In Adele’s own words, “Nothing makes me prouder than coming home with six Grammys and then coming to the Brits and winning album of the year. I’m so proud to be British and to be flying the flag.” She was clearly the dominant figure of the night after having ruled the Grammy Awards less than two weeks ago. She won the awards for British Female Solo Artist and, arguably, the biggest award of the night Best Album for 21. However, she lost the award for British Single which was taken by boy band One Direction. Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, who just turned 21, also had a very good night. He took home awards for both British Male Solo Artist and British Breakthrough Artist. No doubt these accolades will help both Ed Sheeran and One Direction as they head to the US later this year to attempt to generate success with American pop audiences. For US TV viewers, the Brit Awards will be broadcast tonight at 9 p.m. ET on the cable TV channel Fuse.
