Adele, the bird, and life...on changing values, judgments and cutting breaks
Http://youtu.be/rYEDA3JcQqw
I heard Adele flipped her middle finger “after being cut off during an acceptance speech at the Brit awards” on February, 21, 2012. That was yesterday, by the way. She won…several awards in her home country. Of which she is so proud and so wanted to share that pride. By the by, she won British album of the year for “21”. They gave more time to other people and awards and performances…she, they cut off.
She won for the same album that garnered her all the awards in America at our equivalent ceremony, the Grammy’s.
Let’s cut this woman a break. Why is the world being so hard on her?
It’s not been an easy road for her, this is no London princess. She wasn’t raised by rich people or even by a set of parents. She just had the music in her and that voice of angels. I cannot believe the people who are dinging her now, saying her voice isn’t that good, she’s not so good….and the one I read that added…. “Motown performers behaved better.” Say what????
elementary to junior high or middle school and then to high school, our hair styles change, as does the hair rituals and regiments. Relaxers seem to be a rite of passage for Black females. It was something that mature, often professional women did.
A woman sashays past in painted-on stonewashed jeans, stiletto ankle boots and figure-hugging jacket. “Eastern European,” I tell my girlfriend. Two young guys slink past: skinny jeans, nice haircuts and over-the-shoulder courier bags.
