?
Artic monkeys are pathetic, a group of English Yorkshire sheep shaggers. You can tell there english by how dull the thick sounding the music is.
