Just a few minutes after winning Best New Artist, Smith returned to the stage to accept the Pop Vocal Album Award for his debut set, "In the Lonely Hour". "Before I made this record I was doing everything to try get my music to the world," Smith said. "I tried to lose weight and was making awful music. It was only until I started to be myself that the music flowed."
