I saw Adele perform on the Ellen DeGeneres show a couple times and LOVED her voice! It was love at first hear. :)

When I heard the song Someone Like You feels like I wrote the song. Everytime I play Adele 21 it's like my life completely pass in front of me. Describes it so powerfully.

Well, I really don't know why. It was so long ago (2008) ... I saw her on YouTube through a friend. Played her songs over and over... Then she came out with Rolling in the deep and I can just remember loving this song before it touched radio and it only had a few thousand views. NOW! It has HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF VIEWS! Just shows things get better with age :)

A friend was living in London in 2010 and when she returned to Brazil brought with her the album 19, the first time I heard I was impressed with that voice! after that the songs of her never stopped playing on my ipod. In 2011 I started watching her interviews and her personality made ​​me love it! is amazing how the covers she sings and the music gets better! I love her!

The first time I heard from Adele was on the radio. I was fascinated by her voice from the beginning on. She really touches my heart with her voice and her charisma. She is so adorable. Every day I am listening to her songs and most of the time I am watching her DVD. My two bunnies love her too :-). Every time I´m watching the DVD and they come to my living room they lay down in front of my television and watch her concert too :-) (the red carpet is only for my bunnies, normally there is a dark brown laminate):

I first heard Chasing Pavements on radio back in 2008, liked the song but didn't really take much notice. I watched her performance at the Grammys and remember thinking "Oh, she can sing live" (HA - understatement).

Didn't hear from her again until the Rolling in the Deep video appeared on youtube (I'm talking less than a million views). Loved the song and had it on repeat until the following February when she performed Someone Like You at the BRITs. THAT is when I really took notice, bought her album the day after and she became my favourite artist within a week!

Watched her on Graham Norton and she became my favourite person full stop! Then I got all stalkerish and watched any video I could of her on youtube and bought 19 after listening to 21 for months. Now I know every song she's ever released off by heart. So happy she's become the most successful musician for a decade, she truly deserves it!

** In fact, I lied in the last post. I didn't hear from her again until Gamu on X factor sang Make You Feel My Love, after which I looked the song up and initially thought it was Adele's :) Adele's version went back up to No. 4 on the singles chart I think, the timing of which was a bit spooky, almost like a sign of the chart dominance that was to come haha

So last year when Adele 21 didnt even come out yet the bowling team I was on was playing Rolling in the Deep and I can't remember that well but I don't think this was the main reason why I started to like Adele. During May, when Rolling in the Deep was #1 I would wake up for school and the morning show called "The Today Show" does a minute thing where they show the top songs in the US. When I saw Rolling in the Deep it was a strange feeling I guess, I liked it alot and started paying more attention to the song. It was funny to since before this I would not listen to any english music at all and all I would listen to is J-pop which is Japanese songs if you didnt know.

After seeing Rolling in the Deep on TV, i heard it multiple times on the radio and that is when I looked it up on youtube and listened to it on repeat (still do). But after Rolling in the Deep, I still haven't listened to her other songs until someone from online showed me to her SLY performance on the Brit Awards. At first I wasn't completely hooked onto the song but it did open the door to listening to her other songs and thats when I started to listen to all her music. :D

After that I started going to Billboard to see how she is doing on the charts which led me here :D

What got me interested in Adele is actually an interesting, but somewhat rambling, story.

Let me start by saying that I used to NEVER listen to music. I new some songs, sure, but I didn't have an iPod, I didn't want an iPod, and I didn't want any CDs. I'm somewhat home schooled (long story about how I'm only SOMEWHAT home schooled) so I don't get a lot of interaction with the outside world. One day, I had the idea that maybe I should listen to popular music to help me stay in the loop. I turned on KISS FM and then I quickly shut it off. I heard some strange rap artist I've never heard of, and then I heard Ke$ha... Not exactly deep music. Now it's important for me to say at this point that even though I never listened to music, I watched American Idol, just like every other American. I was pretty disappointed by the season until I heard Haley Reinhart perform Rolling In The Deep. At the time, I wasn't such a big fan of Haley, until she sang that fateful song. I thought, "Hey, this is a pretty good song!" And then Jennifer Lopez said something about it being the number one song in the country, and the number one album. That made my heart drop. I thought it was another stick figure, over-sensualized pop star. And then she said Adele's name. I thought I had found the artist that I had been looking for for so long! I'll try to keep this backstory short... I had been watching So You Think You Can Dance when I heard a song I really liked by an artist with a really strange name and I had forgotten about it until I head Jennifer mention Adele. The very next day, I went to Amazon.com to check out Adele's music. What I saw discouraged me again. With the album name being 21, and the picture of what looked like, at a glance, like a weird robot, I thought Adele was some weird electromusic group. I almost closed the webpage, but then I remembered what Haley had sang, and I changed my mind. I clicked on 21, and the I clicked on the little blue triangle next to Rolling In The Deep. I hear, "...keeps me thinking, that we almost had it all. The scars of your love, they leave me breathless, I can't help feeling, we could have had it a-" and I stopped the music. I knew that I was about to hear an amazing song, but I wanted the whole experience. I went to Youtube and what I saw shocked me. I went in expecting another Katy Perry, or another Lady Gaga, and boy was I wrong.An average-size woman sitting in a chair, not dancing around in scantily clad outfits. The best part was her voice. Her angelic voice... I was thrilled. That day, I must have hit the replay button about a million times. After obsessively listening to RITD, I went to Amazon to hear a bit of the rest of them, and I decided that moment to buy the album. After that, I became a music junkie, and everything I do has some amount of music involved in it. Even though I have so many new songs and albums that I have listened to, Adele has remained my favorite. Thanks for reading this incredibly long post... I promise they won't all be like this XD! Oh yeah, and sorry about my spelling... I can't spell to save my life!!! Oh yeah, one last bit of info I forgot to mention was to this day, I still have no idea who that artist was that I loved from SYTYCD...
