It was presented by 2 annoying twunts, what were the Beeb thinking ? The audience were cheering whenever a name was mentioned.
JK2006	Sadly I think the low viewing figures reflect the general apathy towards music; which I blame entirely on the executives in charge who managed to kill off love for music over the years - destroying Top of the Pops by hyping label priorities and killing the chart; not latching onto online; letting Napster explode; allowing retail to implode and the rest of their insanity. Even more sadly many of the ideas were mine, then adapted wrongly by others. But the show was still terrific - thanks BBC - it's time the BPI woke up and earned their cash.

dixie	I used to be a big fan of Rod Stewart. Met him a few times over the years during the Rob Dickens/WEA era. Went right off him during the American Songbook stuff, but have enjoyed his more recent output. (Though it doesn't compare to the Warner releases). But live, he's still a professional showman, and yesterday BBC Music Awards performance was both fantastic at the event (which I was fortunate to experience) and came across well on TV. A great way to close a show. The mix of performers should have given BBC a decent level of viewers. Well done BBC. I for one think you did a great job.
K	Saw it in the listings and planned to watch a film. It came on, we watched a bit, then a bit more and before we knew it a whole 2 hours had passed and we'd watched the lot.. really enjoyed it.. all of it! Much prefer Years & Years 2nd song Shine. Hozier song is awesome but I feel he's a one hit wonder, same goes for James Bay. There were some terrible puns and sketches, the one with Greg James being injured the whole time was cringe-worthy, they should re-think those. All acts sounded great, didn't think Jess Glynne was that good on X-Factor but was last night, I think there was a fair bit of miming/ghosting going on but it didn't detract from it IMO.
