We don't like to blow our own trumpets at Bobbysix but, four years ago, we stated that a little-known singer from Tottenham called Adele had "the potential to be a truly remarkable artist." Four years ago! Well, her meteoric rise to megastardom continued this week when she took out Best British Female and Best British Album at the 2012 Brit Awards.
Mind you, how much faith can you put in the Brits, in terms of a yardstick of quality? Sure, Adele has talent, Blur deserve their pat on the back and Foo Fighters are worthy enough winners but, come on, Bruno Fucking Mars and One Direction? Far out.
The awards ceremony took place in London on Tuesday night and included performances from Coldplay (whose frontman Chris Martin later joined Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds on piano), Florence And The Machine and Rihanna. There were also video tributes to Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston.
