London hosted the BRIT Awards last night, which offered some nice firsts: Lily Allen won her first award as Best British Female Solo Act and her first as a Snooki lookalike (fire the stylist), and Lady Gaga swept three international awards. International Male of the year? Jay-Z. A performance highlight came via two of the night's winners, Dizzee Rascal and Florence & the Machine, performing a live mashup titled "You've Got The Dirtee Love," because Flo's "You've Got The Love" is built for this shit. Liam Gallagher also accepted an award for What's The Story (Morning Glory)? for best BRIT album of the last 30 years. It was up against albums from the Verve, Coldplay, Travis, and Keane. And Phil Collins' No Jacket Required. Robbed.
Flo + Dizzee, a bunch of photos, and a full list of winners await:
