Jessie J Wins Big at Mobo Awards

British star Jessie J was the toast of the U.K.’s Music of Black Origin Awards (MOBOs) on Wednesday after winning four top honors.

The “Price Tag” hitmaker was named Best U.K. Act and Best Newcomer, while her track “Do It Like A Dude” was hailed as Best Song and “Who You Are” claimed Best Album.

Soul sensation Adele also went into the 2011 ceremony in Glasgow, Scotland as a multiple nominee – but she walked away with just one prize, for Best R&B/Soul Act.

The annual event featured performances from Jessie J and R&B icons Boyz II Men, while Amy Winehouse’s goddaughter Dionne Bromfield sang a moving rendition of the tragic star’s “Love Is A Losing Game.”
