Brit Awards
Adele may have beat her at the Grammys, but in her homeland, it was Duffy who reigned supreme at the Brit Awards tonight, winning three awards for best newcomer, British female, and the big award--Best British Album for her debut Rockferry. She beat out Grammy-nominated Coldplay's Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends, the first Coldplay album not to win this award.
She didn't pick up Best British Single, which surprisingly went to Girls Aloud's "The Promise," beating Grammy Song of the Year winner "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay. I thought Estelle and Kanye West had a shot with "American Boy," but it didn't even make the final five. Best International Album went to--no surprise--Kings of Leon for Only By the Night, who also won best International Group.

is The Promise a better song than Viva La Vida? Probably not, but i'm happy GA finally got their Brit. And PSB performance rocked - even with a slightly strangled sounding Gaga :)
I'll have to look for the PSB performance on YouTube. I don't mind The Promise (I like it a lot actually), but I was still surprised it won over Viva La Vida, Mercy and American Boy (which didn't even make the final 5).
