More Adele to Break Your Heart

By Amy @amypop · On August 29, 2011

There has been a lot of extremely deserved buzz around Adele’s performance of “Someone Like You” last night on the VMAs. I don’t really have much to add except that I keep replaying it and it really doesn’t matter if I’m watching it or not — it packs the same punch. And even though I’m years removed and healed from my broken heart, the tiny bit of pain that still exists swirls up like a tornado inside me. I’m not so teary anymore and maybe it’s a good reminder that I can love someone like that, despite all my forced jokes about my Spinster fate.

I’m so not well-versed in all things music world and I’m the furthest from a music snob (I’ll judge you on your choice of television shows first), but this is the first time I saw Adele do the song and it just broke me up. If you need a little variation on your VMA version, add this one from Radio1’s Live Lounge into your rotation:

I was gobsmacked. My jaw was in my lap. I did NOT expect any show, especially this show, to go there, to flat out say “You are enabling rape culture by what you did.” -- drst

Johnny Depp is the gayest pirate ever to hit the mainstream. There is, perhaps, gay porn where the actors pretend to be pirates, and that possibly might be more gay. - Amanda, "Ahoy Ye Teenies"
