BRITs 2012: Adele apologises for flipping the finger, ITV apologises for cutting her off

its a shame they didn't pull one of the advert breaks instead as there was way too many

Awards??they look tacky and cheap, who the hell thought that design up?

I thought the sound on all the acts was appalling, or my TV sound system was playing up, but Blurs performance was just dreadful and had to explain to my daughters that Blur used to be a good

why did they not let adele finish then fade out blur,they were #$%$ anyway

Dont blame her one bit why didnt they ley Blur sing one song instead of two, typical Brits SHAMBLES

ITV are #$%$ anyway, their programming is a mix of popular soaps and reality shows where there is little investment and absolutely no quality, cheap trash US style tv SO DONT APOLOGISE I DONT WATCH IT ANYWAY

Well done Adele don`t let it get to you after a terrific night on your part. If ITV want you to appear on any of their shows just tell them to get stuffed !!!

The Brits is just a corporate p*** up where the industry gives it selves a pat on the back!
The money spent is can be offset in this years tax returns!
Nice hy?

Yes - it was a bad decision to cut her off. Why does Blur have to be considered more than anyone else? And yes, she's a very talented singer/songwriter - the best for sometime. But why does she spoil it all with this" I'm more British than anyone" #$%$ After a brilliant year and brillliant albums she just looks so immature and stupid coming out with that. Some "Brits", as we apparently like to call ourselves these days, are becoming worse than the Americans with their hand-on-heart American dream and "mom's apple pie". It seems to me that insecurity is what makes people so jingoistic and inexplainably 'proud' of being born British when it had nothing to do with them. Why all this superiority when the country abroad is seen to be going to the dogs...

No need for her to apologise, I am sure most people understand. Bands have been faded out at the end of programmes before, so why shouldn't Blur have been too. They were giving a poor performance anyway.

When you speak in public you should be more composed. It looks like swearing has become an essential part of the speach. Not to mention the quality of the language itself. All those "you know" and "and I was like... and she was like..." used as fillers hurt my ears. Really, do we have be rude to feel cool?

yep blur was #$%$ anyway

The trophy looks like a kid's toy, terrible design.

Just because it was live doesn't mean they can't make adjustments to a schedule. She would have continued her speech for probably less than a minute. What about live footie - extra time, penalties and the next programme follows later. There is no way she should apologise!

Amazing, the "finger" was NOT for the audience BUT for the black suited guys and yet she flung it to the audience? How can one explain it.

Wow! All the insults about how fat she is... doesn't stop her being a brilliant singer/songwriter does it? She shouldn't have been cut off and James Corden shouldn't have been put in that position... their size has nothing to do with it!

Don't apologise Adele love, the real obscenity was cutting you off so that we had to endure 11 minutes of Blur.

no way would they have cut off football if it had over run

I haven't watched the Brits for years. I won't again. It was safe, polished, vacuous dull shit. Watching Blur clatter through their set was mildly interesting and a stark reminder of how artists nowadays daren't even have a hair out of place in case it offends the public or their record label. Adele had to apologies for showing the finger?! The finger?! Shock, horror, gasp! Look out Johnny Rotton I think punk has a new icon. I wonder what next year will bring? Ed Sheeran snapping his guitar string during a heavy strumming session. The little ginger hooligan.

Do not need to show the f word she can talk to them about it later and that it a shame but it was not Adele's foult
