Honestly, all of those nominees are brilliant and I can't really question the quality of any unlike The Grammys.

Supposedly Madonna is performing on the show, for the first time in 20 years.

Brit Awards 2015 team up with Google Play for official downloadsBy Lewis Corner Thursday, Feb 12 2015, 10:19 GMT 4Shares The Brit Awards 2015 have announced a new partnership with Google Play. The Google music service will serve as the official partner to this year's ceremony, allowing fans to download and stream performances from the night. Viewers will be able to purchase audio performances from the Brit Awards 2015 on Google Play shortly after the show finishes on February 25. What's more, Google Play Music will share the official media partner status of the Single of the Year Award with Capital FM. "We're delighted that the Brit Awards are partnering with Google Play to offer fans the chance to download or stream unique Brits performances while raising money for War Child and our music education charity The Brit Trust," said Geoff Taylor, Chief Executive BPI and Brit Awards Limited. Ant & Dec with 2015 Brit Award "We want music fans to be able to experience the Brits across every digital channel, and this partnership is an important pillar of that strategy." The new partnership replaces iTunes' previous deal with the Brit Awards, where the audio of live performances were exclusively available to purchase from the Apple-owned store. The Brit Awards 2015 will take place at London's O2 Arena on February 25, and will be hosted by Ant & Dec. Madonna, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Paloma Faith, Royal Blood, George Ezra and Take That will perform at the ceremony.

Rihanna Will Perform At The BRIT Awards, Says London Drum CompanyRihanna will perform at the 2015 BRIT Awards — at least, according to London Drum Company. The retailer posted a photo of just-inked contracts, including one for the pop superstar prepped on February 20. “Busy week for our hire dept.. Check out our @pearldrumseuro #referenceseries kit at the @britawards with @rihanna,” London Drum Company says. Rihanna Stuns In 'W Korea''s 10th Anniversary Issue Rihanna has been rumored for several weeks now to be performing at the BRIT Awards. Initially, a source told The Daily Star that producers wanted her to perform “FourFiveSeconds” with Kanye West and Paul McCartney, though conflicting schedules made that unlikely. The awards show has yet to confirm or deny these reports. Now, fans are speculating that Rihanna will debut a new song instead. After all, “FourFiveSeconds” doesn’t feature any drums. Paloma Faith, George Ezra and Royal Blood are already set to perform at the 2015 BRIT Awards, while Madonna is also rumored to take the stage. The awards show kicks off February 25, 8 p.m. GMT, at London’s O2 Arena. www.idolator.com/7582119/rihanna-brit-awards-2015

As posted by areyoureadytojump, and from HITS:
THE BRITS FULL PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE ...Including One Last-Minute Change
Here’s the order of performances on the BRIT Awards tonight at London’s O2 Arena, along with scheduled times:
8:03 - Taylor Swift
8:22 - Sam Smith
8:38 - Royal Blood
8:53 - Ed Sheeran
9:09 - Kanye West
9:25 - Take That
9:38 - George Ezra
9:51 - Paloma Faith
10:09 - Madonna
Kanye replaces originally scheduled performer Rihanna, who reportedly was a no-show at rehearsals and pulled out at the last minute.
"Everything was prepared for Rihanna's performance but she was a no-show," a source told The Sun. "The organizers are furious as she was one of the biggest coups."
West is expected to perform a new song in front of a battalion of musicians and a team of dancers.

The ceremony was kinda hit and miss. I liked Ed Sheeran, Paloma Faith and Royal Blood's performances the most.
Taylor's looked like a C level Madonna tribute, Madonna's was a C level tribute to herself (that routine does not translate well to live TV at all). Kanye's performance was cool, but the track itself sounded like an experiment for Twisted Fantasy that would have been left on the floor. Sam and George were both on the boring side.

Armani hooked me up! My beautiful cape was tied too tight! But nothing can stop me and love really lifted me up! Thanks for your good wishes! I'm fine! #livingforlove - Madonna

The Madonna performance was no worse than the Grammys, even with the fall heard round the world. The coreography from the video doesn't translate well to the stage

Madonna's performance even with the fall was better than the rest of the awards telecast. The show was a nightmare overall.
