Yorkshire accent = best accent in the world….the end

What I mean is that Alex Turner sings with a Yorkshire dialect and … I dunno, I can’t explain it, it’s just not my cup of tea. It’s also the fact that I can’t understand the amount of praise heaped on them.

“I can’t connect with the Yorkshire accent”

You always understand me :-/ And I’m as Yorkshire as Geoff Boycott. Altough not quite as good at batting.

I will agree about the Arctic Monkeys’ lyrics, they have something there. I think my problem is I can’t connect with the Yorkshire accent being sung. But I don’t have the same problem with Biffy Clyro, maybe because I’m half-Scottish. Maybe I am too old…

The Osbournes were okay. Ozzy looked like he didn’t have a clue what was going on. Usually when people get that confused and demented they get stuck in a home, but I’m sure Sharon will look after him.

They should get Harry Hill to host it next year.

Hosted by The Osbournes (badly, but not badly enough to be good tv)
Whole show was very meh and showed up how bad so many of these acts are at singing live. As to the Arctic Monkeys, you need to see them live and see the tribal thing going on to get them. Plus the lyrics are quality, the guy is an urban poet. See also The Wombats, brilliantly catchy pop tunes with guitars that make you smile (hmm, isn’t that the point of pop music?)

Sorry for the stupid question, but who was the host this year?

Last year it was that muppet, Russell Brand. Should I bother watching on BBC America later this month?

Or was it that forgettable?
