Sean Paul's name has seemingly adopted the prefix "featuring" - as in Beyonce featuring Sean Paul and Blu Cantrell featuring Sean Paul.

It's also a testament to how good this artist is when he can put on a storming show without requiring the talents of any of his superstar colleagues to support him.

Kicking off with the hit single Gimme The Light, he sprung about the stage liked a sexually charged slinky, calling out to the "sexy ladies of Brighton" to make some noise.

A live band and a quartet of booty-shaking dancers added dazzle to the show but it was Paul's grinding hips and gravely voice that provided the star quality.

The number-one hit Breathe (without Blu) and the worldwide smash Baby Boy (without Beyonce) followed before things descended into a mishmash of reggae and salsa flavas.

Returning to his trademark dancehall sound, Paul then wisely finished on a high with the big-gun singles Like Glue and Shake That Thing - two tunes that got the crowd (which resembled a packed-out youth club) waving their hands in the air like they just didn't care.

Far more low key but no less impressive was a short 30-minute set from this year's Mercury Music Prize winner Dizzee Rascal.

Mostly using material from his debut album Boy In Da Corner, 19-year-old Dizzee, real name Dylan Mills, dropped many of the LP's eclectic influences and opted instead to go with an MC-led garage/R'n'B sound.

I Love You and Jezebel were given a fresh perspective from this precociously talented performer.

However, it was the awesome Fix Up, Look Sharp that really blew the roof of the Dome.

Featuring such classic lines as "I'm old school, like Happy Shopper" and "Sweet as a nut, sweet like Tropicana," it really showcases the urban word play and innovative beats that have made Dizzee a big star in such a short time.

Held together by Zane Lowe, this was undoubtedly one of the highlights of Radio 1's One Live In Brighton.

"Brighton, are you feeling it?" shouted Dizzee mid point during the show. Yes we were "from the street to the slammer".
