"Lily Allen has slammed the decision to cut short Adele&amp;#039;s acceptance speech at last night&amp;#039;s Brit Awards. The It&amp;#039;s Not Me, It&amp;#039;s You singer-songwriter believes that the incident served as a symbol of negative bias against women in the music industry.   Allen tweeted: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d rather hear adeles acceptance speech. I can&amp;#039;t say I&amp;#039;m surprised. It was like the music industry&amp;#039;s attitude to women played out as a metaphor.&amp;quot;  Other music stars, such as Kimberley Walsh and Mollie King, also took to the social networking site to express their dissatisfaction over the move. Girls Aloud&amp;#039;s Walsh commented: &amp;quot;Still can&amp;#039;t actually believe they cut Adele of last night!&amp;quot; followed by the hastag, &amp;quot;#baffled&amp;quot;.

Anyone else want to hear what @Adele had to say?? 10 o&amp;#039;clock news??...10 o&amp;#039;clock snooze!!!&amp;quot; Meanwhile, Professor Green wrote: &amp;quot;Can&amp;#039;t say I agreed with the cutting off of Adele&amp;quot; Host James Corden has already admitted that he was &amp;quot;upset&amp;quot; about having to stop the Grammy superstar, suggesting ITV ought to have delayed News at Ten.
