    THE 57th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday were a mixture of old songs, new faces and upsets, as Sam Smith, a 22-year-old British singer barely known to American audiences a year ago, won three of the top four prizes, and Beck became the dark-horse victor of album of the year.

    Smith took best new artist as well as both record and song of the year for "Stay With Me", a moody, lovelorn ballad that became a smash on pop radio stations.
