The BRIT Award Winners For 2010 Are Announced In London
Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 4:43 pm
Glam pop artist Lady Gaga dominated the 30th BRITs, winning a trio of awards at the British pop music industry’s flagship ceremony, the first international act to do so for five years.
Gaga, dressed in a ghostly carnival headdress and skimpy lace outfit, picked up awards for International Female Solo Artist, International Breakthrough Act and Best International Album for “The Fame”, winning every category in which she was nominated. The singer, on top of the British music charts for most of the last 12 months, dedicated an eerie live performance to fashion designer Alexander McQueen, who died last week. Thank you so much for believing in me, she told her fans. British boy band JLS, who finished second in TV talent show “The X Factor” in 2008, polished off a year of number one singles and a top-selling album with two awards, best British group and best British single for “Beat Again”. Lily Allen was crowned best British female artist and Dizzee Rascal was named best British male, capping his successful transition from rapper to bona fide pop star. The event, which has been criticised for failing to recognise artists beyond the major labels, brings together hordes of record company executives, artists and hangers-on to celebrate the previous year’s successes at London’s Earls Court. Florence and the Machine grabbed the best album award for “Lungs” and former Take That member Robbie Williams, who went on to success as a solo artist, received an Outstanding Contribution to Music award.
