Adele Sings (in Public) for First Time Since Surgery

Here's a bit of good news for the music industry and fans alike:Adele's voice is fine. More than fine, actually, and in a "60 Minutes" preview aired Friday morning on*"CBS This Morning,"*the soul-pop star sang three verses -- a cappella style -- of her hit song, "Rolling in the Deep."

It was the first time Adele has sung in public since throat surgery in early November and came at the request of interviewer Anderson Cooper. In the "60 Minutes" interview, she also talks about when she first realized there was something wrong with her voice and describes how she managed to communicate without speech.

"It was really hard," she says in the clip. "I love talking… I had a note pad and an application on my phone. You talk the words into it and then it speaks it. The great thing is, I love to swear… and I found one where you can swear, so I could get my point across."
*
The interview airs on CBS before the Grammys, where she's up for six nominations, including album and song of the year.
*
Adele's throat problems have plagued her throughout the past year. On Oct. 7, Adele was set to kick off a string of U.S. tour dates -- rescheduled from a June bout of laryngitis -- but announced that she would be unable to perform due to the vocal cord hemorrhage. It was revealed in late She had surgery in early November at Massachusetts General Hospital under the direction of the same surgeon who performed a similar procedure on Aerosmith's Steven Tyler.

Adele Officially Confirmed for Grammys Performance

After weeks of speculation, it has finally been announced that Adele will be performing at the 54th annual Grammy Awards on Feb. 12, marking her first live performance since undergoing vocal surgery last year.

"I'm immensely proud to have been asked to perform at this year's GRAMMY Awards," said Adele in a statement. "It's an absolute honor to be included in such a night, and for it to be my first performance in months is very exciting and of course nerve-racking, but what a way to get back into it all."

The "Rolling In The Deep" songstress joins previously-announced performers Jason Aldean, Kelly Clarkson, Glen Campbell, The Band Perry, Blake Shelton, Coldplay, Rihanna, Foo Fighters, Bruno Mars, Paul McCartney, Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift. LL Cool J is signed on to host.

Earlier today (Jan. 31), Adele tweeted about her upcoming performance. "Ima be, Ima be singing at the Grammys. It's been so long I started to forget I was a singer! I can't wait, speak soon xx," she wrote.

The two-time Grammy winner is nominated for six awards this year, including Album Of The Year, Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year.

The Grammy Awards take place at the Staples Center in L.A. and air on Feb. 12 from 8-11:30 p.m. (ET/PT) on CBS.

Adele's '21' Hits 20th Week at No. 1, Van Halen Debuts at No. 2

by Keith Caulfield, L.A. February 15, 2012

Thanks to a Grammy Awards-fueled gain, Adele's "21" album beats out Van Halen's new "A Different Kind of Truth" for the No. 1 slot on the Billboard 200 chart.

Adele's "21" sold 237,000 in the week that ended on Feb. 12 (the day of the Grammys) -- posting a gain of 95%. Van Halen's "A Different Kind of Truth" arrives in the No. 2 position with 187,000. Adele won six Grammy trophies on the Sunday night ceremony -- including album, record and song of the year -- and performed on the broadcast. It was her first stage performance since undergoing throat surgery last year.

With 20 weeks at No. 1, it marks the longest run at the top of the chart since "The Bodyguard" spent 20 weeks at No. 1 in 1992-1993. It's quite likely "21" will easily net a 21st frame atop the tally next week, once a full week of Grammy impact is felt.


Adele is also found at No. 9 with her debut set, "19," selling 36,000 (up 103%). It's the first time an act has had two albums in the top 10 since March 19, 2011, when Justin Bieber occupied the Nos. 4 and 8 slots with "Never Say Never: the Remixes" (EP) and "My World 2.0," respectively.
 
Recent reports have her coming back earlier than five years

Need more examples of Adele's continued chart dominance?

To recap, here are some of the records that Adele has already attained:

- "21" has spent the most weeks - 23 - at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for an album by a female artist.

- "21" spent its first 39 weeks on the Billboard 200 in the top five, passing Michael Jackson's "Bad" (38 weeks, 1987-88) for the most consecutive weeks in the top five dating to an album's debut.

- The set's lead single "Rolling in the Deep" appeared on 12 Nielsen BDS-based Billboard airplay charts, including those covering pop, rock, R&B/hip-hop and even Latin formats, making it the most widely crossed-over hit of the past 25 years.

- "Someone Like You" became the first song featuring only vocals and piano accompaniment to top the Hot 100.

- Following her breakout 2011, Adele became the first woman to sweep three of Billboard's signature year-end honors in a single year: top artist, top Billboard 200 album and top Hot 100 song.

Here's another.

On this week's Hot 100, "Deep" spends a 63rd week on the list and "Someone" remains charted for a 37th week, making for an even, and fitting, 100 weeks on the Hot 100 combined for the two former No. 1 songs.

No artist had previously charted two songs concurrently on the Hot 100 whose total chart weeks reached at least 100 weeks.

IDK if a "happy" Adele will make such great music like a "sad" Adele.. ;)
 
Although I have her 2 CDs and Chasing Pavements and Daydreamer are my favorites - I still cannot comprehend the hype surrounding her vocals. Agreed that she can sing and color her phrasing with emotions, but I dont see any spectacular reason that sets her apart from lets say, Eva Cassidy or even the superb Bonnie Raitt.

It's also the fact that Adele is powerhouse vocalist as well. She has one of the most powerful voices in the business currently. Combine that with the fact that she currently has a hugely successful CD and she sings live, Adele is going to receive a lot of praise for her vocals.
 
Both of Adeles albums are in the Top 20 year(s) after the official release dates..Yey
 
I'm going to get Adeles first album on Friday! I just hope I won't go into Adele overload and get tired of her :(
