Emeli Sandé and Ben Howard were the big winners at the 2013 BRIT Awards, on a night when singer-songwriters trumped rock and pop stars and performers often outshone the award winners.
Sandé picked up the big award, the MasterCard British Album of the Year, at the ceremony, held Wednesday at the O2 Arena in London. Roxy Music's Bryan Ferry presented her with the award for Our Version of Events, the biggest-selling album in the UK in 2012. She also picked up British Female Solo Artist and closed the show with a performance of "Clown," solo at her piano, and "Next to Me," featuring a full band and a gospel-style choir.
I think I'm a very unlikely pop star," she said backstage after her British Album win. "This is an album I made because I didn't have the confidence to say these things in person. So many people connected with this album and it makes me feel incredible."
