BRITs 2013- The Winners List

Emile Sande scoops up Best British Album Of 2012 in the most disappointing BRIT awards ceremony yet...
It has to be said that in spite of a few live highlights, last nights' BRITs Awards 2013 ceremony was perhaps the most disappointing ceremony yet. Long gone are the days where up-and-coming acts are discovered or highlighted for their innovation, with hosts of mainstream acts given precedence in an age where mainstream music has already hit an All Time Low (pun fully intended). While acts such as Ben Howard, Adele, Mumford and Coldplay undoubtedly deserved their inclusions and victories, the well-deserved wins was few and far between, and the show's organisers might need to be in serious need of a rethink when all of the relevance of the programme was completely lost to the PS4 event later that evening. Don't worry if you haven't heard of a good deal of these artists- you're not getting old, as I feared at first, you've just got a better taste in music than the vast majority of the British voting public.
