Awards, there is no doubt about that. She won Best Pop Song and Best Album along
with everything in between, the gentleman who produced “Rolling In The Deep” won
Producer of the Year. I mean, Adele won everything and before she received the
biggest award of the night from one of the biggest divas in the world, Diana
Ross herself, she received a standing ovation from the entire audience at the
show. See her performance of “Rolling In The Deep” below which elicited that
crowd response thanks to Just Jared. So sorry it’s so bootleg, but no one’s got
