Speeches, makeovers, success and quiffs: Is Alex Turner still cool?
The icon has become a divisive figure of late
- For - The BRIT Awards Speech WAS COOL: Perhaps the band's most divisive moment in recent months, it was a much needed shake up for the ceremony, which had (in previous years) been dominated by the likes of Mumford and Sons, Ben Howard and Ed Sheeran. Turner stood up for guitar music and rock n' roll during his speech and through the lengths of obtuse metaphors summed up the scene very well. Also many argue that he was joking, which fits in with the history of toungue in cheek Alex Turner speeches. Pretty cool if you think about it.

This week Alex Turnergraces the cover of Esquire magazine, decked out in his trademark style - quiff, suit and all. In the feature he discusses what it is like being the centre of attention and that now infamous BRIT awards speech. What is interesting however is that he professes to being shy, a concept that not many would associate with Turner since his 2011 makeover.
So is he sometimes misunderstood by his detractors and many people at large? When viewed on the context of the divisive BRIT awards speech begs the question: is Alex Turner still cool?
