This year I live blogged the 2013 Brits, as you may have noticed I've now removed the page. If you didn't watch/read my live blog when it was live then don't worry, it's all here:

22:08
Double Brit 2013 winner Emile Sandae (whose name I apologized for spelling
differently and wrongly every time I've written it today) closed the 2013
Brits.
22:02 James Corden and Nick Grimshaw shared a kiss, and James
was afraid to stand up afterwards.
22:01 Rizzle Kicks had a chat with
James.
22:00 The award for Global Sucess was presented by
international superstar Robbie Williams to One Direction. They've made 9.5
million sales. There upcoming tour I am certain has already sold
out.
21:56 Mastercard British Album of the year was presented by Brian
Ferry to (drum roll please) Emile Sandae, for Our Version of Events, who
grinned like a cheshire cat on hearing that she had won. Well done Emile!
21:49 Mumford and Sons next performed I Will Wait, with a variety of
instruments and a blue background
21:43 The Special Recognition Award
was next to be awarded to War Child, check out their website and watch the
video: http://brits.warchild.org.uk/
21:39 Best International Male
Solo Artist was awarded to Frank Ocean, who was spotted by Beyonce, Jay-Z and
Kayne West.
21:34 Uni buds Alt-J next chatted to James-I never knew
that one of them doesn't speak!
21:30 2x 2013 Brit winner Ben Howard
performed live next, with much more basic staging and an equally pitch-perfect
song to all of the other live performances of the night so
far.
21:24 International Group was presented by Foo Fighters' Dave
Grohl to The Black Keys, who couldn't be there and didn't have a video message,
though I'm sure they'll be delighted with it!
21:22 Robbie Williams
and James had a quick chat, about Robbie's experiences at the Brits and the
fit-ness of Taylor Swift.
21:18 Taylor Swift took to the stage next to
perform live. She performed her single Trouble with masked backing dancers,
flames and a quick costume change; wonder how Mr Styles is
feeling?
21:16 Tom Daley and Jonathon Ross presented the next Brit to
Adele; Skyfall for Best British Single. Unfortunately Adele couldn't be at the
Brits so a short video message from her was played.
21:07 An unusual
combination of Olympian Louis Smith and comedian Jack Whitehall awarded Coldplay
with the Brit for British Live Act. 100 shows have been played by Coldplay to an
audience of 2.2million people.
21:02 Que screaming: One Direction were
next to perform live, they performed their worldwide hit comic relief single,
One Way Or Another against a backdrop of explosive pop art with as much energy
and more than you expected.
20:58 X-Factor's Sharon Osborne and
Derment O'Leary (knew he'd pop up somewhere tonight) awarded Lana Del Ray with
the award for Internationl Female Solo Artist. This is the second Brit that the
New York Uni graduate has picked up.
20:50 The Critics Choice Award
was next awarded to its first male winner, Tom Odell.
20:47 Ed
Sheeran announced the winner of the Brit for Best British Male, Ben Howard.
Award no. 2 of the night for starstruck Ben.
20:40 Superstar Justin
Timberlake, to the pleasure of 99.9999% of music lovers, was next to perform
live, lugging a microphone stand around with him as he did
so.
20:31 Foo Fighters lead singer, Dave Grohl, was the next to be
chatted too by James who spoke about the film which he
directed.
20:29 The DJ that booked Harry Styles a stripper, Nick
Grimshaw presented the award for the Best British Breakthrough Award to 22 year
old Ben Howard, who made his debut album in a barn.
20:26 The winner
of Best British Group was Mumford & Sons who were presented with their award
by Simon Pegg and
Berenice
Marloh. 20:22 With
an astonishing number of Brit awards the next entertaining performance came from
a vibrantly dressed chilled out Robbie Williams, who performed his hit single
Candy in-front of an optical illusion background.
20:16 James Corden
took a break from the stage to chat to the not-yet drunk One Direction. Later 1D
are performing their single for Comic Relief, which is currently number one in
an amazing 63 countries. James also questioned Harry on which older member of
the music industry he has his eye on.
20:14 Taylor Swift presented the
first award for British Female Solo Artist to Emile Sandae, who is nominated for
not one, not two, but THREE awards tonight. She accepted with a short but sweet
acceptance speech.
20:12 A light-flashing, music-screeching,
sound-breaking opening to the Brits by Muse, a high standard has indeed been
set for the rest of the performances of the show from Mumford & Sons Emeli
Sandae, One Direction, Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, Robbie Williams and
more. James Corden introduced the wonderfully designed 2013 Brit award, by
Damian Hirst.
20:04 Pleased to see that James Corden is well enough to
present! Listning to an interview with him on radio 2 this morning it seemed
like he was ill.
20:00 Make sure you don't miss the start of the Brits
by tuning into ITV now!
