Miss Adele is still slaying the music charts worldwide. And this level of domination equals more press, which I’m all for; especially if that means more magazine covers! The latest being cover girl for the June/July “Hot” issue. Fitting, of course.

Very glad to see Miss Adele doing some TV promo in the states. More, please. Thank you.
I love that both Duffy and Adele are giving fans a taste of their new material by performing songs from their albums (that aren’t the current radio/single release) during their TV performances. Usually here in the states, artists only perform the song that’s currently out or an all-time hit. Love this!

Good music is coming back with a vengeance lately; a trend I’m happy to see continue into early 2011! Next up is British soul singer Adele who, with the voice of an angel, is sure to surpass the success of her first album, 19. The follow-up effort is titled 21 and will be released January 24th in the UK and February 22nd, in the US.
Adele just announced the 1st single as “Rolling In The Deep”, and I can’t wait to hear it!
Here’s what she has to say about the new album:
“I’m very excited, nervous, eager, anxious but chuffed to announce my new album! It’s taken a while and it knocked me for six when writing it. It’s different from “19”, it’s about the same things but in a different light. I deal with things differently now. I’m more patient, more honest, more forgiving and more aware of my own flaws, habits and principles. Something that comes with age I think. So fittingly this record is called “21”. The whole reason I called my first album “19” was about cataloging what happened to me then and who I was then, like a photo album you see the progression and changes in a person throughout the years”.
A few months ago, VH1 announced that it would be reviving its Divas franchise. I began speculating about which artists I would most like to see. And by “artists”, I mean vocalists and real singers. I do not mean entertainers. I want females up there that can SANG!
Looks like VH1 feels the same way as the September 17th show from the Brooklyn Academy of Music Howard Gilman Opera House in Brooklyn, NY will feature Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis, and Adele. In their transparent attempt to gain ratings from the tween crowd, they also selected Miley Cyrus.
If they want someone from the realm of country, it should have been someone like Carrie Underwood, but I see what they’re doing. Miley isn’t terrible, but alongside bonafide singers like Kelly, Leona, and Adele, it’s clear she isn’t in the same league. Then again, there’s always a questionable performer or two for the Divas show. I guess Miley’s it this time around.
If I can take you back to my thoughts on this, back in April, you’ll see I wasn’t off in my predictions:
I would think, since the last Divas, singers that should be consider include Duffy, Adele, Leona Lewis, Kelly Clarkson, Pink, and Fergie.
Man, I’m good!
Someone I think would be invited purely for the media attention is Rihanna. I love the girl’s songs as she is a pop music machine! She’s also in the direct eye of the media due to the Chris Brown situation (still smh at that), so Viacom may seek to take advantage of that. They’ve done it before. Other people who do not need to be invited: Britney, Ciara (I still love her though), Taylor Swift, and Miley Cyrus and all the current Disney ’stars’.
Called it.
