ADELE WINS TWO BRIT AWARDS, FLIPS THE MIDDLE FINGER!

Adele not amused by her speech being interrupted flipped the middle finger

The 32nd edition of the British Phonographic Industry‘s annual pop music or BRIT Awards was held last night Tuesday, February 21, 2012 and recording artist and songwriter Adele made the headlines by dominating the night just like she did at the recently concluded Grammys.

The 23-year-old singer won two awards – the biggest award of the night ‘Album of the Year‘ and ‘Best Female Artiste’ and gave an expected resounding performance of her single ‘Rolling in the deep‘. But it wasn’t all these that make her trend worldwide on Twitter.

Adele had been announced as winner of the top award ‘Album of the Year‘ of the night and was in the middle of her acceptance speech when she was interrupted by show host James Corden who introduced alternative rock band Blur.

‘Nothing beats coming home with six Grammys and then coming to the Brits and winning album of the year. I’m so proud to be flying the British flag for all of you‘,  Adele said…

Then came James Corden…

‘I’m so sorry, but I’m going to have to cut you off‘, Corden told Adele. Adele responded: ‘Are you about to cut me off? Can I just say then, goodbye and I’ll see you next time round‘. Obviously annoyed, Adele threw up the middle finger.

‘I got cut off during my speech and flung the middle finger. But that finger was to the suits at the Brit Awards, not to my fans‘, Adele said later on.

Adele won six Grammy Awards at the 54th edition that was held on February 12, 2012.

ADELE AND ED SHEERAN WIN AT UK MUSIC'S BRIT AWARDS

Soulful songstress Adele snatched a double win at the U.K.’s Brit music awards Tuesday grabbing the album of the year and best British female solo artist while tousle haired, singer-songwriter English troubadour Ed Sheeran, 21, won two trophies, which includes British breakthrough act and British male solo artist, at the bouncy ceremony in London’s O2 arena.

North London diva Adele, 23, won last week six Grammys and in the U.S. alone her sophomore album “21” sold more than 6 million copies. But Adele had to fix a potentially career-threatening throat condition and had to undergo vocal cord surgery in November.

"It's been an amazing year," Adele said as she received the female artist statuette from petite pop star Kylie Minogue. She wore a sleek black Burberry gown towering over Minogue adding that she feel like a drag queen next to Minogue

Actor James Corden, the show's host, cut short Adele's second acceptance speech that prompted the singer to make a rude middle-finger gesture in disappointment. She later apologized that it was meant at industry leaders, not her fans.

"I'm sorry if I offended anyone but it was the suits that offended me," Adele said. "Thank you all very much and thanks to my fans. I don't want them to think I was swearing at them."

ITV the show's broadcaster apologized to Adele in a statement for cutting her off.

The ceremony also included tributes to two departed divas, Whitney Houston and Amy Winehouse.

The red-headed Sheeran has been criticized as boring by some critics, but has garnered legions of young fans through online releases and unfaltering calendar of shows.

More than 1, 000 musicians, critics, record industry and the deciding public vote selected most of the awards.
