Adele taking five years off from music

After her Grammy triumph Adele has revealed plans to take a five-year break from music to focus on her relationship.
The Rolling in the Deep singer wants to focus on spending time with new beau Simon Konecki because when she has prioritised her career in the past it has led to heartbreak.
Asked about her future plans, she told US Vogue magazine : 'I am f***ing off for four or five years. If I am constantly working, my relationships fail.
'So at least now I can have enough time to write a happy record. And be in love and be happy.

'And then I don't know what I'll do. Get married. Have some kids. Plant a nice vegetable patch.'
The 23-year-old singer said she is a good girlfriend because she likes to cook, laugh and enjoys sex.
She told the new issue of America's Vogue magazine: 'I love a bit of drama. That's a bad thing. I can flip really quickly.

'I am not bipolar, but I go from, 'Oh, my God, I love you' to, 'Get the f**k out of my house!' really quickly. And I never sit there and talk about it. I give them the silent treatment.
'They're like, 'Tell me what I've done so I can say sorry!' What else? It used to be that I loved a drink a bit too much. But I don't drink no more.
'The good things: I am attentive. I will do anything for my man. I am a good cook. I'm funny. Always want to have sex - Well, most girls don't!'

Adele made her live comeback following surgery on a throat hemorrhage at the Grammy Awards on Sunday and credits Simon - who accompanied her to the event - for helping her recover from the major procedure.
The 'Someone Like You' singer - who went home with six prizes from the ceremony - said: 'He's wonderful. And he's proud of me, but he don't care about what I do or what other people think. He looks after me. I don't think I would have gotten through the recovery for my surgery if it hadn't been for him.'

Adele has admitted that her recent vocal ailments had her despairing, but following the operation on her vocal cords, she had the opportunity to stock of things.

In an interview with Vogue magazine given in December, the 23-year-old describes how she 'cried a lot', while acknowledging that 'crying is really bad for your vocal cords too', and probably didn’t help.
In a triumphant comeback, the ‘Set fire to the Rain’ singer swept the 2012 Grammy awards, winning among others, Album of the Year and Song of the Year. But perhaps her greatest reward was the standing ovation she received as she performed ‘Rolling in the Deep’ — the first time she’d taken to the stage since last October, before her throat surgery.
The Grammy-winner spoke of the reassurance she felt when big name stars such as John Mayer, Steven Tyler and Elton John recommended the services of Boston doctor Steven Zeitels, M.D. He discovered and removed the polyp on her cords. Adele said, 'When I met him, I loved [Zeitels] … he made me feel safe.'
Adele’s recuperation following her November surgery helped her to regain perspective on her career. She told Vogue, 'It was so fast-paced I could hardly ever remember the bulk of my day. I think I just needed to be silenced. And when you are silent, everyone around you is silent. So the noise in my life just stopped. It was like floating in the sea for the weeks. It was brilliant.'
She added: 'I had so much time to kind of go over things and get over things, which is amazing. I think if I hadn’t had my voice trouble, I would never have broached those subjects with myself. Now I just feel really at peace.'

I won't miss her in the least. All I ask is take Bieber, Mars, Minaj and the rest with her.

It's pretty unfair to lump her and Mars in with Bieber, Minaj, etc. I decry modern music because it lacks musicality and talent. Most of the tracks I hear don't even have a real instrument on them; rather, it's all electronic drum beats and shitty canned synth loops.

At least people like Adele and Mars seem to have quite a bit of talent. I actually liked some of her songs but the overexposure and the relentlessly melancholy tone ALL of her tunes have had made her grow stale on me.

I'm not going to be hypocritical and denounce people like Adele and Mars when my main gripe with most of today's music is a lack of instrumentation and melody on the songs. Their songs seem to have both of those in spades, even if they aren't exactly going to be at the top of my playlist.

In the meantime, I will posit an alternative solution to Adele for her relationship problems: Dude, you're 23 years old. It's simply not acceptable to be that large yet. Maybe in another 25 years. Work on that, and you might hold on to a man.

I think people should do what makes them happy. What good is a singing career ala Whitney Houston is you lose yourself in the process? Pretty soon the demands of the record company, managment, fans, media take over your life. I think it's good that Adele wants to concentrate on living her life. Hopefully sometime in the future she can achieve a good career life balance.

Yeah, there is no way that is true. She has the chance to cash in for megabucks right now. No one with a sane mind would pass up on it.

I was driving earlier cranking my stereo. It was like Adele was in the car with me, as if she had written "Someone Like You" just for me personally. I was so moved by her beautiful voice and intimate phrasing, completely lost in the song and the moment.

...then i stopped at a red light. a late 70's model cutlass with gigantic rims pulled alongside me. The driver turned down the earthshaking hiphop on his stereo. Both teenage black men inside the car then stared me down, one of them simply saying to me, "Faggot"...then they drove off without a word from me.

it was a bit of a buzzkill.

I'm hoping that one bit of that is true.


The bit where it says she is going to make a happy record.
