    Grammy vs BRITs

    So which of this week's massive shows was the best? We compare the arrivals, the performers, the awards and the hair!

    1. Rihanna arriving for the 2011 Brit Awards

      1. Best Outfit - Rihanna arriving for the 2011 Brit Awards

      Rihanna rocking up to the BRITs in a Christian Dior haute couture purple and turquoise enssemble.

    2. rihanna arrives at the Grammy Awards

      2. Best Outfit - Rihanna at the Grammy Awards

      At the Grammys, she elected to go for a eye-catching Jean Paul Gautier cream dress with Louboutin shoes. Which outfit of hers do you prefer?

    3. Tinie Tempah arriving for the 2011 Brit Awards

      3. Best Male outfit-Tinie Tempah arriving for the 2011 Brit Awards

      Tinie Tempah arriving for the 2011 Brit Awards in a stunning cream tuxedo. We were expecting trousers to match though TT!

    4. Bruno mars at the Grammy Awards

      4. Best Male outfit Bruno Mars at the Grammy Awards

      Bruno Mars poses with the Smeezingtons in 60s style Rat Pack fitting suits.

    5. Justin Bieber arriving for the 2011 Brit Awards

      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

      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. Katy Perry and Russell Brand at the Grammy Awards

      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. Rihanna and Cheryl Cole

      8. Love Thang: Rihanna and Cheryl Cole

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

    9. Cee Lo Green

      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.

    10. Cee Lo Green and Paloma Faith live at the BRIT Awa

      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.

    11. Lady Gaga live at the Grammys

      11. Best Dancers: Lady Gaga

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

    12. Take That live at the Brit Awards

      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.

    13. Tinie tempah

      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.

    14. Will Smith Jade and Willow Smith at the Grammy Awa

      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.

    15. willow smith at the Grammy Awards

      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!

    16. Adele arriving for the 2011 Brit Awards

      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.

    17. Usher and Justin Bieber

      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!

    18. Tinie Tempah

      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.

    19. Lady Gaga arrives at the Grammys

      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!

    20. Taio Cruz

      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!

    21. Lady Gaga beyonce and usher

      21. Backstage - Lady Gaga, Beyonce and Usher backstage

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

    22. Rihanna and Pixie Lott at the BRIT Awards

      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.

    23. Lady Gagaat the Grammys

      23. Statue - Lady Gaga at the Grammys

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

    24. Tinie Tempah at the BRIT Awards

      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!

    25. Jessie J at the BRIT Awards

      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?

    26. Nicki Minaj at the Grammy Awards

      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?
