  Adele triumphs at annual Brit Awards in London February 22, 2012 - 11:11 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Just over a week after her spectacular sweep at the Grammys, British soul diva Adele triumphed on home soil Tuesday, Feb 21, at the annual Brit Awards in London. The 23-year-old picked up two awards - including the prestigious British album of the year - to add to the six Grammys she won in Los Angeles, cementing her status as one of Britain's most successful pop exports in years. Adele - whose career was threatened last year by a throat illness - claimed British female solo artist and best album for "21," which topped the charts in Britain and the United States. Accepting the best album gong, she said: "Nothing makes me prouder than coming home with six Grammys and then coming home and winning British album of the year. "I'm so proud to be British and to be flying the flag." The singer also thanked her record company "for letting me be the kind of artist that I've always wanted to be," and her fans. "No one's ever made me feel like I have to be any different, so thank you very much," she added, AFP reported.
