Host James Corden: 'It's the biggest music event we do'
Ellie Goulding and Mark Ronson presented Jessie J with the critics' choice prize.
The Essex-born singer, who is currently number one in the singles chart with Price Tag, is the fourth consecutive female to take home the prize.
The star, who previously attended the ceremony as a Brit School pupil, said she could not believe she was now winning a prize.
"I remember sitting over there trying to get the attention of anyone who would wave at me, and now I'm sitting at number one and collecting an award," she said.
Take That will compete against Biffy Clyro, Mumford and Sons and Gorillaz for the best group honour.
The Brit awards are live on ITV1 from 2000 GMT.
All performances will be available to buy on the iTunes website directly after the show.
Profits from the downloads will be donated to the Brits Trust, the awards' charity partner.
