Re: Adele

Brack,
Just LOVE the bike photo!!  Great interview. Anderson Cooper is one of my favorites, when it comes to politics and he reports, he stays neutral, like a Tim Russert style and he doesn't let his guests yell at each other.

Since its Valentine's Day and Adele knows about love...lyric quotes are under the clip...

Adele plays that remark down on her blog - " I’ve a few days off now, and then it’s the Brit Awards here at home and then I’m straight into the studio. BOYYAHH! 5 years? More like 5 days!"
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-17039684


We’re happy to confirm Adele has been nominated in three categories at the Brit Awards 2012 which will be held on 21st February in London.

British Female Solo Artist
British Album – 21
British Single – Someone Like You

Maybe but that's a bit of a broad stroke.I would bet there were other factors too.I bet I have seen a lot of overwieght ,drinkin ,smokin,singers who have never lost their voice.Should she take care of herself? Yes no brainer,but I aint playin voice doctor.

Re: Adele

Congratulations to Adele at last nights BRITS.
Best British Female Artist
Best Album - 21
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IqLCr-E … =endscreen

One sour/drama moment, she was cut off in mid- Best Album  acceptance speech, to make way for BLUR's live set - to boos from the audience - she then gave the finger to the 'suits'. She later apologised - and then the TV suits apologised back to her.  Do i hear a song coming...

The girl done good.  I was surprised to hear this norf Lahndun accent when she spoke - she looks completely different to how you think she'll sound!  I'm not her biggest fan but good for her.

Re: Adele

It's been a while since I've posted in this thread, but I'm glad lots of forum regulars are now hip to her extraordinary talent. She's definitely the real deal from a singing and songwriting perspective.
Can't wait to hear the follow up to "21", it should be interesting considering the emotions she must have gone through related to her vocal surgery.

Adele is just as gobsmacked at this news!
Some gossip - she's in the studio recording a soundtrack  for a BIG Brit film. I'm thinking, 007

Re: Adele

Hi Brack,

I recently saw Carole King being interviewed on CNN by Piers Morgan. Adele is the first female to top Carole King's record sales for Tapestry. Carole is an Adele fan, thinks she's fab and thought it was great...Carole said its time to pass the torch. I never knew Amy Winehouse was a Carole King fan. Piers said he knew that because either his brother or brother-in-law was Amy's sax player.

Will Adele feel need to top, 21 ? No! She's sitting pretty - her success  has afforded her the freedom to do what she likes now - whatever she does next - there will be a massive AdeleArmy behind her.

Yeah but thats the point Brack.........her army will want more of the same. They buy in to what she's given over 2 albums. So she turns out a Jazzy Etta James tribute and it bombs...............ooops 10 squillion sales gone. Thanks for the artistic freedom...but no thanks. just keep giving us want we want please.........we are your army. Oh and by the way the record company want another hit if you could manage it please.................
