Last Wednesday saw Adele at the Brits, being cut off from her acceptance speech by host James Cordon, so Blur could perform. Adele's reaction to this was to stick her finger up (to the suits) as she was rushed off stage.
Next thing you know, there's Tweets flying everywhere. Amongst many others, Lily Allen, Jamie Oliver, and Philip Schofield, attacked the Brit Awards as 'bad' and 'disgusting', after Adele was cut short to make way for Blur's closing set. This being the majority of reaction, however some people thought Adele was being rude and inappropriate.
Daily Mail believed “It was enough to leave the most powerful men in the music business choking on their cannon of lamb, and spitting out their swigs of the finest Cotes de Rhone.” No it wasn't. It didn't do that at all. Adele didn't do it to make a statement that she could get away with it, or to cause a stir. She simply just reacted to the bosses for rushing her off stage.
So called 'comedian' Frankie Boyle had then laid into host James Corden saying “Corden must regret the Brits. By cutting off Adele he looked like a fat, tactless moron. Who needs publicity like that? Well, Matthew Horne.” Boyle you should be done with comedy, clearly.
Yes Adele won an award and deserves time to give a speech of acceptance. I get that. But lets get this straight. It was done so Blur could perform. Blur, who won the Outstanding Contribution to Music Award. The Brits had set aside time for Blur’s finale, in honour of the band’s Outstanding Contribution to Music award. Maybe they shouldn't have won that award if people can't see it this way.
