Yes. Yes. Yes. Last night in London, soul singer Joss Stone of S-Curve Records was named Best British Urban Act and Best British Female Artist at the Brit Awards.

Lisa Stansfield presented her with the award for Best British Female Solo Artist.

Jazzy B presented Joss with her award as Best British Urban Act.

Both awards were considered by many as surprise wins for the teenage super star.

Best British Female Artist

The 17 year-old from Devon, whose voice has been called a mix between "a white" Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin, found herself stepping up on stage to receive an award that could have easily gone to last year's debutante Natasha Bedingfield, R 'n' B singer Jamelia, London's feisty singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse or the alternative rock singer PJ Harvey.

The queen of pop said on stage:

I don't know what to say.

Thank you all you guys for voting for me.

Best British Urban Act

In the biggest surprise of the night, the blonde beauty beat former Mercury Music Prize winner Dizzee Rascal, Jamelia and The Streets as this year's Best British Urban Act.

Where Jamie Cullum filled stadiums in the UK before moving on to establish himself in small nightclubs in the U.S., Joss became a success in the United States before hitting it big in Britain.

After Robbie Williams won Best Song of the Past 25 Years, a new category introduced this year to mark The Brits twenty-five year anniversary, Stone and Williams sang a duet of his smash hit, Angels.

Other performers at The Brits included duets between Snoop Dogg and Pharrell Williams, Jamelia and Lemar, and siblings Natasha and Daniel Bedingfield.

Chris Evans hosted the ceremony called Brits 25 which took place at London's Earls Court.

The 25th celebration of musicians not only recognizes artists from the UK.

Artists like Gwen Stefani were recognized as this year's international female solo artist of the year.

Scissor Sisters got the award from their album Scissor Sisters.

The Brits were first launched in 1977, but have taken until now to reach a 25th celebration due to the five-year gap between the first and second ceremonies.

Brit is not short for British.

It is an acronym for the British Record Industry Trust, the music business charity that supports young artists.

Congratulations to one of our favorite artists -- not just in Britain or the U.S. -- but in the world.

Joss, we are grateful for the songs you have brought into our lives.

For all the fun-filled moments at home, in our car or on foot, we're "diggin' on you."

We look forward to also cheering you on this Sunday night at the Grammys here in America.

Inspire & Be Inspired.

Here's to healthy, adventuresome, soulful, "The Best of Brits 25" living!
