They Call Me Grace...That's Not My Name

Gosh, what an absolute snooze-fest last night's BRITS Awards was. With the exception of Take That and dare I say it - Girls Aloud, the show was totally lacklustre in my opinion. I was really looking forward to Estelle's duet with the Ting Tings, as I love both artists'. But for me, the pairing just didn't work. I don't know if it was lack of rehearsal time, but there was zero onstage chemistry and musically their respective sounds clashed big time.

Ms Swaray definitely channelled her inner Grace Jones last night. I know a lot of people aren't feeling her futuristic get up, but I applaud anyone who is willing to be a bit daring, and take a few style risks. In case you missed it, check out the performance below. 

New Sugarbabes video - 'Girls'

'Girls' is the latest single taken from the Sugarbabe's sixth studio album 'Catfights and Spotlights'. You may recognise the track from the Boots ads which ran last Christmas.  I'm really starting to adore this group. They are definitely at the cooler end of the spectrum in terms of Brit pop girl bands. I love the fact that they can all actually sing (shock, gasp) but yet they don't seem overly concerned about being papped at the hottest club, restaurant or bar. This greatly contrats with the overrated, minimally talented - Girls Aloud, who tend to hog most of the limelight. Maybe the Sugar ladies need to bag themselves a Premiership footballer, or starve themselves to oblivion to get a bit more attention. Yes indeedy, the entertainment biz is in a sad state of affairs right now.

Oh, and as a side-note,  if you haven't checked out the remix of Taio Cruz's 'Like A Star' featuring Busta Rhymes and the Sugarbabes, then try to do so. It's so refreshing to hear their soulful vocals over an R&B track.
