Adele

I did catch that. You go Adele.

I saw some of The Brits, moderately more fun that the Grammys I thought, especially Blur, though I still don't get this Adele at all, or at least why she's suddenly bigger than The Pope, can't for one second get my ears around what all the fuss is about with her, but good luck to her and her gazillions of fans

ILJP if I was Adele I'd tell those ex-boyfriends "You're right, come on over and get your cash." I'd do it just like The Joker in Dark Knight... sit there with a big pile of money. Say "Oh, how much would you like? You earned it!" Then I'd douse it in gasoline and burn the whole lot. Sorry, guys! I decided I didn't need that extra million. I'm rather rich, you see. Hope you end up in the poor house!

TheSound, I think Adele taps into the same mode that has been making waves for decades, from Aretha to Janis Joplin to Amy Winehouse. It has a purity to it that people latch onto.

I'm not surprised Adele did that. I was reading the ILJP Bible (Cosmo) and she seemed pretty feisty, confident and that she knew what she wanted and didn't give an F what people think. I don't get that from her sappy music.

Hopefully she won't go all Alanis on us from bitterness on her next album.

So I heard an interesting little tidbit on the radio today. According to what they said, every 7 seconds someone buys a copy of "21".

I believe it. I think it finally surpassed The Bodyguard soundtrack in consecutive weeks at number one. It has a ways to go to make it to the top though. Actually, and don't tell the rockers this, after the Grammys there was a spike in Adele's sales, as well as other buzzy artists from the show and the Grammy compilation itself. Adele was the "biggest gainer" of the week. Van Halen dropped to #6.

1. 21 - Adele
2. Whitney: The Greatest Hits - Whitney Houston
3. Now 41 - Various Artists
4. 19 - Adele
5. 2012 Grammy Nominees - Various Artists
6. A Different Kind of Truth - Van Halen

Last I checked Carole King's "Tapestry" has the record for most consecutive weeks at #1 for any female with 15 (I think) weeks. At this rate I won't be shocked if Adele breaks that though.

So totally didn't realize the Live at the Royal Albert Hall DVD included the CD. I need to read things when I buy them. Now I have two of the CD's. Oh well, I'll give it to my mom she's now into Adele.

I see this one hasn't been posted which is surprising since it seems to be the vocal standard by which aspiring singers set themselves to this year. It was performed twice last night on American Idol, not to mention the countless times it was used in auditions. Of course that doesn't lessen the appeal of Adele's version any less.

Elise Testone last night. I thought she killed it.

I was reading recently about Adele refusing to sleep alone in her £7 million mansion as she believes it is haunted.


Adele's new pad in Sussex

She is reportedly paying her former driver £100,000 a year to live with her as her bodyguard so she has company all the time in her 'spooky' abode.

I think maybe she should decamp to a nice little penthouse apartment, much less creepy!
