Are you kidding me? This will be talked about years from now:

Profumo (1963)
BCCI (1991)
Adele unscrupulously cut short (2012)

i'm sure she wins enough awards anyway to be honest!... i don't understand why people like her so much, sure she can sing but she's pretty boring...
give someone more interesting a chance
oh and whilst i'm hating, james corden seems a bit of a tit

i think its a bit harsh, i mean she had a whole speech prepared probaly, and its pretty embarassing in front of loads of fellow celebs and millions of viewers. james had to do the same to jessie j wen she was about to rant about how she was a 'coach' not a 'judge' on some new tv show

Pity they didn't cut this thread off.

I don't see why they couldn't have overrun and the news pushed back a few minutes. They seem to manage it when its a football match.

Adele will never forgive

How incredibly grown up and mature of her.
"You didn't move News At Ten for me to give a second speech so I'm taking all the toys"
Perhaps her next album will be called 5

Brilliant!

Any sympathy I had for her at the time is fast evaporating.

She said she was annoyed she wasn't able to thank the fans. How about you thank them now? It's not that hard.

This thread is still going???

First off I'd like to say that I have no issue with Adele for giving the Brits suits the finger. If that's how she felt then I'm happy that she expressed herself that way to make the point crystal clear.

But now it appears to be veering off into pure self indulgence.
Now other celebrities are jumping on the bandwagon.

But it's interesting that I'm not seeing these celebrities so outspoken about the treatment of Emeli Sandé.
If it was wrong to cut Adele short then shouldn't it be more wrong that they cut Emeli Sandé out altogether and spoke to Jessie J instead?
Or is it all about status and perceived privilege based on how famous you are?
If so then it's not really a moral stance based on real principles is it?

Are these celebs criticising what happened to Emeli Sandé?
Is Adele criticising what happened to Emeli Sandé?

No? Then perhaps it's time for them to STFU then as they haven't got a leg to stand on other than a self-serving sense of entitlement.

Adele has had all the tea and sympathy she could possibly need and I agreed that it was a poor show to cut her off when she had only just started speaking.
But the victim status doesn't wash with me anymore when there is hardly anybody speaking out in favour of Emeli Sandé.

If it's wrong for one then it's wrong for all.

To be fair, that story doesnt include a single direct quote from Adele... its quite possible that she's not as bothered as people are making out?? just a thought

Great articulate post!! You spoke the thruth. I felt more sorry for Emeli Sande. Other past critic choice winners took to the stage to collect their awards. Why is it different this year? She deserved to collect her award.

You've said everything I think.

It is true that Adele isn't directly quoted in this article, but she's allowed the situation to be milked all week, which may or may not be deliberate. She's been complicit to the milking of the situation and it wouldn't be at all hard for her to prove she is down to earth by reminding everyone that it really wasn't a big deal. No-one died. SHe got two awards, the chance to sing and a lot of applause.

Looks like Romney is a fan of her approach to diplomacy.
