from LATimes:

Soul traditionalist Adele triumphed over pop stars, a veteran rock act and an up-and-coming songwriter/producer to win the most prestigious Grammy prize, album of the year, for her “21.” It was her sixth award out of six nominations, a clean sweep.

Her “21″ was championed by critics and embraced by fans, as it was the top-selling album of 2011 and hasn’t left the top 10 on the U.S. pop charts since its release last February.

*What I didnt know was that even though she moved away from North London aged 9, Adele remains an ardent fan of her hometown Premier League football club Tottenham Hotspur. Check out what she told the Sun early last year:

“I’m not a fake Tottenham girl, I was born there. “The Spurs team were all in my hotel in Liverpool the other day, they were playing Everton. I was well excited, which I didn’t exactly hide when I clocked them.

“I saw Harry Redknapp. He looked at me like as if to go, ‘Oh God’. He didn’t say anything.

“I didn’t have my make-up on and he had no idea who I was. He just gave me a dirty look as if to say, ‘Can you please not cause a scene – please, just go away’!

“I was so excited. I am a real Spurs fan and let me tell you, this Beckham business is exciting. I’ve got a Spurs strip with Duchess 19 on the back, because everyone at work calls me Duchess, after Peggy Mitchell in EastEnders. I was trying to force Hometown Glory on them as the team tune too.

“I do love Aaron Lennon. My dog was almost called Aaron Lennon because he’s got little legs.”
