Jessica Carradine<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When I think about this year\u2019s Grammy\u2019s, the first person who comes to mind is
\nAdele. She was definitely the star of the show this year taking home a total of
\n6 Grammy awards. She won Record of the Year (\u201cRolling in the Deep\u201d), Album of
\nthe Year (\u201c21\u201d), Song of the Year (\u201cRolling in the Deep\u201d), Best Pop Solo
\nPerformance (\u201cSomeone Like You\u201d), Best Pop Vocal Album (\u201c21\u201d), and Best Short
\nForm Music Video (\u201cRolling in the Deep\u201d).<\/p>\n
However, her triumph did not come without troubles. Last January, during her promotional tour for her album 21<\/em>, she began to have voice problems.<\/p>\n \u201cI have never had any problems with my voice, ever. I\u2019ve had a sore throat here Soon after this happened, she went to see her doctor who diagnosed her with acute Besides her amazing voice, Adele\u2019s personality brings her a lot of attention. She is When she speaks, she is loud and honest, her heavy British accent making everything Adele cares a lot about remaining down to earth, keeping in touch with new music and In her future, Adele plans on taking a four or five year break to get a hold of After all that she\u2019s been through, from heartbreak to haemorrhages, Adele definitely <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jessica Carradine When I think about this year\u2019s Grammy\u2019s, the first person who comes to mind is Adele.

\nand there, had a cold and sung through it, but that day it just went while I
\nwas onstage in Paris during a radio show. It was literally like someone had pulled a curtain over it,\u201d Adele told Vogue<\/em> magazine.<\/p>\n
\nlaryngitis. She rested for a while, and then continued her tour. She went to
\nAmerica, and while she was there in May, she had her first haemorrhage; a burst
\nblood vessel on her vocal cord.\u00a0 Once it had healed, Adele continued her tour, until it happened again at her friend\u2019s wedding on October 1st<\/sup>.\u00a0 She
\ntook the advice of her own and other artists\u2019 managers, and went to see a
\ndoctor named Steven Zeitels, who is one of the best throat surgeons in the
\nworld. He discovered that she had a polyp on one of her vocal cords that
\nrequired surgery. As a singer, having any minor thing happen to your voice can
\nbe very stressful, but this was not minor, it was serious. And it was making
\nAdele extremely nervous. However, it turns out that many other singers, such as
\nJulie Andrews and John Mayer, have gone through the same procedure. Adele did
\nthe surgery, and performed for the first time since her recovery on the night
\nof the Grammy\u2019s. Her performance of \u201cRolling in the Deep\u201d was nearly flawless,
\nand it was obvious that her breathtaking, powerful voice had been restored.<\/p>\n
\nquirky, funny, and self-confident. \u201cPeople think that I\u2019m miserable. They are
\nreally surprised when they meet me that I\u2019m chatty and bubbly and quite
\ncarefree, really. I\u2019m the total opposite of my records,\u201d Adele said in an
\ninterview.<\/p>\n
\nshe says sound hilarious. Adele is not trying to be anything that she\u2019s not.
\nShe doesn\u2019t dance on stage or wear crazy outfits; she simply stands up and
\nsings. On 60 Minutes<\/em>, Adele told Anderson Cooper, \u201cI\u2019ve never seen magazine covers and seen music videos and been like, \u2018I need to look like that if I want to be a success\u2019. Never. I don\u2019t want to be some skinny-mini with my tits out. I really don\u2019t want to do it.\u201c And she doesn\u2019t need to either.<\/p>\n
\nnot getting caught up in all her fame. This is why, after the Grammy\u2019s, she got
\nherself a part time job sorting and labelling CDs in the back of a record store
\ncalled Rough Trade. Adele did this for herself, no matter what anyone thought.<\/p>\n
\nher life. She wants to write albums about happier topics. She has a new
\nboyfriend, Simon Konecki, who is 10 years older than Adele, but hopefully their
\nrelationship will work out. \u201cIf I am constantly working, my relationships fail.
\nSo at least now I can have enough time to write a happy record. And be in love
\nand be happy. And then I don\u2019t know what I\u2019ll do. Get married. Have some kids.
\nPlant a nice vegetable patch,\u201d Adele told Vogue
\n<\/em>magazine. It is hard to always be moving around, and never to have anytime
\nfor yourself; Adele just wants privacy and not to be treated any differently.<\/p>\n
\ndeserves those 6 Grammy awards that she won. Hopefully, Adele\u2019s iconic music
\nwill continue to be as popular and original as it has always been.<\/p>\n
