Brit Awards 2015

Every year there is a talking point at the Brit Awards. In 2015 there was quite a few; from Kanye West's confusing performance to the comeback girl who ended up falling onto the floor.

One of the categories over the last 2 years was chosen by public via Twitter. This meant tweeters could use a relevant hashtag to the nominated artist and the artist with the most votes would win.

It was the 10th most tweeted about thing in 2014 (Feburary 19th). 90% of the other moments were football related events.

This year the vote was even bigger as they doubled the number of votes in the category.

Within the space of 2 hours, 5 million Twitter users jumped onto the individual act hashtags, and 11 million and counting are using #BRITs2015.

There had been a lot of build up to this years Brit Awards as Madonna would be making her comeback Brits performance after 20 years but all did not go according to plan!

As the performance started Madonna made her way up the walkway dressed in a cape. She started to walk up a set of stairs and when she was on top of the podium the cape was meant to be whisked off her by two dancers. I say meant to happen as something more shocking happened. Instead of the cape fly off Madonna, Madonna went flying off as well and landed flat on her back on the stage; (See Below..)

Here is the clip you have all been waiting for:

This clip has had just under 3 million views on YouTube which will help boost the profile of the singer as well as the award ceremony.

After the ceremony Madonna took to twitter and tweeted:

"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"

This shows that people are interacting with the event whilst its on and weeks after it people are still talking about it.
