Subject: Brit Awards 2016: Adele tipped for top prize

Written By: Philip Eno on 02/24/16 at 4:18 am

Pop star Adele is expected to win the top prize - album of the year - at the Brit Awards later.

She is also in the running for best British female, with bookmakers predicting she will lift both trophies.

Adele will also perform at the show, as will Rihanna, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd and Little Mix - who are bringing their mums to the ceremony.

Meanwhile, hosts Ant and Dec have joked that "capes are banned" after Madonna's agonising fall last year.

"They're a health and safety nightmare!" Declan Donnely told ITV news.

They said the same thing for Mariah Carey for her Daydream album for the 1996 grammys and it didnt work out that way at all(she won nothing).

At least Adele isnt at the grammys today! She will probably win the award.

I guess so, I felt so sorry for her about that sound issue that messed up part of her performance.

The Brit for best British male artist has gone to James Bay.

Here's a collaboration we couldn't have predicted - James Bay playing the guitar to accompany Justin Bieber on his track Love Yourself.

The two JBs sounded pretty good together, we reckon.

Bieber then took to a literally flaming stage, lit by an image of a full moon, for Sorry.

A weeping Adele won the global success award and managed to turn the air blue for a second or two in her excitement.

She said she didn't know if she was crying because of the video montage that was played before she accepted the award - or if it was because British astronaut Tim Peake was the one announcing she was the winner.

"I thought I was so lost for a while, and for you all to be so kind to me is amazing," she said.

"Not bad for a girl from Tottenham who don't like flying, and thanks to Tim Peake, I love you - I hope you're okay and not too hungry."

Three awards so far...

A posthumous Brit has been awarded to David Bowie.

Actor Gary Oldman has accepted the Brits icon award on behalf of his friend, with everyone in the O2 on their feet to applaud the late, great artist.

He said: "He was the very definition, the living embodiment of that singular word - icon."

He described Bowie as "an artist of transcendent talent", adding: "We love you, and we thank you."

Annie Lennox had introduced the award, saying: "There was no one, and nothing, else like him. He was truly unique."

"His legacy is his extraordinary sound and vision, which is loved and revered for as long as the earth still spins"  - Annie Lennox
