Very sad - over 2000 views for this and the other Brits thread combined but so few actual posts whether agreeing, disagreeing or making comments - constructive or otherwise.
I see the Record of the Day site has less than half a dozen posts on it; and the Velvet Rope has only two - one of which was me!
This gradual process started after I began the Tip Sheet in the mid 90s; I noticed that fewer tipsters were genuinely enthusiastic about music other than their specific projects. I decided that, as most of us grow older, we let the practicalities of families and career take over and lose love of music. Then of course we get older and don't connect any more. Plan B is rather good though and Adele Moyet - oops - was good too. |

You could of gotten Jarvis to do a Michael Jackson tribute! Take it full circle.
"Beat It" perhaps. |

David Joseph nice enough guy but dull and uninspired like the rest of the music industry.
I'd have involved iTunes, You Tube and Spotify. I'd have had live concerts like I did with the Great British Music Weekend. I'd have got Simon Cowell and Glee and other musical successes involved. I'd have had a contest for home interpretations of last year's hits, mimed as well as live. I'd have had drag queens trying to look like GaGa....
but then I do have imagination and enthusiasm; two qualities sadly missing in today's companies. |

The viewing figures must be very disappointing to David Joseph. I thought he delivered an interesting new show. I still think James Corden was a good choice of compare - much better than the “safe pair of hands” years 10 or so years ago. I thought it was good having Take That as the opening act. I thought that it was a wrong idea to drop “Lifetime Achievement”. A big established name would surely add viewers, and what’s wrong mixing old and new? With Roxy Music touring at the moment, I think not getting them involved was missing a trick.
But, I enjoyed the show, the venue, and the occasion. |

Oh well; mere X Factor sized figures then. It felt far more! |
