“Chris Brown and Adele both had major comebacks tonight. The superstars were the big winners at the 2012 Grammy Awards, with Brown bringing the audience to their feet with a triumphant performance of his “Turn Up the Music,” and winning the trophy for Best R&B Album for F.A.M.E. Adele will have her hands full going home with no less than six awards—a full sweep that includes Album of the Year.” -BET
