The 23-year-old singer, who is well known for her elaborate stage shows - including covering herself in fake blood and performing on a piano on stilts – has infuriated organisers of tonight’s (16.02.10) ceremony so much with her constant changes they have also moved her performance time from the coveted prime time 9pm slot.

A source said: “Lady Gaga wanted her stage show to be as big and as theatrical as her Grammys one, an idea which the Brits bosses loved.

“The plan was for a London-themed backdrop with models of all the major monuments. Gaga would arrive onstage on a pimped-up green Rolls-Royce and sing ‘Poker Face’ and ‘Telephone’.

“But the Rolls-Royce is now gathering dust backstage after she changed her mind and ditched the plans.”

Gaga wanted to change her set in favour of a tribute to British fashion designer Alexander McQueen – who committed suicide last week - but she has been urged not to do so for fear of it looking “crass”.

The source added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Her aides persuaded her that it would appear crass. So on Monday morning she changed everything yet again and promised to stump up the bill for the new stage which is easily in the £100,000s.”

Meanwhile, British rock band Kasabian have been banned by organisers at the show from using real flames during their performance.

The rockers who are up for Best British Group and Best British Album at the awards, will instead have a “psychedelic” display when they perform their hit single ‘Fire’.

Lead singer Tom Meighan said: “There will be a big screen of fire, it’ll be psychedelic. I wish I could be like Indiana Jones. It would be amazing if it was real.”

The rapper will perform with Florence and the Machine on a special version of his song ‘Dirty Cash’, which will segue into Florence’s cover of ‘You Got the Love’ by Candi Staton, and the climax of the track will see them release banknotes with their faces printed on them over the audience.

The pair’s version of the song – dubbed ‘You’ve Got The Dirty Love’ - will then be available for download after the show.

Despite promising a spectacular performance, Dizzee said he is not usually a fan of putting on over-the-top stage shows.

He told The Sun newspaper: “I’ve no plan for one of those Shakespearian massive performances. It won’t be one of those Robin Hood things with lots of twirling - unless I’m drunk!

“But we do have a few tricks. One involves money, which we will shower over the audience.”

Florence and the Machine singer Florence Welch added that they have had to pull together to create their performance quickly.

She added: “We’ve only had three days of rehearsals but I’d have been happy to wing it.”

Dizzee added that the performer he’s most looking forward to watching at the show tomorrow – which will see Robbie Williams, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys take to the stage, among others – is ‘Poker Face’ singer Lady Gaga.

He said: “She’s amazing at what she does and always make me gasp – the number of times I’ve said, ‘f***ing hell’ when I see her on TV. That’s what we hope to do with our performance.

“I haven’t seen no-one like her since Madonna. She wears things I couldn’t dream up. It’s going to be mad.”

Dizzee is nominated for two gongs at the BRIT awards – which take place at London’s Earl’s Court tomorrow – British Male Solo Artist and British Album, while Florence is nominated for British Female Solo Artist, British Breakthrough Act and British Album.

The hotly-tipped singer, who won the BRITS 2010 Critics Choice Award in December 2009, admits she has not had time to prepare for the event, which take place on February 16.

She said: “God, I haven’t even started getting ready for that! I haven’t got a speech, haven’t got a dress… I haven’t even had time to talk to anyone about it.

“I’m meant to be getting sorted out on Sunday, but if that doesn’t happen then it’s just straight into the wardrobe for something.

“How are you supposed to prepare for that sort of thing anyway? I’m not exactly going to go there and go, ‘Right, tonight, I will be noshing with celebrities’.”

Despite being the most critically acclaimed artist of 2010 so far, Ellie admits that her music taste in the past has not always been so stellar.

She admitted to website The Quietus: “My first record? I’m not really sure, my memory’s terrible… I think it might have been a Spice Girls tape. I think I bought everything, though – lots of dance, Simply Red’s ‘Fairground’, bit of Blur, The Verve, Supergrass, a lot of classical.”

‘Angels’ singer Robbie – who has previously spoken of how his severe stage fright has halted his live performances – will perform a short set to commemorate recieiving a lifetime achievement award, with rumours rife that he will reunite with his former Take That bandmates for the second time since launching a solo career in 1996.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Take That could reunite with Robbie to perform his second track. It’s the band’s 20th anniversary year and they and they are in talks about doing something spectacular.”

Robbie previously joined Take That and a host of other stars onstage for a rendition of Beatles song ‘Hey Jude’ at a concert in aid of charity Children in Need in November last year.

Meanwhile, rap superstar Jay-Z is rumoured to be making an appearance at the show, and will possibly perform with ‘Viva La Vida’ hitmakers Coldplay, fronted by Chris Martin.

A source said:  “As well as bringing Alicia Keys on stage to do a rendition of their hit ‘Empire State of Mind’, he’s thinking of getting Coldplay involved too. Chris Martin and Jay have been pals for years.”

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga will not be able to realise her plan of performing alongside reality TV sensation Susan Boyle at the awards show - as the latter has reportedly been snubbed from nominations because she is “not cool” enough.

Susan– who rose to fame after appearing on ‘Britain’s Got Talent’, one of media mogul Simon Cowell’s TV shows – is said to have missed out on a nod in any category, despite being the biggest selling female artist of 2009 in the UK.

A source said: “She’s not even shortlisted for Best Female, even though that’s usually the weakest category.

“And it’s not just an attack on Susan. It also shows how Simon Cowell is regarded by many in the record business.”

However, one collaboration which will definitely take place at the awards will be between Dizzee Rascal and Florence and the Machine in a specially conceived track called ‘You Got The Dirtee Love’, a mash up of their tracks ‘You Got The Love’ and ‘Dirtee Cash’.

‘Beat Again’ hitmakers JLS have also been confirmed to sing at the ceremony, which takes place at London’s Earls Court on 16 February.

The nominations for the BRIT Awards will be announced tonight (18.01.10).
