I want a full sweep. I want her to drop a couple of them damn things because she doesn't have enough arm space during the press conference :'( I can see AOTY, SOTY, ROTY, Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album (even though that one may be a maybe with Tony Bennett raping it for 2 decades with 10 wins in the last 19 years )

If she loses Best Pop Solo Performance I will personally send shit to the voters annually for a lifetime. She has absolutely no competiton in that category. She is about to destroy lives.

I think Adele is phenomenal. The critics love her. The industry loves her. Her commercial success is proof people love her. I hope she wins every Grammy she was nominated for. She's totally deserving of it--her album is one of the best to come in a really long time.

Her DVD is AMAZING! That bitch sure LOVES to chat with her audience and I would probably have the time of my life at her concerts. The set started out a bit "shaky" in the beginning but really picked up quickly. I was a little worried about how "depressing" she kept saying her songs were but once she started singing you forget what the commentary.
Standouts: "Turning Tables", "Take It All", "Love Song", "Chasing Pavements", and "Make You Feel My Love", in addition to the encores.
Grade: A- (iTunes Festival is pure PERFECTION!)

Ms. Adkins can just sit back, recuperate and continue to revel in The Year of Adele.

I am so happy Adele is getting all this success. She really deserves it. 21 is the modern day Jagged Little Pill.

I believe Billboard clarified it further than Yahoo by stating that this record applied only to albums which had debuted at #1. Most albums didn't debut in the Top 5 before 1991, so wouldn't be eligible to compete for this particular record, anyway. Still, a nice achievement for Adele. Total sales now stand at 12.8M worldwide. It should be over 14M by January 1.

Adele unbeatable at the Grammys?By Breeanna Hare, CNNDecember 2, 2011 (CNN) -- This week's special unveiling the top Grammy nominations was a 60-minute encapsulation of the year in music: There was Lady Gaga, of course, a Nicki Minaj sighting, a glimpse of Katy Perry and another of Bruno Mars. But the five-letter name on everyone's lips was Adele, the British singer who picked up six nominations and managed to steal the show without even being there. Screaming commenced when her name was mentioned, Entertainment Weekly reports, and the love was so widespread, her competition joined in. "She's the coolest, most down-to-earth woman, and of course she has a voice like an angel and her album is incredible," Bruno Mars, who's also up for six Grammys and is vying for album of the year with the singer, told CNN. Thinking about that, he joked, "Damn it, why am I up against Adele?!" Country singer Jason Aldean expressed his sympathies for "anybody who has to go up against Adele." He admitted, "I was actually hoping that if we did get a nomination, it wouldn't be any category with her in it." (His hopes came true: Aldean is up for best country solo performance, best country duo/group performance and best country album honors.) The 23-year-old Adele has had a banner year since releasing her second album, "21," in February, and her singles "Rolling In the Deep" and "Someone Like You" have been impossible to escape. (She's had to cancel her remaining 2011 appearances to have throat-related surgery but is expected to make a full recovery.) But does her success make her unbeatable? If not, then pretty close to it, industry observers say. Spin magazine's editor-in-chief, Steve Kandell, said he is fairly convinced. The Grammys can surprise you, he said, but Adele is a unique artist. Whereas some of her competitors may incite arguments about talent, "with Adele, you just have a singer, in the very classic sense," Kandell said. "She may not be your favorite, but you can't deny that she's good at what she does." Frankly, he's expecting the young star "to win everything that isn't nailed down. ... Every now and then there's a juggernaut that's the perfect mix of huge commercial success (the album recently went quadruple platinum) and critical acceptance." That's not to diminish the talents and achievements of the other players who are also in the running, said Bill Werde, Billboard's editorial director, but rather to view "21" as a different beast. "Kanye (West) put out a really good album; Kanye and Jay-Z put out a really good album; Bruno Mars has emerged as a really powerful songwriter; and Katy Perry this year set Billboard chart records. It's been a phenomenal year for music," Werde said. And yet, "When you talk about Adele's year, it's hard to make the case, from a recorded music perspective, that anyone else is even in the same arena," he continued. "What the Grammy voters tend to love are albums that are both critically successful and commercially successful, and she is an arrow in the heart of that bull's-eye this year. ... It's like Adele and everyone else when it comes to sales, and at the same time, she did it with an album that's incredible." To top it off, added MTV Hive's managing editor, Jessica Robertson, she's got the back story: "This album ('21') was born from heartache; she was lovelorn. She's an unlikely pop star in the first place, and then she goes on with this amazing voice to triumph," Robertson said. Basically, she's "served on a Grammy platter." Of course, there are no guarantees. Robertson said she sees the Foo Fighters bringing some heat for the industry darling in the album of the year category, and Werde noted that Grammy predictions are hit-or-miss. "To be honest, I'm expecting it to be a big night for Adele," Werde said. "(But) it's in the voters' hands, and if I've learned one thing about predicting Grammy votes over the last 10 years, it's that no one is particularly good at it." Interestingly enough, the artist consistently mentioned as the one who could have stepped on Adele's toes for album of the year is none other than Kanye West, who wasn't even nominated in that category. The 34-year-old rapper received seven nominations, including a song of the year nod for "All of the Lights," a category in which he'll face Adele's "Rolling In the Deep." But it was the album of the year miss for West's "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" that left many incredulous. "Kanye certainly deserved an album of the year nomination, and I was pretty surprised that he didn't," Robertson said. "I think if anyone could beat Adele in that category, it would be Kanye, or at least rival her. But he didn't really have the momentum with this album as with previous albums, and certainly not in comparison to Adele's '21.' " (Robertson also has a theory that West may have split the vote by also putting out another critically recognized album with Jay-Z, "Watch the Throne.") If West had been nominated, said Spin's Kandell, the race for the album of the year honor would've been a tight one. As it stands though, he said, "If I'm another nominee, I'm happy to be there." edition.cnn.com/2011/12/02/showbiz/music/adele-grammy-nominations/Great Article!

Adele's live dvd/cd is out now. Target: $13.99 Best Buy $12.99 Price Update! Now: Best Buy DVD: $14.99 Best Buy Blu-Ray: $22.99 The CD is no longer bundled with the Blu-Ray or DVD. Bummer. I should have bought it when the Blu-Ray/CD combo was like 17 bucks or whatever. Oh well, at least I have 21 to listen to. It's actually gotten a bit old for me at this point so I can let the people who somehow have ignored it all this time play catch-up now that it's getting all this Grammy love. I bought it on release date. Feels like ages ago now. I'm ready for another CD already.

Is there any chance of her doing a "Comeback" to the stage moment at the Grammy's? I mean performing. Her album keeps selling and selling. I'm surprised the indusrty isn't trying to find quality music that sticks at major formats. Her album is going to end up having WW and even US sales competing with the bigger sales of the 90's and early 2000's.

I am pretty sure she will clean house at the Grammy's... they love her, let's be honest. And they have all the reason in the world to - her songs are great, but what make them incredible is the fact that you can FEEL every word she is singing, it sinks into you and you can't help but know that she has felt what she is singing. There isn't anyone telling her to fake it, her voice tells a story. Pure god-given talent.
This album deserves to win every award it's nominated for.

I kind of hope "Rumour Has It" gets skipped over completely. It's not bad at all, but I just don't want to hear it on my radio all the time.

The single is a masterpiece. Grammy winner right there, ladies and gentlemen. Too bad it will never go anywhere on US radio but weirder things have happened! Excellent prediction and horrible prediction, haha

I kind of hope "Rumour Has It" gets skipped over completely. It's not bad at all, but I just don't want to hear it on my radio all the time. I read that RHI has been added on Radio One's playlist but I don't have a link. I hope it IS the 4th single cause it gets tons of radio airplay for a non-single. The singles chronology of this album has been pretty weird, at least in my country. After RITD, radio stations started playing SLY but I also heard both SFTTR and RHI quite often. Then, after SFTTR was officially released in Europe, I only heard that and RHI, although the latter to a lesser extend. But after SLY's video got released, radio stations jumped back on it and since then I've been hearing that song all the time on the radio, plus SFTTR and RHI. :'( :'(
