2013 Brits: What was live (Part 3)

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!
