Tinie Tempah still loves Newsround but says he didn't arrive on a bus even though he wanted to!
He's really looking forward to the show and says he'd love to a duet with Rihanna.
I'd love to have taken Chipmunk up on his offer of heading to the aftershow party, but instead I'm off to the winner's enclosure to get some post-Brits reaction from the winners.
You can find out who's won what on tomorrow's Newsround bulletins!

Alesha Dixon's just had a foot operation so was hopping about on the red carpet in her high heels!
Chipmunk said he was going to try to smuggle me into the aftershow party - I'll let you know how I get on.
Just waiting for Tinie now.

And we are off!! The Newsround Brits 'A-Team' (that's my cameraman, producer and me) are on our way to the O2 Arena.
Tinie Tempah must be feeling pretty nervous. I've heard he might be arriving on a double decker London bus!

Some of the other celebs will be arriving on a boat via the River Thames.
I'll be getting there in a car. Not so fancy.

The countdown to the Brits 2011 has begun. Tonight will see Rihanna, Take That and Tinie Tempah performing on stage and of course Newsround will be there.
I'll be live on the red carpet this evening, but right now I'm getting the inside scoop. Yesterday all five members of Take That were busy rehearsing their routine.
Apparently the lads will be joined on stage with 300 dancers! Tinie Tempah and Plan B will also be raising the roof at the O2 Arena in London.
But who will bag a Brit? Tinie's got four nominations, Cheryl Cole and Take That both have two. I'll bring you all the backstage gossip and let you know who wins what. I'll be leaving the office in a minute… Brits, here I come.
