Last week Madonna took a
tumble at the BRITS whilst performing her latest single ‘Living for Love.’
At Luxe Models we believe that this actually saved the biggest night in British
music; here’s why.
There’s only one reason we care about the BRITS
Back in the 80’s, 90’s and even
the 00’s there was only one reason we cleared our schedules so we could watch
the BRIT Awards every time it rolled around.
It wasn’t to see who won the
awards. We don’t really care about finding out who the music industry thinks
deserves pat on the back. It wasn’t for the thank you speeches. We’d rather
watch paint dry than waste more valuable time out of our lives listening to some
tearful pop starlet thank “mum, god and all my fans for this award.” No, we
tuned in like clockwork every year to see what would go wrong.
We can’t wait to see what’ll go wrong
The BRIT awards were once notorious
as the one award show where something was bound to go wrong at some point. The
BRITS have spawned some of the most iconic moments in music history; and we’re
not talking about the performances.
Case in point. Michael Jackson
and Jarvis Cocker. The Pulp frontman chose to run across the stage, lift his
shirt and point his behind in Jackson’s direction whilst the latter was
performing ‘Earth Song’ at the 1996 BRIT Awards. Bloody hilarious! The BRITS
used to be chock full of these moments and they’re what made the show great.

Madonna saves the BRIT Awards!
Until recently. The last few
years have seen a distinct lack of accidents, random acts of rebellion and
occasional drunken incidents. Performers have actually started toeing the line
at the ceremony that was once famous for its ability to provide a juicy tabloid
headline like clockwork every year.
And we switched off. We didn’t
care about the BRIT Awards anymore. Until last week. Last week Madonna fell off
some steps as she tripped over her cape (!) whilst performing her latest single
‘Living for Love.’ Suddenly we cared again. So did everyone else. According to Digital
Spy it was all over Twitter.
We rest our case
In other words Madonna got people
talking about the BRIT Awards again. Her massive screw up reminded us that the
BRITS are a treasured institution because
something is bound to go wrong, not in spite of it. If this doesn’t prove that
her epic tumble saved the biggest night in UK music, nothing does!
