5. 

   5. Arrivals -Justin Bieber arriving for the 2011 Brit Awards

   JB opts for a smart-casual look at the BRITs. He's got the shirt and tie, but elected to wear a fitting leather jacket with jeans. We're not too sure about this look.

   6. Justin Bieber at the Grammy Awards

   Whereas at the Grammys, Bieber rocked the cream tux. We're liking this one, but which of his award outfits is better? Tell us in the comments area below:

   7. Love Thang: Katy Perry and Russell Brand at the Grammy Awards

   Katy and Russell showing their love at the Grammys. Their outfits also complement each other - Russell's slate suit works well with Katy's bejewelled Armani gown.

   8. Love Thang: Rihanna and Cheryl Cole

   Cheryl and Rihanna were our favourite couple at the BRITs. Both looked absolutely stunning at the ceremony.

10. 

    9. Collabration: Cee Lo Green and Gwyneth Paltrow

    In one of the more unusual performances of the evening a very colourful Cee-Lo Green teamed up with Gwyneth Paltrow and The Muppets. But Cee-Lo looked absolutely brilliant.

11. 

    10. Collabration: Cee Lo Green and Paloma Faith live at the BRIT Awards

    Cee Lo Green teamed up with Paloma Faith at the Brits, but elected for a more conservative look. Paloma as always looked stunning.

13. 

    11. Best Dancers: Lady Gaga

    Gaga's dancers during her performance of 'Born This Way' were absolutely mesmerising.

14. 

    12. Best Dancers: Take That live at the Brit Awards

    Take That's dancers were dressed as riot cops in shields and helmets. Not as glam as Gaga's dancers, but we were impressed by the choreography.

15. 

    13. 'Meet the Tempah's: Tinie Tempah

    Our favourite family snap at the BRITs was this one as an overjoyed Tinie teamed up with his proud mum and dad for a snap at the BRITs.

16. 

    14. Meet the Smiths - Will Smith with Jada and Willow Smith

    But for sheer star power, this family pic at the Grammys wins out. Will and wife Jada pose with their talented daughter Willow.

17. 

    15. Best Accessories at the Grammys - Shoes Willow Smith

    You may have noticed that Willow Smith looked incredibly tall in the last pic. That's because she was wearing these amazing platform shoes. We reckon there's almost six inches of wedge right there. Great accessory!

19. 

    16. Best Accessories at the BRITS -Adele's earrings

    However, we reckon Adele wins the accessory crown as her diamond earrings at the BRITs were reportedly worth a huge £50,000. Bling and bling again.

20. 

    17. Best Male performance - Usher and Justin Bieber

    Usher teamed up with JB at the Grammys for a eagerly-awaited collab. Was a great performance too!

21. 

    18. Best Male performance Tinie Tempah at the BRITs

    The BRITs didn't have a massive collaboration this year, however Eric Turner and Labrinth joined Tinie on-stage for a trio of the stars biggest hits.

22. 

    19. Best Arrivals - Lady Gaga arrives at the Grammys

    She's not one too make a discrete entrance to a party is she. Gaga arrived at the Grammys inside a giant egg. She spent three hours inside the thing too!

23. 

    20. Best Arrival - Taio Cruz

    Okay so none of the entrances at the BRITs compared to Gaga's audacious effort, but Taio Cruz claimed on Twitter that he was arriving at the BRITs in a Rolls Royce escorted by BMW motorbikes. Sorry Taio, still doesn't really compare to Gaga's effort!

25. 

    21. Backstage - Lady Gaga, Beyonce and Usher backstage

    There were several backstage hook-ups at the Grammys but none came bigger than this trio.

26. 

    22. Backstage -Rihanna and Pixie Lott

    At the BRITs, it was the girls who spent a lot of time together. Rihanna spent a lot of time having girly catch-ups with Pixie Lott and Cheryl Cole.

27. 

    23. Statue - Lady Gaga at the Grammys

    Which award do you prefer? Here's the understated Grammys gramophone statuette.

28. 

    24. Statue Tinie Tempah

    The BRITs meanwhile had a redesigned award by Vivienne Westwood. However some critics have compared the look of the new award to a bottle of bubble bath liquid!

29. 

    25. Outrageous outfit - Jessie J at the BRIT Awards

    Jessie J rocked up to the BRITs in this emerald green Vivienne Westwood number. What do you think of it?

31. 

    26. Outrageous outfit - Nicki Minaj

    Not many people can get away with this incredible leapord print ensemble which looks like it's been painted on. We reckon this is a little more outrageous than Jessie's BRITs effort, but what do you think?
