Adele hung out with Ellen DeGeneres Thursday morning and talked a lot about crying—crying with her son at Disneyland, and crying after her botched Grammy performance. While she was singing "All I Ask," technical difficulties caused her voice to briefly cut out, and to sound off-key. She explained, "the microphones fell onto the piano strings, which was what the guitar noise was."The brilliant, powerful-voiced Adele almost had it all, but the Grammys left her rolling in the deep.
Adele told Ellen that after the live TV disaster, she "cried pretty much all day," and treated herself to a much-deserved burger and beer.
Because he's just so blamable, a lot of people online assumed that the technical difficulties were Justin Bieber's fault, but Adele set the record straight: "Some people thought it was Bieber rehearsing but it wasn't him—we're on great terms."
It's great that Adele and Bieber are on good terms, but here's hoping they never do a duet. Or that if they do, the microphones stop working entirely.
