Unless you eschewed all forms of media and contact with another human being (or watched Shia LeBouf watch all of his films live. I’m sorry if you did.), you know that on Friday, November 20th the world once again discovered that they cannot sing like Adele.
Okay, so maybe this girl can, but the rest of us toned-deaf losers can’t.
But let’s face it, it’s Adele’s world and the rest of us plebeians are just here to buy her records, post on Facebook status updates like, “__________________________ (some random song on 25) is my new religion,” and attempt and miserably fail at making the perfect cat eyeliner and end up wearing an eyepatch due to infection from our Wet n’ Wild liquid liner.
Over the course of the week, the Adele promotion train hit every stop, making it near impossible to miss her. Quite honestly, I’m shocked she wasn’t on an episode of Law and Order: SVU or seeing how much her Pocket Rocker went for on Antiques Roadshow.
So, in order to recover from your Black Friday shopping extravaganza where you most likely tackled an octogenarian in an effort to get your hands on that last sweater that was marked down 50% at Target, or if you’re just waking up from your food coma induced sleep, here’s the best of the week that was Adele.
Saturday Night Live
Sure, Matthew McConaughey was the host and he told the world once again how “Alright, Alright, Alright” came to fruition. But who cares when Adele was the musical guest. Although she doesn’t appear in this segment, “A Thanksgiving Miracle” just shows the power of Adele.
What I want to know is how many times do I have to lip-sync to “Hello” in order to get that damn coat because I. Will. Do. It.
Adele at the BBC
What do you get when you have Adele impersonating Adele in front of an entire group of Adele impersonators? You get Jenny and she’s my new BFF.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
On Tuesday, Adele proved she could hold her own when she faced Jimmy Fallon in a spirited game of “Box of Lies.” Plus, when I finally have my dream celebrity game night (Because I know you’re eager to know: Jennifer Lawrence, Sandra Bullock, Nick Offerman, and Sally Jesse Raphael just because I can.) she will rock when we all play “Two Truths and One Lie.”
Also, she’s the only person who can get away with calling my man Jimmy a “bitch.” In fact, that’s my new term of endearment for him. Thanks, Adele.
But she didn’t stop there. Only Adele could make classroom instruments sound like a Madison Square Garden performance. The highlight for me: the green flip phone. It will always be about that green flip phone.
Have you listened to 25? Which song is your life now? What show do you want to see Adele on (Please say Dancing with the Stars)? Let us know in the comments or send a tweet! Bonus points if you use Adele lyrics.
