(Grammys) Adele falls flat and lets loose with expletive
Her performance was unsteady due to a shaky camera, and what sounded like a drunken guitar, which turned out to be the pianist’s microphone striking the piano’s strings.
“Because of that, it says …” She treated herself to an In-N-Out burger. “Maybe it was worth it”, Adele said of her fast-food feast. Following the broadcast, Recording Academy President Neil Portnow addressed the problems and called the Grammys “the most complicated show on television. It was fixed in a matter of seconds, but we’re never happy when something like that happens”, he added.
Adele has a voice that barely needs a microphone, but it was marred by an audio glitch at Monday night’s 58th annual Grammy Awards.
She said: “I was embarrassed”.
Album of the Year favorite Taylor Swift will kick off the show in ‘Style.’ Considering she’s up for seven awards and had five hits on Billboard’s Hot 100 this year, she has a lot of impressive material to showcase.
Adele also BRILLIANTLY said that her 3-year-old son Angelo has started singing but joked that “he’s not a phenomenon” – and that he’s loving life travelling with his mama!
Dressed in a red floor length gown, Adele was accompanied by a piano, but from the beginning there seemed to issues with the sound.
“Next time I will. Next time I have any sound issues I am gonna stop I’ll be like, ‘Sorry that’s not working for me.’ If we have time to do it again, let’s do it, otherwise, bye!”
It’ll take a little more than a ruined performance for fans to give up on Adele, though. An unwell Rihanna was a late no-present on physician’s orders to relaxation her vocal cords for forty eight hours.
Fans took to Twitter to express their outrage at the sound issues.
Unfortunately, Adele’s performance wasn’t the only one that audiences at home struggled with.
This was supposed to be Adele’s big Grammy comeback, after she won seven trophies in 2012. Gunshot beats rattled audience members as they launched into “The Blacker the Berry” from this year’s Best Rap Album victor To Pimp A Butterfly.
