Some reports are saying Adele is now backing off the remarks based on a
blog entry on her official site titled:
5 was my favourite number but now it's 6
^ 6 refers to the number of Grammy awards she was nominated for and won this year. 5? Perhaps the fact she received 4 Grammy nominations in 2008 for
19 and was nominated again the next year for "Best Pop Vocal Performance.".
In the blog entry, she doesn't mention "5" or "6" again until the last paragraph:
Quote:I’ve a few days off now, and then it’s the Brit Awards here at home and then I’m straight into the studio. BOYYAHH! 5 years? More like 5 days!
Note: 2008 & 2009 & 2010 & 2011 & 2012 = 5 years & the Brit Awards are not until 2/21.
But based on this blog entry the BBC and others are reporting:
Quote:Chart-topping singer Adele has played down suggestions she is to take a five-year break from the music business.
The reports were prompted by a profile in Vogue magazine in which she said she was considering a hiatus lasting "four or five years".
"Five years? More like five days!" she wrote on her blog following Sunday's Grammy awards in Los Angeles, which saw her walk way with six prizes.
Her UK spokesman said it was "just an off-hand comment".
Speaking ahead of the Grammys, however, her manager Jonathan Dickins said plans for a 2012 tour had yet to be properly discussed.
"We have to ease her back," he told Billboard magazine, referring to the throat problem and surgery that temporarily robbed the British star of her voice in 2011.
"I'm gonna [sic] let her enjoy this moment and not drive her mad," he went on. "We'll sit down and work out what we're doing going forward." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/mobile/enterta...s-17039684
Adele seemed quite clear about her intent in the
Vogue article. I wouldn't trust this interpretation of her blog entry until we hear the same from her on camera.
