Adele opens up about 30, divorce and her struggle with fame 

I NEED to compliment the interviewer - what a professional and sensible guy. I loved it when he started the question about _My little love_ saying that he wanted to be gentle and that it wasn't his intention that she talked about anything she didn't want. And he talks to her so carefully and attentively. Can we have more people like him in the media?? ❤️

She said "I'm naturally a sad person but I don't want to live like it". She's so in touch with herself and humble. I really like her and he's a wonderful Interviewer. Well done.

I've never heard a celebrity ask to continue an interview. Props to Tom Power for his professionalism and obviously to Adele for being such a genuine, humble, and talented example

Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, known professionally as Adele, is an English singer and songwriter who has achieved international acclaim for her powerful vocals, emotive performances, and deeply personal lyrics. Born on May 5, 1988, in Tottenham, London, Adele's meteoric rise to fame began in 2008 with the release of her debut album, "19." Adele's distinctive voice, characterized by its soulful and rich tones, quickly set her apart in the music industry. Her breakthrough single, "Chasing Pavements," earned her widespread recognition and won her the first of many Grammy Awards. The success of "19" established Adele as a force to be reckoned with in the music world. However, it was her 2011 album, "21," that catapulted Adele to global superstardom. The album, inspired by heartbreak and personal experiences, featured hit singles like "Rolling in the Deep" and "Someone Like You." "21" became one of the best-selling albums of all time, earning Adele numerous accolades, including six Grammy Awards in one night. Known for her ability to connect with listeners on a profound emotional level, Adele's music often explores themes of love, loss, and resilience. Her introspective lyrics, coupled with her soul-stirring performances, have resonated with a diverse audience around the world. After a brief hiatus, Adele made a triumphant return in 2015 with her third studio album, "25." The lead single, "Hello," became a global phenomenon, breaking records and reaffirming Adele's status as a musical powerhouse. The album continued her streak of critical and commercial success, earning her additional Grammy Awards. In addition to her musical achievements, Adele is celebrated for her authenticity and down-to-earth personality. She has been praised for her honesty in discussing her struggles with body image and the challenges of fame, making her a relatable and admired figure. Adele's impact on the music industry extends beyond her chart-topping hits; it lies in her ability to transcend genres and captivate audiences with the raw emotion in her music. As of my knowledge cutoff in January 2022, Adele remains a highly influential and respected artist, and her future endeavors are eagerly anticipated by fans worldwide. I love you Adele I write an essay about you,

Adele asking for a few more questions is the best compliment the interviewer could get. Thank you for an amazing interview!

Extremely Extremely hard to find someone as genuine as Adele on interviews.

imagine you're interviewing Adele for 30 min, and you ask the last question and try to end the interview and Adele says no, can we continue I'm having a grate time. I don't know how he didn't cry

"The living of life never ends when you're in it." Her life is a living poetry, and she speaks poem.

This album is therapy.

Her giggle is what defines her humanity. It's nice to see she's giddy about herself and about stuff.

“The living of life never ends when you’re in it.” I could listen to Adele talk ALL DAY.

I had forgotten that this was an interview until the end when they said it was lovely to meet each other. It just shows how gifted Adele and the interviewer both are. Such poise, grace, and professionalism and yet so down to earth, relatable, and comforting. They both did fantastic! It was an amazing interview. Dealing with such big hard topics they made the conversation beautiful and showed us all it really is okay to be human. Most importantly that we are not alone. Absolutely lovely.

i think 'to be loved' off of this new album is one of the greatest songs she's ever made. it's so beyond beautiful. lyrics, vocals, melody, everything.

it hurts at times to see how deeply unsatisfied she feels with herself. Such a gifted, intelligent person...she`ll find her way through it, for sure.

Adele is and has always been such a queen

In a time where people make records to diss and vilify this or that person, Adele boldly moves in the opposite direction. You don't have to hurt other people in order to healing yourself, 'cause you'll never heal in the end.

She's so precious. Protect her at all costs.

She is one of the most beautiful, poise, and elegant human being I’ve ever seen. I admire her so much, she is truly so real.

Wow. The way she speaks. She is a writer no doubt! The way she expresses herself and describes what she’s saying is so poetic.

i could listen to these talking for hours, didn’t even feel like an interview, it became a conversation. also, i gotta say this my favorite album by adele, it felt like an embrace, idk how else to put it.

This woman is a phenomenal human being

I once heard her say she disappears between albums to live a normal life because she wouldn’t have any inspiration to write her music if she just stuck around the vapid Hollywood scene. I love that she values staying grounded and down to earth even though she must have more money than God at this point. The album is great as always and growing on me more every day

Such a compliment to him that she wasn’t ready for the interview to be over. Bravo Sir!

Off topic but man she is so gorgeous

This interview made my day. I really appreciated how he made the interview into a conversation. It almost felt like I was eavesdropping on a private conversation sometimes. I love Adele and this album is one of the most beautiful, honest and relevant album of our time. Thank you Adele. ❤️

Iv never come across anyone who is as self aware as Adele, it's really remarkable. She so intune with her emotions

She seems like such a pure soul. Theres no fakery, esthetic looks when life may feel like it sucks, just ADELE. ❤

Her answers are so genuine that it makes me shed tears when she says she went through a horrible time. She’s such a strong and brave woman!

I love Adele. She’s such a funny and genuine person. She’s the type of people I would be friends with. Love her character

- "Oh my good you can talk whatever you want" that exact moment is priceless!! is knowing that you're interviewing a legend. She's so open, authentic down to earth. I Respect her as the true artist she is.

*Shes so iconic doesn’t matter what she does whether she’s living her regular life or putting out music she will forever be iconic because she’s authentically herself and always put so much deep feelings and heart into her life and has no problem expressing herself kindly and maturely* 🤍🤍🤍🦋👑

It's only been a day but I already think 30 is my favourite Adele album. Have been listening non stop since it came out. It's a whole journey this album... you go from crying to dancing to deep thoughts and self-reflection. The last time I was this moved by an album was when she released 21.

WHY IS SHE SO AMAZING. I could listen to her sing AND talk all day

I've had a crush on Adele since 19 & she is even more smokin hot now. If she ever retires, she could definitely model. To Be Loved is definitely my favorite song off the new album.

GIVE THIS MAN A RAISE!!! Adele, seriously Beautiful woman with a Beautiful soul! Tom is a legit master of his craft! Incredible interview from start to finish.

Incredible interview. Just as personable, carefree and honest as the album.

'I'm naturally a sad person but I don't want live like that' I can relate to that a lot....

She knows how to make people feel special. That interviewer was lovely but she was lovelier. Her humility is truly mesmerising

this dude needed a raise. their energies just bursts and we all can feel it. Even Adele explicitly said she enjoyed it. wow. we NEED more content like this.

Wow, you can tell she poured her heart, soul and guts into this album. I'm so glad it's being appreciated by critics (and fans of course). I was nervous about that 'fourth album curse' but that clearly has nothing on Adele! I'm happy she's back and doing so well. She looks happy and at peace.

This woman is real and just wants to be real. She just wants to live her life like the next person. She has no ego and lays her life bare on the table for all to see. No false pretense. Adele you are so humble. Through her poetry and words and music she shares all her intimate feelings of her life and gives us a look at who she really is. What an amazing gift.

She’s a deep thinker if your a deep thinker then her voice, her lyrics, her story speaks and touches people that’s why from young to old from UK to America she reaches so many people, Some people aren’t deep and only hear the music and not the lyrics that’s fine but deep people connect differently to music, I’ve always been very deep from being a young child and a connection to music it’s saved me from my violent upbringing and stuff I haven’t dealt with yet and probably never will.

This was a great interview. When Adele asks for more time you’ve done something right in your career!

"I won't do anything I don't wanna do, like at all, ever again. I will always trust my intuition going forward" - As a woman, I felt that so much.

She is so real to be the singer everyone loves. No pretense in this girl. You can't help but fall in sync with her, in love with her soul.

the compassion and love for her music you can see in her responses shows how she is one of the greats.

✨💖 Her current look reminds me of 80’s Brooke Shields with blonde hair. She’s always breathtaking in each chapter with a cheeky, fun, deep personality. Love, love, love her as an artist and person. 💖✨

She’s so relatable I’ll never get tired of her 🥺💖

I've been one of Adele's number one fans since her album 19. She taught me everything I know about how to truly write deep from the heart. Nobody does it like her, though.

One true artist and singer amidst a myriad of worthless music. Even though I love rock and metal, I can't deny how much talent this woman has. Amazing.

I feel so understood when she talks like she knows me. I would love to just sit and listen to her advice every day!

As a journalist it is incredible to see such an honest interview. So much respect for Adele, especially for someone who is so incredibly private, to open up about the personal struggles she has faced. Hope in an album. "Just hold on". Something we all need during these unprecedented times.

i love that she put “my little love” out there. angelo is gonna grow up and hear it and be really appreciative and see how strong of a woman his mom is.

“I really disrespected that friendship that I have with music” Adele love this💕

“The middle” I love that. Not knowing it for myself because I lived a difficult beginning. My daughters have shown me that people really do learn so much about themselves when they are in their 20’s. When your 30’s come around you do seem to have that mountain carved out, to some extent. Adele wrote and sings about “The middle” so beautifully.

adele's such a joy to be around in her interviews. im addicted to watching her

From a medical worker overwhelmed by COVID, THANK YOU for great music to help us release our pent up emotions

Adele is such a gift to humanity. Bless her for traversing these lows…resulting in the ability to give us this art.🌟

He's a true fan. You know he REALLY listened to the album.

I felt like I was in a therapy session by listening to that interview. What a Beautiful person that you are Adele.

Absolutely brilliant interview candid and heart warming. Adele is a class act with a GOD given talent wow what a voice just finished listening to 30 a masterpiece from start to finish 👏 🙌 ❤

She is such a beautiful, inspiring and powerful woman. Everything she says is so poetic, she carries herself so well. I absolutely adore her.

i love how she praises him at the end for giving such a good interview. so cute

Great interview! Interviewer is super prepared and easy going, and Adele is so open and honest about her life experiences and the process of making the album. '30' is a masterpiece to me - it's really different from anything she's done before in terms of production and her experimentation with sounds/genres. The whole album was a ride. And I've loved everything she's done since '19', but '30' was a whole other level. It was just soo therapeutic in a way I can't even explain. I loved it so much and I'm SO glad she decided to release it after contemplating not doing so.

Love her openness, her honesty and spontaneous answers. She's just great in every way. Lover her songs. Very raw and organic!

Adele is such a soulful down-to-earth woman. Great interview!👏🏻❤️

This is a wonderful interview because Tom talks about the music and asks Adele interesting questions about her songs. He understands music and has listened to Adele’s album. A lot of interviewers only want to talk about a musician’s personal life and ignore the music.

handsdown one of the best interviews i‘ve ever seen! such a warm and sympathic vibe from both of em! great & natural conversation! and i love the new album! in my opinion her best work to date💗

Absolutely beautiful conversation between two authentic people. This is what we’re missing. Great interviewer and she is just incredibly talented, wise and kind soul ❤

This is such an intellectual interview both are so poetic. I love this interview I feel like I never want this to end

I love how respectful the interviewer was towards Adele. At first I was worried, he might be too serious for her personality but when they shared their first laugh, all worries dissipated.

For me, this is the album I’ve been missing and didn’t realize how much I needed it until I heard it.

Adele is one of the most REAL famous person I’ve seen. Great conversation and interview on both parties. Bravo to you both!!! 💜🙏😇

This conversation is perfect. Picture it, 2022, a Brit and a Canadian walk into a bar…..I love these two!

When I listen to Adele, I’m always blown away by her sincerity and genuine-ness (is that even a word?). She’s not gimmicky, or phony, or interested in writing/singing for the purpose of fame - she’s REAL! She writes/sings from her heart - about real problems, troubles, heartbreak, strength, weakness, and progress. And, I for one, can relate to many of the songs on this new album. She put into words many things that I’ve thought or felt at one time or other in my life. Adele is a treasure!

I cried so much listening to the album and watching this interview. I was really worried about Adele because the emotions she expresses in the album are all feelings I feel on the daily and it hurts. I am so relieved that she’s doing better. Everything she said was so powerful and relatable. Very inspiring.

Brilliant interview! She’s so articulate and her honesty is very refreshing! Really enjoyed how she shared the process and found it super insightful. Love her, such an icon ❤️ the album is amazing, with all the feels xxx

Adele being everyone’s therapist for 30 minutes 👏🏼 I’m eating this up

New or non Adele fans are witnessing why the rest of us long time Adele fans love her so much, other than her beautiful talents , she really is a great down to earth person with a great sense of humor and a big heart!

I 100% feel her music. It's overwhelming how she is able to express her emotions so strongly that I can barely take it in. Extremely powerful experience. I will never forget this album. THANK YOU Adele, you have no idea what you have done for this world, especially with everything we are going through now.

Tom made her feel so comfortable, she didn't want to stop the interview. That was so sweet.

im not gonna try to sit here and hot sauce anything but real talk after listening to this album and really paying attention to the lyrics and what shes trying to tell us i sat here and shed a few tears cuz i could relate to some of the things and feelings she was going through and it really hit home for me..i hope everyone can appreciate what a gift she has given to us by her being so vulnerable and letting us into her personal life with this album..hearing her say that with her job comes being a celebrity and she ain't into all that and hates being a celebrity just shows to you how humble and down to earth type of girl she is and what you see is what you get and it makes us love her even more for being so real..thank you adele this is exactly what the whole world needed right now during these scary and uncertain times its like a breath of fresh air for all of us she is truly and angel sent from above to help the world heal..god bless her

Love how honestvshevus makes us cry

She is so wise! I love that we're so close in age so her albums have been like a soundtrack to my grown up life. Her albums have been the therapy that I've never had the nerve to get for myself. I said on another video that I was scared of this album because I didn't feel ready to face my feelings like her albums make me do. But after this interview, I'm excited to listen. When she talks about entering your 30's and looking inward and evolving and leaving behind the traits of yourself you don't like... brilliant. Then to make an album that encapsulates that... man!

I don’t listen to much of her music, but she is such a smart girl. I admire her honesty and ability to not let fame get in the way of being human. She sounds like a great mum too. I might give her more of a listen after seeing this.

Bloody hell! The interviewer is really great! Their conversation felt so natural and it just all feels so comfortable. It's wonderful, enjoyed it A LOT.

I love how smooth the flow of this interview is. It’s an actual conversation.

Great interview Tom. It was so nice to watch Adele let her guard down as she realized you’d truly listened to the album and were there to talk to her as a musician and not just as a “star.”

I love these mental health talks that Adele is doing, helps alot of people xx

Goshhhh Adele truly is my inspirational strength. She shows us that the journey won’t be easy but you will make it! As long as you got yourself!

I think of my mom immediately when I heard my little one. What she had to go through raising me without my dad. Ugh. I cry every time I hear it.

As a journalist and TV producer, it is the biggest compliment when a guest wants to extend the interview. This conversation is a gem!

This interview was so wholesome! The interviewer did such a great job balancing the depth of Adele's new album and life experiences, while being respectful of her privacy! What a joyous dialogue to watch!

She’s so “present” in so many ways to us, here and now. Blessing 🎤 🎵

What a fantastic interview! Probably the best one I have ever seen. It was like listening to two old friends having a catch up after not seeing each other for a while. I would love to be able to tell Adele to her face just how brave she is, what a wonderful gift she gives to all of her fans every time she so openly gives her innermost feelings to her music and how every emotion comes through so real in her songs. There aren’t many artists who can, or would, do that. She is also a fantastic mother and Angelo will grow into a fine young man. Her respect for her ex husband is also very inspiring and a great inspiration to others who have to navigate a divorce. So much I could say if I ever had the opportunity….

it would be so nice to sit n chat with her. adele is the type of person that makes you feel comfortable to talk about anything love love love

I love her music but seriously I could listen to her talk 24/7.

This is possibly the best interviewer I've ever seen. The interviewee opened up all on her own because he was not pushing. I'm amazed and how classy he is.

The album is beyond amazing. Her story is a journey and boy does she tell it. A MAZIN Adele !

I really appreciated this interview. I think Adele felt challenged and taken by Tom’s style and how he followed up on what she was saying and not merely doing a definitive Q&A.
