it's had its world premiere here in berlin. and our is after all is the cover girl of major fashion magazines at the age of $98.00. then known as the british grammys but choose the knightsbridge awards in london almost all the grammys for celebrities this year although most of the awards offer british musicians american artists turned up in force as well including the artist of the moment billy eilish let's have a look at some of the winners and some of the great performances starting with the one everybody was waiting for. billie eilish graced the brit awards with her 1st live performance of a new james bond song accompanied by composer hans zimmer and a full orchestra. be 18 year old was later named best international female artist thanks i felt very

hated recently and when i was on the states and i saw you guys all smiling. i buy. it in you they made me want to cry and i want to cry right now. i'd stop this newcomer louis cataldie tops the winners of the night scooping up the award for best new artist and the award for song of the year for someone you want but. ali is getting close to the. rapper dave also won big with his album psychodrama taking home album of the year the london artist took full advantage of the spotlight adding new lyrics to his song black to take a swipe at british prime minister boris johnson is racist webre annoyed he was

racist the chief result prime minister is a rude racist they say you should be pretty good at least racist. fellow rapper storm's ear was named best british male artist leaving him almost speechless. but his performance with the gospel choir fireworks and indoor rain made up for that. a bit. of a. call me david leavitt's. joins me now for more now the brits are being quite political to greece is no exception it was the rafa day who had something to say i think a lot of people's ears perked up when this 21 year old got on the stage and was rapping that prime minister boris johnson is a racist now the press office the downing street has it will not be responding to these new lyrics which in itself is kind of

a response those weren't the only new lyrics to the song they've also called for compensation for black britons whose ancestors were enslaved he also called for better assistance for survivors of the grand fellow tower fire very outspoken performance by this 21 year old davis definitely want to watch ok now there was an emotional speech as was an emotional song from billie irish away she said she had recently been feeling that people hate i mean clearly she's one of the most popular singers in the world so what does she mean well it seems that she was talking about social media comments about her and just before her performance she told an interviewer that she's going to stop reading what people write about her on social media which is an experience that is not just shared by famous people a lot of people in her age group of experienced cyber bullying now beside that it's very emotional speech that we see here of course her performance of this new james bond song really blew everyone away it does sound distinctly james bond but she

brings her own vocal style to it and of course the green hair yes she was extraordinary to say as an 18 year old seeing a ballad like that is quite something but there's apart from that has been a lot of talk about how male dominated again it was absolutely the best album category had only male nominees same thing for best song and yet it was really the female performances that stole the night billie eilish mabel won for best female solo artist british national safety muscle artist and then of course there was no her performance. she was also nominated for best international female last ability i was but she left her mark very quickly we just tossed about the guy who got most of them want to be any person louis capacity where he come from well seemingly out of nowhere a little bit like ed sheeran a few years ago like ed sheeran he sings this very savvy song very un kemp sort of appearance he also delivered the most awkward acceptance speech of the night
