Emeli Sandé 'upset by Brits treatment of Critics' Choice win'

Emeli Sandé has reportedly been upset by a lack of recognition for her 'Critics' Choice' win at the Brit Awards.
The 'Next To Me' singer was honoured during Tuesday's (February 21) ceremony at London's O2 Arena, having been named as this year's recipient in December.
However, sources have now claimed that Sandé felt "really disappointed" at being glossed over during the event as ITV struggled to keep on schedule.
"Emeli deserved her moment in the limelight in front of her peers, the industry and family," The Sun quotes an insider as saying.
"She'd been looking forward to it for months and was really disappointed when her win was not properly recognised. She's worked incredibly hard over the last year and what she has achieved has been phenomenal."
Sandé's reported complaint follows the furore over ITV's decision to cut off Adele during her Brits acceptance speech, a move that fellow singer Lily Allen described as a metaphor for sexism in the music industry.
ITV has since apologised for any offence caused to Adele.
