I'm going to see Adele this week, in the Olympia in Dublin.

Has anyone seen her before? What was she like?

I'm expecting great vocals, but what is she like in stage presence, design and interaction?

I've tried to avoid YT videos, but I just want a general description.

Enjoy! But I am so insanely jealous of you that I might just go bang. But seriously, have fun, it'll be amazing.

EDIT: Just seen you want to avoid YT videos - basically she talks to the audience quite a bit between songs and makes them laugh a lot, she sounds as good, if not better, than she does on record, and it's all very simple in design. Alll about the voice as you'd expect.

I'm not watching that!
Don't tease!

I just want a little description to know what I'm in for, but I'm not going to spoil it!

I'll enjoy it. Even if she's shockingly crap/drunk/naked, it'll still be a bit of fun.

Thank you. I've seen her interviews, she looks like a laugh. I'm near the front too, can't wait!

See my edit!

Any of those things you mention would be.... an experience.

I'm all Pro-Confidence and all that shit, but I seriously don't want to see Adele naked.

Just more of her to love.

(DEFINITELY a joke in every way.)

A tip: take her a cuddly toy, maybe a bear? You may get invited backstage (not joking). Another tip: try and learn all the lyrics to her songs and sing them as she's singing. She will probably notice you if you are near the front and/or in her eye line and pick you out.

What to expect? No pyrotechnics, no near naked dancers, no autotune on the mike, an incredibly tight band who clearly love her (check them out whilst she is interacting with the audience) and, basically, yes IMO THE best live vocalist out there.

I don't know about the teddie bear, but I'd love to get backstage.

I'll be back on this thread with a review after!

Have you not heard of Ryanair? In most cases a flight to Dublin can be had for cheaper than a taxi ride into town

Ryanair is awful so I try to put it in the back of my mind. *shiver*

Hey, whilst we are baring our souls here, I am also very jealous but I hope you have a really great time (I'm sure you will!).

Being your fellow FMs and all, I feel you owe it to us to get each and every one of us a signed copy of 21 and a recording of Adele saying hello to us - frankly it would be pretty selfish of you not to do so.



Just kidding, we're nice people really. I'd love to read your review afterwards though!

Got to admit to having a signed copy Total luck of the draw, I pre-ordered the album from Adele's site and apparently was entered into a draw whereby the first 1000 people out of the hat (it may not have been a hat but let's not get bogged down with the finer detail) got a signed copy. And I got lucky.

konebyvax, have I ever told you how much I enjoy your posts? And it's my birthday soon. Two entirely unrelated facts.
