Is anyone looking forward to the Grammys? I might actually watch them this year (I’m 0 for ~~) just because I want to see some cutaways to Beyonce and Lady Gaga’s bitchfaces when Adele sweeps. Adele is going to sweep, right? Oh, wait. Sunday is Downton Abbey night. While I love Adele, I need mah Downton. Still, I will tune in to see Adele’s 60 Minutes interview with Anderson Cooper just before the Grammys. CBS has been releasing parts of the interview throughout the week, and it sounds really, really awesome. Adele doesn’t just have a great singing voice – she has a really sweet little accented speaking voice too. Here’s the video of her talking about her voice and how difficult it was for her after her throat surgery, and how much she loves to cuss.
And here’s video of Adele talking about body image and her image as a performer and singer. She says, in part, “I’ve never seen magazine covers or music videos and been like ‘I need to look like that to be a success.’ I don’t want to be some skinny mini with my tits out. I really don’t want to do it and I don’t want people confusing what it is that I’m about. I just stand there and sing. I don’t do stunts or anything. I’m just writing love songs. I’m not trying to be pop. I’m not trying to be jazz. I’m not trying to be anything. I’m just writing love songs and everyone loves a love song.” Oh, Adele. I love you, girl.
In this video, she talks about how excited she is to perform at the Grammys and how she will totally “sh-t herself”. That made Anderson giggle.
And here is THE BEST THING EVER. 60 Minutes just released this – Adele singing “Rolling In the Deep” acapella to Anderson. I wish there was a cutaway to his face as she sang to him. That’s the only thing that would make this video more amazing:
