Adele. Oh Adele.



I went to the Adele concert at the Gallivan Center in SLC with the husband. Adele is my favourite, like has been for the past few years. Her music speaks to me. I love the simple acoustics, the abundance of piano and guitar, the gritty range in her voice and the heartache she sings about, there is something compelling about the raw emotion she sings with.

Right now you’re thinking, where did this person come from? This is not the usual tone in this blog.
I’m deep,sometimes, don’t hate.

Sometimes it’s important to convey the passion you feel about something, I feel passionate about Adele, often moved to tears … nah, I’m kidding. That was an over exaggeration, but I love her music, back on topic.

I screamed when the first song was Hometown Glory, a fav of mine. And then she sang Rumor Has It, My Same, Set Fire To The Rain, Turning Tables, Make you Feel My Love,  Don’t You Remember, One and Only, Right As Rain, a couple of covers, and not in that order.
I asked the hubs to record the entire rendition of Chasing Pavements and Someone Like You, because it’s brilliant when someone can belt out a song with so much anguish, be completely absorbed in the performance, then laugh and joke the minute it’s done, which she did perfectly.

We only paid $25 for the concert, originally this concert was supposed to be at The Depot two months ago but it was cancelled because she had laryngitis, so promoters jacked up the price another $25 for the postponed concert, STEAL FOR US!

I'm not sure when this love affair began, or if it will end, some may believe it is unhealthy, I think a dose of obsession does the soul a little bit of good. I look forward to 23, Adele.

RECOMMENDATION: If she is in your town, get tickets early, because it sells out fast. Maybe get a few extra, people were selling their tickets for up to 4 times the face value.

RATING: 5 cupcakes from The Sweet Tooth Fairy,  mmmmmm!

It is amazing how successful she is in this time of not really singing and all she does is really sing...there is nothing to not love about her :)
