Brit Awards 2012



Things really kicked off at the o2 this evening! The lovely James Corden did a fantastic job of presenting the BRITS tonight, and the new BRIT awards designed by the one and only Peter Blake who looked extremely cool too!

Here is how tonights awards went on...

British female solo artist - Adele (of course)




International male - Bruno Mars




Critics choice awards - Emile Sande








British Single - One direction, this was their first BRIT award, they were put together by the Xfactor judges after auditioning as solo artists and they eventually came 3rd in the competition. They bagged this award for their single 'Beautiful'




International Female - Rihanna who has won this award two years in a row




British male solo artist - Ed sheeran (Sporting a shirt and tie which makes a rather nice change from his hoodies and jeans!)




British group voted for at Radio 2 - Coldplay which is the third time they have walked 
away with this award with one in 2001 and the other in 2003 making this their 7th BRIT award




Best International Group - Foo Fighters




Best British breakthrough act - Ed Sheeran




Best international breakthrough artist - Lana Del Ray




Outstanding contribution to music award goes to none other than the legendary Blur! Sharing the title with David Bowie and The Beatles amongst others it comes as no surprise seeing as they have been in the music industry for 21 years. Their first appearance on the BRITS was back in 1995 and they have bagged 5 BRITS in total, they dedicated their award to Chris Morrison who made Blur the band they are today.




George Micheal presented Best album award after his life threatening illness recently, the award went to Adele, Surprise Surpise! Who sadly got cut short by James Corden this didnt please the crowd very much but the show must go on...Well done to Adele!




Performances

Coldplay kicked off tonights show with a performance of Charlie.

Florence and the machine also performed no light no light which wasnt breathtaking in a good way
it seemed a little too 'Kate Bush' for our liking however those high notes were outstanding

Rizzle Kicks and Olly Murs didnt wow us either with a rather dull performance. Such a shame
as the collaboration in theory is quite suited.

Ed Sheeran showed the boys how it was done after Emile Sande's quick mention for winning
critics choice award, performing lego house so effortlessly

Noel Gallagher is up next performing with, no not Oasis but frontman of Colplay Chris Martin who was
on piano

Next up is Bruno Mars who did a very 'Motown' rendition of 'Just the way you are' Massive fan of this
performance probably the best so far!

Rihanna performed with an amazing set - Paint EVERYWHERE! wearing a sweatshirt and what
appears to be timberland boots, I can only describe this look as the 'decorating day' outfit! Sexy yet weird?

Blur ended the night performing Girls & Boys, Song 2 and Park Life where Phil Daniels managed to join them on stage
although it was nice to have Blur back on stage im sad to say it wasnt their best performance.

Beautiful Tributes went out to Amy Whinehouse and Whitney Houston during the course of the night.

Best Dressed

BeAsians best dressed goes to Jessie J and Rihanna who wore show stopping outfits Revealing yet extremely sexy! Not only were all eyes on them at the BRITS they were also the talk of the grammys too, their designers have done an amazing job!
