The UK talent was gleaming at Wednesday’s MOBO awards in Glasgow with JLS and N-Dubz both picking up two awards.
The X Factor runner-up JLS have come a long way in 12 months, sweeping up the awards for Best Newcomer and Best Song while N-Dubz took home the Best UK Act and Best Album awards.
The night was dedicated to Michael Jackson with an introduction by La Toya Jackson and a musical tribute by Britain’s Got Talent runner-up, Shaheen Jafargholi.
Britain’s got Talent winners Diversity meanwhile, wowed the audience with a dance medley to a selection of Jackson songs. Jermaine then rounded off the special tribute with ‘Smile’ to his brother.
Hosted by Radio 1’s Reggie Yates and US songstress Keri Hilson, the stand out performances of the night included a duet by Taio Cruz and Keri Hilson, and Kelly Rowland and David Guetta’s number one, ‘When Love Takes Over.’
