Adele calls out sex-driven singers

Image
Adele is up in arms when it comes to fellow pop superstars using sexed-up images to sell their songs. Ive seen them up close and they dont even look like that, she recently told U.K. paper The Sun . Exploiting yourself sexually is not a good look. I dont find it encouraging. Artists like Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Madonna are not afraid to wear skimpy and raunchy outfits when strutting down a red carpet or performing in front of thousands of adoring fans. In fact, Lady Gaga recently posted a photo of herself in nothing but her bra and underwear in response to rumors circulating about her weight gain. The Someone Like You songstress is quick to point out that she has never resorted to flashy outfits to draw attention to herself. She wants her music to be center stage, rather than her appearance. I just stand there and sing, Adele said, keeping the focus on her dynamo voice. Im not worried that Im a plus size and so much bigger than other artists. No matter what you look like t...

Adele will never do world tour over voice concerns

London, September 23 ( ANI ): Adele will never do a huge global tour because of fears that she could lose her voice. Doctors have warned the pregnant singer that her vocal cords could fail due to her gruelling workload. Last year she lost her ability to sing after a polyp was found on her vocal cords. The polyp was surgically removed. "It is basically a clean slate in my throat. It doesn't mean it won't happen again. If I decided to go on a 200-date tour, it will happen again through exhaustion," Adele had said. Her admission could be bad news for fans who long to see her in concert. (ANI)

Image
Posted: September 18, 2012 Adele is a gorgeous and immensely talented singer, one who is also, like many women nowadays, not an off-the-rack missy size and the star, who now has the cheddar to purchase all the high-fashion goods she liked, is said to have been approached by the brand Burberry to model. Vogue UK has a story about Adele, Burberry, and the brands lack of options for women over size 12. According to the fashion mag, Adele has been a Burberry fan from even before she was famous squirreling away her money when she was an unknown just to own a Burberry bag she bought herself.

Adele avoids towering heels

Sunday Sep 9 2012 Adele is "too nervous" to wear towering high heels. The British singer is renowned for her vintage dress sense and usually stays away from attention seeking outfits. Her stylist Gaelle Paul, who has worked with Adele since 2009, says she puts a lot of consideration into choosing footwear for the star. "I could say, 'Look at these amazing shoes,' but if they are 140mm high with platforms of 20mm, Adele would be too nervous wearing them," Gaelle told UK magazine Glamour. "She used to wear a 85mm heel. Now she wears a 90mm heel with a 10 or 20mm platform." Adele is so particular about her shoes that Christian Louboutin has made a mould of her foot so he has her exact measurements. Although Adele usually plays it safe when she is attending red carpet events or performing live, Gaelle still believes the 24-year-old has her own distinct sense of style. "She has a strong style - her hair and make-up are really strong - but in an odd...

Adele's '21' passes 'Thriller' for Top 10 chart longevity

Image
Last week, Adele s 21 album dropped out of the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 ranking of national album sales for the first time since it was released last year and subsequently turned into one of the biggest-selling albums in pop music history. Its exit from the Top 10 after 78 weeks bordered on the unnecessarily cruel: that left it tied with Michael Jackson s Thriller. This week, however, 21 has returned to the Top 10 for a 79th week, edging past Jacksons landmark collection. According to figures from the Nielsen SoundScan sales monitoring service, 21 logged an additional 23,000 copies last week, enough to nudge it back up two slots to No. 10. Overall, the album has sold 9.76 million copies in the U.S., and it appears to be certain to pass the 10 million mark before the end of the year. The Recording Industry Assn. of America has certified only 108 albums as having sold 10 million or more copies in the U.S. At 79 weeks, 21 now boasts the greatest longevity in the Top 10 in 50 years.
