Wow, I am surprised at the comments. I guess it depends on your age, music taste etc. To each their own. That was a great concert/interview.
The whole show was exquisite. It is the first time Adele has been on a stage in 6 years, and she also felt she wanted to tell her fans what she has been through for the past 6 years and she felt safe with Oprah.
I actually get that. Oprah is gentle, uses slow ball questions, is very easy to talk to. The set she is using (on her own property) is so quiet and beautiful I would pick her too. No audience, no clapping or people staring at you.
The Griffith Observatory, the way it was set up, the amazing sunset only God could have provided before it got dark, the orchestra, everything about it was stunning, including Adele. She looked gorgeous.
Adele was a mess for a few years. Her marriage to Simon felt wrong to everyone right from go. I am so very happy for her that she stepped out of the limelight for so many years to work on herself, get sober, lose 100 pounds, admit she needed a divorce, learn to love herself. She is a whole new person in both appearance AND her new feelings about loving herself. That is very hard work and most people spend their life running from staring themselves in the face and doing the healing needed.
As far as her music, that is what you get from Adele. All her songs are ballad type, all are based on her own life. Yet, when she sings them, almost everyone can relate to some lyric to their own life. All of her albums are retrospective of her life. Pink's music is similar. Her songs are usually about her husband Carey, and their relationship, yet everyone can relate it to someone or something in their own lives.
I am so happy for her. She is only 33 years old, finally has it together, and I think she has a long career ahead of her because her fan base has stuck by since she was 19 and will only grow.
BIG underground, but not confirmed yet, info is that she is going to pick up the residency in Vegas that Celine Dion had to give up due to health conditions. I was going to see Celine. Adele would be a great replacement. I sure hope she takes it.
She is very talented, and I felt so sad when she said she felt like she would never stand on a stage again. This show was a beautiful return to music. I enjoyed it so much. The world needs lots of music right now.
Interesting fact: She has terrible stage fright. Still does, but she forces herself out there. If you notice, she got more calm and loser as the songs went on.
Just another interesting FYI for those that don't follow Chaz Dean on social media, he lives right at the bottom of the hill that observatory is on. It is where he walks his dogs. It is such an amazing view of Los Angeles. His house has a roof deck that oversees the entire valley. Awesome views. (and no, I am not giving his address away. He is on live IG a lot, chatting, and though we have seen the inside and the yard of his home, he is exceptionally keen on how to keep his exact home address protected from sight).
