Adele Laurie Blue Adkins has become an international sensation and role model for many people. She trumps all others when it comes to hitting the high notes, but what most people do not know is how truly awesome she is as a person. Here are ___ reasons Adele is worthy of our praise.
1. She doesn't love being in the spotlight.
Some celebrities so obviously live for the red carpet and having their pictures taken. Not Adele, though. She has been quoted in many interviews saying she doesn't enjoy being on display for everyone to see.
"One show in Amsterdam I was so nervous I escaped out the fire exit." - to Rolling Stone Magazine
2. Every song has a meaning.
Her music isn't just the same words over and over again with no deep meaning or story. Her music tells her audiences about parts of her life that might otherwise be difficult to talk about, and I think everyone can relate to that feeling.
"In person, I can never talk about my feelings either. If you were my fellow, and we were having a serious conversation, I'd be laughing. Or just crying. I can never be articulate with how something is making me feel. I can never find the words." - to Vogue
3. She won 6 Grammy Awards in 2012.
Because 1 just wouldn't cut it, right? She absolutely deserved every single one of those awards, which included Best Pop Vocal Album and Album of the Year for "21", Best Pop Solo Performance for "Someone Like You," and 5 other awards for "Rolling in the Deep."
4. She is 100% happy with herself despite criticism from others.
This is truly a win in this industry where looks dominate everything. She is so confident about how she looks and makes it clear to everyone that she doesn't want to change anything about her appearance.
"I don't have time to worry about something as petty as what I look like." - to Rolling Stone Magazine
5. She is raising a beautiful son.
Being a working mom is hard enough, but when you're topping the charts, I can only imagine what it would be like. She does have help from her boyfriend, Simon Konecki, but it is still an amazing accomplishment in her life.
"It's hard, but it's phenomenal. It's the greatest thing I ever did. He makes me feel young." -in an interview with Matt Lauer
6. Can we just appreciate her contouring for a second?
Even if she doesn't do it herself, I don't think my face will ever look that good.
7. She completely understands her role as a woman.
She knows that she should not have to pose on the cover of Playboy to be considered beautiful, and she knows that she should not determine her self worth based on what other people think. She has said in countless interviews that she is a lady and will act like one.
"If a man whistles at you, do not respond. You are a lady, not a dog."
In my next life, I would like to be reincarnated as Adele, please and thank you.
