GENERAL FEATURES
The Brits 2012: Adele Flips the Lid
The winners at the Brits 2012 and why Adele let loose at the end of the show
The Brit Awards took place in London last night. The biggest award show in the UK music calendar is always a lavish, highly produced affair but last night's show felt somewhat dull. The roster of UK acts felt safe and uninteresting and there were precious little surprises from the international performers. Even the much hyped Blur performance to close the show felt underwhelming.
Today's biggest story from the show is the cutting off of Adele on accepting the Best Album and her flipping of the bird to "the suits" while on stage.
Winners are as follows:
British Female Solo Artist : Adele
International Male Solo Artist: Bruno Mars
Critics' Choice: Emeli Sande
