在2012年2月12日举行的第54届格莱美颁奖礼上，Adele一举夺得被提名的全部六个奖项，包括三个音乐界的最高荣誉奖：album (“21”), record （"Rolling in the Deep”）and song of the year ("Rolling in the Deep”)，还获得了best pop solo performance (“"Someone Like You”), best pop vocal album (“21”) and Best Short Form Music Video（"Rolling in the Deep”）。而在2009年凭借一首“Chasing Pavements”，当时年仅21岁的Adele就赢得了格莱美两项大奖：最佳新人，最佳流行女歌手。
她的首张专辑《19》便获得了英国水星音乐奖的提名，并在英国专辑排行榜上得到第一名的佳绩。这张专辑在英国销量超过500,000份，世界各地销量超过一百二十万张。于2011年初发行的第二张专辑《21》更是让全球数千万歌迷为之倾倒！
Adele是位唱作型歌手，喜欢写诗的她，在写歌词的时候亦有渗进其中，尽显才情。她写出“Hometown Glory”这首歌的时候只有16岁！Adele自我描述她的音乐风格为“sad soul”。她那浑厚低沉的嗓音，惹人心碎的情感穿透力与充满真挚激情的演译，让无数乐迷倾倒，也在当今流行乐坛谱写出新的神话。Adele 可能也是当今极为流行的social network 的最大受益者，她当初就是把自己的歌曲放在“My Space”上而被发现。还值得一提的是，“Turning Table”这首歌还是她与朋友在中餐馆吃饭时，被那大餐桌上的旋转餐台激发出的灵感而写出的。
2011年9月22日Adele在伦敦举行的一场现场音乐会“Live at the Royal Albert Hall”, 为痴迷的歌迷们演唱了多首名曲。在演唱会上，Adele也向大家展现出了她多彩的性格，以及她超强的唱功，非常精彩非常过瘾！在帖的最后也附上这场演唱会的Youtube 视频。
下面对Adele的介绍节选自“wiki ” :
Adele Laurie Blue Adkins (born 5 May 1988), better known simply as Adele, is an English singer-songwriter, musician and multi-instrumentalist. Adele was offered a recording contract from XL Recordings after a friend posted her demo on Myspace in 2006. The next year she received the Brit Awards "Critics' Choice" award and won the BBC Sound of 2008. Her debut album, 19, was released in 2008 to much commercial and critical success. It certified four times platinum in the UK, and double platinum in the US. Her career in the US was boosted by a Saturday Night Live appearance in late 2008. At the 2009 Grammy Awards, Adele received the awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
Adele released her second album, 21, in early 2011. The album was well received critically and surpassed the success of her debut, earning the singer six Grammy Awards in 2012 including Album of the Year, equalling the record for most Grammy Awards won by a female artist in one night. The album has also led to her receiving numerous other awards, including two Brit Awards and three American Music Awards. The album has been certified 16 times platinum in the UK; in the US the album has held the top position longer than any other album since 1985, and is certified Diamond. According to IFPI, the album has sold over 26 million copies worldwide.
The success of 21 earned Adele numerous mentions in the Guinness World Records. She is the first artist to sell more than 3 million copies of an album in a year in the UK. With her two albums and the first two singles from 21, "Rolling in the Deep" and "Someone Like You", she became the first living artist to achieve the feat of having two top-five hits in both the UK Official Singles Chart and the Official Albums Chart simultaneously since the Beatles in 1964. With her third release from the album, "Set Fire to the Rain", which became her third number one single in the US, Adele became the first artist in history to lead the Billboard 200 concurrently with three Billboard Hot 100 number-ones.
Adele is the first female in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 to have three singles in the top 10 at the same time as a lead artist, and the first female artist to have two albums in the top five of the Billboard 200 and two singles in the top five of the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously. 21 is the longest running number one album by a female solo artist on the UK and US Albums Chart. In 2011 and 2012, Billboard named Adele Artist of the Year. In 2012, Adele was listed at number five on VH1′s 100 Greatest Women In Music, and the American magazine Time named Adele one of the most influential people in the world. In 2013, she received an Academy Award as well as the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for her song "Skyfall", written for Skyfall, the twenty-third James Bond film.
