-------------------------------

In general the Brits went as expected, no real shocks. Slightly disappointed that Kelly Clarkson didnt get international female solo artist considering the strength of her current album and her amazing voice.

Well pleased for KT Tunstall, one of the best gigs I went to last year was hers.
