Adele Cut Off At Awards Show

02/23/2012
. (popmusiclife) Following her recent Grammy sweep, Adele picked up some more hardware Tuesday night at the Brit Awards. BBC reports Adele snagged Best British Album and Best British Female honors at the event.

Adele's "21" beat records by Coldplay, Florence & The Machine, PJ Harvey and Ed Sheeran to earn the Best British Album award. In the Best British Female category, Adele beat Jessie J, Florence & The Machine, Kate Bush and last year's winner, Laura Marling.

The evening wasn't without controversy: After winning Best Album � the key award of the night � Adele told the screaming audience she was "so proud to be British." But despite taking the major honors of the evening, the singer was cut off in her moment of glory and looked peeved as host James Corden interrupted her to make way for Blur because the televised show was running out of time. more on this story
