trampoline. An exciting way to start this the 18th, MOBO awards

everybody! APPLAUSE

They have finally come of age and they are legal. Back when it started

in 1996, the world was a very different place. Jay Z had just

released his debut album. The Spice Girls spent seven weeks at number

one. Remember that? Take that split up for the first time. A little

known DJ joined Radio 1 to do the iconic show for the iconic nation.

You're not that little. Jay Z is on his 12th album. The Spice Girls muse

inning only spent -- musical only spent seven months on stage.

inning only spent -- musical only That are still on stage. Enough

about the past. We have a very That are still on stage. Enough

bright future and shining their light on us tonight we have

performances from Iggy Azalea, Rudimental, Fuse ODG, Miss Miss And

Shy FX. Not just that, Naughty Boy, Laura Mvula, Aluna George, Jahmene

Douglas and IDMC Gospel choir and a special anniversary performance from

So Solid Crew. Someone called security. I'm joking. We invited

them down. A line up worthy of any 18th birthday. We'll be delving into

the MOBO archives to show incredible performances, highlights and I've

had a look, they're really amazing. You won't be disappointed. We've

invited previous winners to dish out some of these little beauties.

Before we do anything else, let s reminisce with some MOBO 18 winning

moments. This is history being made here

tonight. The winner is... Of course, me. No!

and I've never had such an honour. I want to thank the MOBO for this

wonderful moment and this wonderful trophy. I thank you so much.

Hello Lionel Richie, that's all I can say. Some amazing talent there

for all of the gossip and chat from the awards, are you following us?

Keep tweeting, #MOBO 18. Finally the time has come to hand out

Keep tweeting, #MOBO 18. Finally the these little beauties. This year,

they're extra special. these little beauties. This year,

Because winners will walk away with limited edition golden MOBO awards,

not like Trevor's old one. I'm not happy about that. The industry

experts have had their say and the public votes have been counted and

verified. It's a 50/50 split. The first MOBO of the night is for Best

Song in association with PRS for music. Here to do the honours are

the trio known as MKS. Get in. Aka the original Sugababes. Please put

your hands together for them! Hello! Hey everyone. Tonight is a

very special night, we're celebrating a special year in music

for the MOBO 18th. What were we like at 18? What did we wear? Erm... ..

Things that were quite embarrassing probably looking back, like white

PVC high he's. Remember the black lip liner with gloss? We're trying

to forget. We are indeed. The one thing that we can agree on is that

when we were 18, we loved watching the MOBOs. Let's look at the

nominees for this year's Best Song. Some amazing nominees there. We only

have one winner. It's a boy! Naughty Boy featuring Sam Smith.

Congratulations to Naughty Boy. This is his first MOBO of the night. But

he still has another two nominations. Could it be a hat-trick

for him? He'll be performing a medley of his hits later in the

show. What's going on?

CHEERING My name is Naughty Boy. This is my

friend Sam Smith. I'm going to speak after. Thank you everyone who has

bought this song, this is amazing. A big shout out to my managers, Sam,

Jack and Elvin. And Jimmy who helped us write this song. Over to you OK,

I just want to say thank you to MOBOs. I've watched this programme

since I was a kid, especially you Miss Gabrielle, especially you.

Dreams do come true, Gabrielle. They do. OK. Also I'd like to thank my

label virgin. They've been amazing. Thank you Ted. I love you guys.

Thank you everyone. Watford, my family, my brother Omar and my

friend's birthday today. He couldn't be here. Happy birthday. And happy

birthday MOBOs. Congratulations to Naughty Boy. He's

been a Naughty Boy but he's done well. Our next performer started

rapping at the age of 14 in southern Australia. She cites Tupak and missy

Elliott as major influences. She's living her dream in the USA. This

girl knows how to work it, one of the most talked about rappers of the

year, a hotly anticipated debut album and a tour with Beyonce,

# CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Iggy Azalea, she certainly raised the temperature. It may be cold

outside and rainy. But it's getting hot in here. Next up the MOBO for

best female act in association with Tresor Paris. To present it the man

who in 2000 took these awards by storm. Please salute four-time MOBO

winner, the multitalented and extremely buff, he eats clean, but

trains dirty, Craig David! APPLAUSE

That's some welcome. Fantastic. Thank you for having me. Four-time

MOBO winner. I want to take you back to that big year of yours, when you

swept everything. I remember your acoustic performance, I remember the

buy British sweater you are had on. What are your memories? Yeah, the

performance was that medley going from like seven days and Usher's

Nice and slow. That buy British as much as I was sweating like crazy,

it means even more now, because I still feel that the MOBOs isn't just

about music of black origin, it s about music of British origin. When

you see Rudimental and these artists jumping on stage, it's about British

music coming through. So I'm a big believer in buying British, even

more so than I was when I was 1 on the same stage. Well said. Since

that time, in the last ten years, your debut album is ridiculous.

Everyone here probably has a copy. It's a legendary album now. How do

you think the scene has progressed in terms of artists making albums?

I'm not just saying this because I'm patriotic and I am British, but the

UK scene is thriving right now. I patriotic and I am British, but the

going to be the biggest year for UK R B, hip-hop, dub step, all that

music is going to start to change not just the UK, but

internationally. I think for me being, living in Miami, I can see

what's happening over in the UK in a big way. It's starting to make a

splash. We could talk all night OK brother. Do your thing, man. It s

great to be here tonight to support the MOBOs, as they reach 18 years in

the game. These awards are so important to me and I can't believe

it's been 13 years since the last time I was on this stage taking home

a whole load of awards, which are now up on my mantelpiece in Miami. I

hope whoever wins tonight gets as much pride and pleasure out of

theirs as I do for mine. Let's look at the best female act nominees

is... Laura Mvula. This is Laura Mvula's first MOBO of the night

Both her and grime MC Wiley have four nominations and are tonight's

leading contenders. Laura woulded US audiences recently appearing on the

David Letterman shows, as well as touring the country.

This is yours, my love. Congratulations. Thank you.

Erm...... Thank you everyone. This is a great surprise, this feels

really surreal. Can I say thank you to everybody at RCA, Sony, can I

thank my husband, who hasn't seen me in a year. Thank you for sticking

with me. Thank for everybody at my management. Thank you to my family.

Thank you to everybody at Door bell. Everybody at CAA. Cheers. This means

a lot. Thank you. Thank you. Definitely thank you Now

for some MOBO 18 birthday greetings, and memories of some of our

favourite artists. Yo, I'm Jessie J, 18 years, happy

birthday. Happy birthday to you Happy birthday. What's up? This is

Jon Legend wishing you a happy 8th birthday. Enjoy your birthday. Don't

drink too much. I love you. Peace out. Happy birthday MOBO awards I

love you. You're 18. Stay in school. Happy 18th birthday to the MOBOs.

This is my first performance, first award. It's the first award show

that ever, ever gave us awards. It's the first award show stage that we

graced. My first memories of theophobo were watching So Solid

Crew performing 21 Seconds. This guy was coming down from a ladder.

# I got 21 seconds to go # You come through fire right? Yeah.

Who does that? My favourite moments was being on the stage. The great

Alexander O'Neill gave me my award. My favourite memory was winning one

of these. Pretty much waited all my life to be invited to the MOBOs

# Happy birthday to you # Labrinth, that yellow jacket, mm-mm.

Welcome to the stage, comedian and actor and good mate of mine Eddie

Caddy. Wow, wow, wow. Glasgow, make some

noise! CHEERING

If you love the MOBOs, make some noise.

CHEERING Now, guys, I have to say I've done

my fair bit for the MOBOs in the past 20 years. I've celebrated this

music of black origin, whoever celebrated with me when So Solid

Crew did 21 seconds, you remember? Yeah, I did. I celebrate. Also when

Dizzee came out with, "I love you". I parted the skies. I did my part.

Even when funky House came out I felt lost because the only way to

dance to that is by looking confuelsed in Glasgow. This is

exactly how it went. You know what, I've done my part,

but I've been waiting for a long time to perform in front of

everybody, millions of people, today it's all about African music. That's

what I've come to perform. I've had enough. I've been waiting for this

all day. I said to my mum, I'm letting loose.

Right. Let's look at this year's nominees for Best African Act.

An the MOBO for Best African Act goes to... My brother, Fuse ODG

APPLAUSE Fuse ODG stands for fuse off the

ground. The movement aims to highlight the new and exciting new

elements of African culture. Wow. Make some noise MOBOs.

CHEERING Like, I didn't prepare anything

because first of all, I didn't even know I was going to win this so

early or even win in the first place, but I just want to say

quickly that I don't just make music just to make music. I make music to

change lives. I'm making music because I'm proud to be African I'm

making music because I want to change the perception of Africa

When I was young, when I was younger, the perception of Africa

were hunger and poverty and stuff like that. But we're growing now.

We're successful men, doing our thing. It's important that if the

media don't show that, we show that as African Med. As Fuse ODG -- as

African men. As Fuse ODG I want to make muse Change The Continent. I

Swear Down, I've Already Died For African And I'm Ready To Change The

Perception Of Africa. Thank You Very Much Mobos.

I Have Always Parade For A Platform To Speak To The World To Change

I Have Always Parade For A Platform Perception Of Africa. This Is A

Blessing. Thank You Guys So Much For Loving My Music Because It's Giving

Me The Opportunity To Speak Out To You. Thank You So Much, Just So You

Know, This Is New Africa. Now For Something A Bit Special Bit

What? Their talents are limitless. I like that. Like the name of their

tour. Please give a welcome for diversity's Ashley Banjo and a real

life living doll Kimberly Wyatt Hello everyone! The five guys

nominated in this category have 15 top-ten hits between them. And each

one has been instrumental in putting UK hip-hop and grime on the

international stage. And this year, more than ever, they have

spearheaded the UK music scene. Hello everybody! More than that

They have made us dance. Here are the nominees.

An the MOBO for Best Hip Hop/Grunge Act goes to: Yeah. Tinie Tempah

Well done Tinie Tempah. This is his fourth MOBO award and the second

time he's won Best Hip Hop/Grunge Act. He's gearing up for the release

of his album entitled Demonstration. Glasgow! Amazing. I love this place

so much. Before I start and say anything, first and foremost I want

to say happy 18th birthday to the MOBOs. I'm only 24, so that shows

how long the MOBOs have been around. Secondly, I just want to thank

everybody. I want to thank my team Disturbing London, an the whole team

over there. I want to thank my DJ as well for supporting me along this

journey. Want to thank the parlour phone team and I want to dedicate

this award to the whole next generation of MCs and people that

are coming up. I think that's very, very important. I feel like we're at

a stage now where we need to go beyond everything we've done and

take it that step further. So everybody needs to start thinking a

little bit more about who they are, what their brand is and what they

want to do. Thank you MOBOs for all your support, second time. God

bless, man. Thank you Glasgow. Now the next award is for Best

Reggae Act. As one of the first black music forms to break the

British charts, reggae music holds a very special place in the nation's

musical hearts. Let's look at the nominees.

Right, they've given me one to give out, so I'm going to open this. The

Best Reggae Act goes to Sean Paul. Unfortunately, Sean can't be with us

tonight. Here is his acceptance speech.

Hey yo, this is Sean Paul. Salute to the MOBO awards, you no ewhat I

mean? It's been many years that you guys have honoured me and I'm

thanking you for that. Respect you. I'm sorry that I cannot be there. My

heart is there. Boom.

Time for another Boom.

12 months, this stage -- this receptionist has transformed herself

into a soul diva. Described by some as the UK's very own Nina Simone.

For me, she's simply refreshingly unique. With four MOBO nominations

and already a winner of Best Female Act, it's the sublime, Laura Mvula.

# Hey there, you, shattered in a thousand pieces.

# Weeping in the darkest nights # Hey there, you, try to stand up on

your own two feet. # And stumble into the sky.

# When the lights go out and you're on your own.

# How are you gonna make it through till the morning sun?

# Sing to the moon and the stars will shine.

# Over you, lead you to the other side.

# Sing to the moon and the stars will shine.

# Over you, heaven's gonna turn the time.

# Sing to the moon an the stars will shine

# Over you, lead you to the other side

# Sing to the moon and the stars will shine

# Over you, heaven's gonna turn the tide.

Take me outside, sit in the green garden.

# Nobody out there, but it's OK now. # Bathe in the sunlight, don't mind

if rain falls. # Take me outside, sit in the green

garden. # Take me outside

# Sit in a green garden # And I'll fly on the wings of a

butterfly. # High as a tree top and down, down

again. # Putting my bag down, taking my

shoes off. # Walk in the carpet of green

velvet. # Dance in my garden like we used

to, ooh ah, ooh ah oh. # Dance in my garden like we used

to, ooh ah, ooh ah oh. # I'll go, wherever you go, wherever

you take me, I'll go. # I'll go, wherever you go, wherever

you take me, I'll go. # Take me outside, sit in the green

garden. # I'll go, wherever you go, wherever

you take me, I'll go. # I'll go, wherever you go, wherever

you take me, I'll go. # I'll go, wherever you go, wherever

you take me, I'll go. # #

APPLAUSE As you can see, I'm now on one of

the tables down here. I don't know if you can see me? This is where the

elite people sit, you know what I mean? The stars or the moneyied or

whatever, sitting next to Ms Dynamite. The MOBOs for you, you go

back, you've won a few. You have strong memories, I'm sure. Yeah all

of my memories of MOBOs have been amazing, the performances, I mean

when you say I go back, without making myself sound too old, we re

talking about the days of like Jrrool, way back in the day. One of

my favourite memories was meeting Lauren Hill. Wow. Yeah, that was,

you know great. A great memory. Hold onto that one. I was going to go

into some of your outfits back in the day. But I didn't want to do

that to you. This man here is one of the shiest people I know in the

business, but he's one of the most prolific. Shy FX, how are you? I'm

good. Good to be here. You go under loads of different aliases as well.

Yeah, I try to keep it under cover. How did your hook up with dynamite

happen? It's been a long time coming. I've seen her on the circuit

for a while. We had a conversation about a reggae junkle track. It went

from there. Keep doing what you re doing. Can't wait to see the

performance. I want to take you back to another massive MOBO memory.

Who can remember 1999? That was the year that Jay Z

Who can remember 1999? That was the Beyonce was in the building. It

could have been the first time that he clapped eyes on her. Let's have a

look. # Take me places I ain't never been

# But now go and spend your # You're slowly making me

# Because your money should be handling.

# # What do I got to do to make you

love me? # What do I Gotye do to make you --

gotta do to make you care? # Get down on it

# Get on it # Get down on it #

# Let me be the one you come running to #

# I can see you dying # I don't want to do this any more

# # Father, father, help us, give some

guidance from above # People got

guidance from above where is the love? #

Tear the roof off # Tear the roof off #

# What the world needs now is love, sweet love #

You can't go wrong with a bit of Tina Turner. In my humble opinion

these guyles are the best live act of the summer. Yeah, you could say

2013 was Rudimental's year, since releasing their debut album, they've

played nonstop festivals, toured the world and finished the year with

three MOBO nominations. That's impressive. In celebration of MOBO's

18th anniversary, Rudimental are about to perform the fudgeies

classic, ready or not, which was released the year it all started in

1996. Please feel the love for Rudimental!

# Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide.

# Gonna find you and take it slowly. # Ready or not, here I come, you

can't hide. # Gonna find you and make you want

me. # Anywhere you go

# My home crew want to know # Oh, baby

What a performance from Rudimental. Now, two ladies who epitomise

everything these awards are about, talent. One received a MOBO from

Alexander O'Neill at the very first awards. The other has been on a

mission since her debut album was released in 2011. Both have new

albums, both are brilliant. Give a gushing Glasgow welcome from

Gabrielle and Katy B. APPLAUSE

I'll get this side. Let me start with Gabrielle. I haven't seen her

for so many years. Give her a round after plauz.

APPLAUSE So glad Naughty Boy did something

with your famous tune, Dreams. That's right. He's fabulous. It was

a pleasure to work with him, so talented. I'm glad he's been

recognised. I'm lost for words. He's amazing. You have your own mic, you

know that? You know something, I knew I'd muck up some time today.

You've got a new album as well, we've been waiting for the second

album, what will we get from that? It's called Little Red and it's out

in January. Yeah, it's just the next chapter of the Katy B story. I'm so

excited for you to hear it. Two talented ladies, get on with the

job. Here we go. The MOBO for Best Male

Act is one of the most hotly contested categories of the night.

It's for a male group, duo or single artist who've had exceptional 1

months. Let's look at the nominees. And the winner is... Wiley!

Unfortunately Wiley can't be with us tonight. Here's a message from him.

I'm sorry I couldn't be there with you tonight. Trust me, I wish I was

there right now. I want to big up the big man upstairs, God, I want to

there right now. I want to big up big up my family and grandparents.

Jon warmth, I want to big up the whole team and the BBK family. I

have to big up all the people on Twitter, the fans, the followers,

because I know you've made this happen. This one is definitely for

you and my brother angel he will pick up the award for me, team UK.

Obviously wile Wye couldn't make it tonight -- Wiley couldn't make it

tonight. He asked me to collect his award from -- for him. A brother

from another mother. It's a massive thank you. It's his first MOBO. Out

to you Jon Wolfe, what he would say Jon Wolfe bro, we've done it, we

won, that's all that matters. Thank you MOBO.

Oh, my goodness. The MOBOs incredible. Are you having a good

time? I'm worried about the drinks behind me. Now for a unique

collaboration, Jahmene Douglas is a self-confessed lover of Gospel music

E-IDMC are a MOBO nominated Gospel choir. They're a match made in

heaven. Here they are a mesmerising version of Next to Me.

Before we get to that, where are all the ladies? You're not a lady. All

the fellas then. Are you having a good time? Yeah, man.
