I'm surprised you read the story, given how much you hate Adele. I read enough to gather info so I could drag her Karen ass.

Well, at least she was 100% honest: she cancelled the show for no valid reason, and the decision was driven by vague and inchoate artistic whims on her part. Which are completely irrelevant when people have paid good money and traveled long distances to see her stand there with a mic and sing. This had nothing to do with COVID as first stated. And surely, when rehearsing the show for months, she could have figured this out before the final dress rehearsal.
“The first couple of months was really, really hard,” Adele says. “I was embarrassed. But it actually made my confidence in myself grow, because it was a very brave thing to do. And I don’t think many people would have done what I did. I’m very proud of myself for standing by my artistic needs.”
Unprofessional, selfish, disrespectful and completely out of touch. Not sure how she gets "brave" from this.
This leaves a bad taste and is the kind of thing that sticks. It will not reflect well on her next era or her brand.

Yeah she thinks she's brave, when in reality she's trash for what she did to people and their hard earned money.

She could have at least had the decency to break a hip or something. 🤚

It's okay to change your mind. Is what it is. Shawn Mendez just canceled his whole tour to get his mental right. I'm sure the people got thier money and accommodations refunded in an appropriate fashion. If the ADELE wasn't feeling it...she wasn't feeling it!

I’m on the fence, part of me appreciates the honesty, while at the same time Im thinking - whatever the reason is, don’t lie about it and then come out with the truth (with something like this). Because now it just leaves a sour taste in peoples minds and you can’t be trusted. Either be honest and up front or go to your grave with that s**t. This looks really bad on her part. She can cancel or change for whatever reason, but a whole bucket of lies to cover up the real reasons is just lame and insulting to your fans WHO MADE YOU RICH.

People doesn't expect Madonna/Beyoncé level extravaganza from her so she should've just sang for the fans who've traveled there for the first few shows.

Doubt many refunds were given for that. Though I’ve been there, having had a Gaga show cancelled as I was about to leave for the venue. I made the most of the trip anyway, having had flown to the city it was in, and then rebooking when it was rescheduled (which tbh set me back a lot more, but I had the choice not to). The other time she cancelled was weeks in advance, so while flights and stuff were booked, we decided to make a trip out of it anyway since it was in NYC. Still a hassle but if a performer can’t do a show, they can’t do a show. It’s a risk that comes with getting a ticket, especially now in the covid age.

The thing for Adele is that now expectations are going to be way higher for this. And I fear she's not going to meet the expectations, or people will say "She cancelled for this?" because as we've mentioned she stands and sings. Only at the London shows did she have a 30 second simple choreography (at most) which was added.
I'm also a little pissed I couldn't get tickets to her new dates... so. haha

Yeah I find it weird how she pats herself on the back for "sticking with her artistic vision" or whatever. She's lucky the public doesn't care and her talent far outweighs all the fuckery going on related to her Vegas residency, because man... she's basically admitting the first announcement where she cried about "half her team" having COVID was a complete lie and that is not a good look.
I think canceling in the first place was odd—Adele had two giant productions for TV around her album release and both of them were just her standing in pretty gowns and singing. it's not like people are expecting anything else, really. This all makes me more and more inclined to think cancelations had more to do with Adele specifically hiring non-union workers more than anything. Maybe even a great resignation situation?
Speculations aside, I agree that the expectations will have risen higher for this show. I hope people won't be disappointed when it's just Adele standing and singing with a fountain or whatever the fuck running in the back.

I don't think they'll be disappointed, it's just been so long since she performed live(with COVID and pandemic times)

I’m sure since she is a simple performer in a way, that her show/backdrop will be stunning for each song. I’m sure she thinks, if I just stand there mostly, I gotta give them something jaw-dropping during it all. Speaking from someone who’s never watched her shows, so this is probably redundant lol

I didn't bother checking 30 out. Idk why maybe it's bc I'm getting older and can't sit through an entire album like I did before unless it's by one of my faves. Anyways, today I heard a song on the radio that made me feel nostalgic and almost serene despite this being the first time I had ever heard it. I was sure the singer was Adele but then I thought she'd never make a song like this therefore I assumed it was someone else that sounded just like her. My phone died so I couldn't Shazam it. When I went home I googled the one line I had memorized and turns out it actually was Adele and the song was called Cry Your Heart Out. What in the 19 was that? It definitely has that vintage Adele sound but it doesn't sound dated at all. Literally her best song ever and now I feel like a fool for missing out on 30 all this time

If I remember correctly, it wasn't a song many loved when the album first came out but it's definitely a good song. The album also has some of the best vocals of her career if you are into that!

She only needs the T in EGOT. C'mon girl, the breaks in between your albums should be enough time to come up with some sort of play or musical thing lol.

Her special won 4/5 categories. That's huge! Adele, herself, has gotten an Emmy! She stays winning, even in her "flop" era! QUEEN SHIT!

J. HUD is fuming right now! With Emmy Win, Adele Just Needs Tony Award to EGOT Adele is one step closer to achieving EGOT status after winning the Emmy Award for outstanding variety special (pre-recorded) for her CBS special, “One Night Only.” With multiple Grammy Awards under her belt and an Academy Award for best original song, the singer and songwriter only needs a Tony Award to achieve the elusive EGOT. It is a title given to artists who have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony. The special aired last November and included a new sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey. It was billed as her “first televised wide-ranging conversation about her new album ’30,’ the stories behind the songs, life after divorce, weight loss and raising her son.” On divorce and family, she told Winfrey, “I was just so disappointed for my son. I was so disappointed for myself, and I thought I was gonna be the one that stopped doing those bloody patterns all the time.” Adele opened the special with her Grammy award-winning song, “Hello.” It was her first performance in six years. She went on to preview three tracks from her fourth studio album, “I Drink Wine,” “Hold On” and “Love Is a Game.” “One Night Only” earned a total of five nominations including directing for a variety special, lighting design/ lighting direction for a variety special, sound mixing for a variety series or special and technical direction/ camerawork/ video control for a special. Adele has now jumped ahead of Lady Gaga, who was also nominated in the category for her special with Tony Bennett, “One Last Time: An Evening With Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga.” Only 17 people have managed to achieve EGOT status. The group includes Audrey Hepburn, Rita Moreno and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Most recently, Jennifer Hudson joined the EGOT club on June 13 after winning the Tony Award for best musical as a producer on “A Strange Loop.” news.google.com/articles/CAIiECTrMTa8NgvvhNGejtRnUJ4qFwgEKg8IACoHCAowraj2AjC5-iIwqYhb?uo=CAUiANIBAA&hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen

I wouldn't be surprised if 30 is still a big winner at the Grammys. It seems the industry is still crazy over Adele.

I hope the Emmy sweep is an indicator of a Grammy sweep. Perhaps her Vegas shows will reignite the era again.

Clearly, NARAS and NATAS are two different bodies, so the voting will not necessarily overlap, if at all. But I do think people are overstating Adele's "decline" within the industry. Tonight proved that she is still very much well-liked. I can totally see NARAS showering her win a ton of awards, even if she doesn't sweep every category like the last two times.

The music awards are way more crowded than the awards for one off TV Specials too.
The show was verh well done. Glad it won.
