THE BRIT SCHOOL INVASION

The Brit School, has become a phenomenon over the past 10 years. But I have never stopped to think about the real dominance and influence the Brit school has in music history. Over the past 5 years, a number of  exceptionally gifted artists have emerged from this prestigious school, they include X factor winner Leona Lewis, Adele, Jessie J,  the late Amy Winehouse and most recently Rizzle kicks. By far the most successful out of those mentioned is Adele. Since her debut album 19, she has gone from strength to strength, recently winning six Grammys at the Grammy Awards. She has found fame on both sides of the pond and in Europe too.

This surge of talented 20 somethings is down to the Brit School situated in croydon. The alumni is endless, and i would be glad to part of it. My main concern is that these are the musicians that are making the most waves on the British charts. I think we should just forget the Endless number of talent show competitions on TV ( The Voice, starting on 24th march on BBC one, the notorious X factor on ITV, Britains got talent and Must be the music on Sky 1) and select youngsters from Brit school to audition instead. I will not be surprised if a Brit school documentary or reality tv show emerges very soon. I salute them.
