There were crazy outfits, alternate personalities, curse-filled acceptance speeches and a lot more at the MTV Video Music Awards.

But, sometimes, it's all about the voice. Enter Adele.

The British sensation took home three trophies at the event, as well as non-stop praise from the country's leading artists. Said Lady Gaga during the pre-show: “She’s a breath of fresh air and she’s so exciting and her music is adding another dimension to radio that’s so important. She’s [also] a truly lovely person - which, to me, is always my favorite.”
