UK R&B singer Adele shuns being as famous as Lady Gaga or Katy Perry because she doesnât want to deal with the overly extreme fans they attract.
Adele, who recently scored her second number one album in the U.K. with her sophomore set â21,â moving 208,000 copies of the disc in its first week of release, is quickly becoming successful across the globe.
But Adele admits her growing popularity means attracting the attention of some strange followers. A recent run in with a creepy fan left the Grammy winner grateful sheâs not as recognizable as her peers.
“The other day I was up north (in the north of England) and there were these – well, I don’t think they were fans actually, they were like eBayers,â she tells Britain’s The Sun. “I’d be at the venue, they’d be there. I’d leave the venue and they’d be there. Then they started taking pictures of my dog doing a s**t and stuff like that. It was really weird.
Adele continues, âI was on my own taking (my dog) Louis out for a walk. One of them just got in the lift with me and I got really panicky. Luckily there was a cleaner on the floor I was on. I was just thinking, imagine being someone like Cheryl Cole or Katy Perry or Gaga, where you’ve got to be conniving to have a normal day. That scares the life out of me. I don’t think I’d be able to carry on doing music if it got to that point. I don’t think it ever will – I don’t think I’m the kind of artist where that will happen.”
Adele is a global music sensation, known for her powerful and moving lyrics and soulful sound. But it turns out she doesn’t want to be as famous as some of the biggest names in pop today – Katy Perry or Lady Gaga. In fact, Adele has been very clear about her desire to remain grounded and not succumb to the trappings of fame that so many entertainers have become victims of. This article will discuss why Adele isn’t interested in becoming an A-list celebrity like Perry or Gaga and what she’s doing instead to maintain a normal life while still creating incredible music.
Adele has achieved immense success since bursting onto the scene with her debut album 19 in 2008. She’s sold millions of albums worldwide, won numerous awards including 15 Grammys, and had countless chart-topping singles. Her rise to superstardom was swift and impressive, but Adele refuses to let it go any further than where it currently stands; refusing even more opportunities for publicity along the way.
It seems that Adele wants nothing more than a simple life filled with quality time spent with family and friends rather than paparazzi tailing her every move. Instead of chasing after fame like other artists do, Adele chooses to make meaningful connections with those around her through giving back to charity organizations and using her platform for good causes such as promoting mental health awareness initiatives.
Adele’s Journey To Stardom
Adele’s journey to stardom began in 2008 when she released her debut album, “19”. The record was an instant success, topping the charts and earning her recognition from critics and fans alike. From there, Adele quickly rose to fame with a series of hit singles such as “Chasing Pavements” and “Someone Like You”.
However, despite her newfound celebrity status, Adele has been adamant about maintaining her privacy and not embracing the trappings that come along with being famous. She doesn’t want to be like fellow pop stars Katy Perry or Lady Gaga who often use their fame for attention-grabbing stunts. Instead, Adele prefers to stay out of the limelight and focus on writing music that connects with people all over the world.
This approach has paid off immensely: In 2011 she won six Grammy Awards including Album Of The Year for 21 – making history as only one of two females ever to receive this honor. Her commitment to staying true to herself is something that resonates deeply with listeners around the globe, cementing her place among some of the most influential female artists of all time.
Reasons For Rejecting Superstardom
Adele’s rejection of superstardom is not only about maintaining her privacy. She has also spoken out against the pressure placed on female celebrities to look and act a certain way in order to be successful. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Adele commented that she doesn’t want to “have to change [her] body shape for people to accept me as a singer”. This refusal to conform speaks volumes about Adele’s resilience and commitment to being herself both personally and professionally.
In addition, Adele values meaningful relationships over fame and fortune. Instead of chasing after celebrity status, she prefers spending time with family and friends- something that often gets lost when one becomes famous. Furthermore, her humble nature serves as a reminder that success isn’t measured by money or recognition but rather by how much joy it brings into someone’s life.
Adele’s decision to reject superstardom may seem strange at first glance; yet upon closer inspection it reveals just how much she values authenticity and personal integrity above all else. Her story is an inspiring example of staying true to oneself no matter what obstacles stand in your way – proving that even without embracing fame, there are still ways for artists like Adele to make their mark on the world through their music.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Adele’s journey to stardom has been a unique one. She achieved unparalleled success due to her incredible talent and willingness to stay true to herself. While she could have gone down the same path as superstars like Katy Perry or Lady Gaga, Adele chose not to pursue that kind of fame. Instead, she embraced her roots and created an image for herself that was honest and real. As a result, people around the world connected with her music in ways they had never done before. Ultimately, it is this connection with fans that made Adele successful – more so than any level of fame ever would have. Her story proves that you don’t need to be famous in order to achieve greatness; all you need is passion, hard work, and staying true to yourself.
