在2012年2月12日举行的第54届格莱美颁奖礼上，Adele一举夺得被提名的全部六个奖项，包括三个音乐界的最高荣誉奖：album (“21”), record （"Rolling in the Deep”）and song of the year ("Rolling in the Deep”)，还获得了best pop solo performance (“"Someone Like You”), best pop vocal album (“21”) and Best Short Form Music Video（"Rolling in the Deep”）。而在2009年凭借一首“Chasing Pavements”，当时年仅21岁的Adele就赢得了格莱美两项大奖：最佳新人，最佳流行女歌手。

她的首张专辑《19》便获得了英国水星音乐奖的提名，并在英国专辑排行榜上得到第一名的佳绩。这张专辑在英国销量超过500,000份，世界各地销量超过一百二十万张。于2011年初发行的第二张专辑《21》更是让全球数千万歌迷为之倾倒！

Adele是位唱作型歌手，喜欢写诗的她，在写歌词的时候亦有渗进其中，尽显才情。她写出“Hometown Glory”这首歌的时候只有16岁！Adele自我描述她的音乐风格为“sad soul”。她那浑厚低沉的嗓音，惹人心碎的情感穿透力与充满真挚激情的演译，让无数乐迷倾倒，也在当今流行乐坛谱写出新的神话。Adele 可能也是当今极为流行的social network 的最大受益者，她当初就是把自己的歌曲放在“My Space”上而被发现。还值得一提的是，“Turning Table”这首歌还是她与朋友在中餐馆吃饭时，被那大餐桌上的旋转餐台激发出的灵感而写出的！2011年9月22日Adele在伦敦举行的一场现场音乐会“Live at the Royal Albert Hall”, 现场为痴迷的歌迷们演唱了多首名曲。在演唱会上，Adele也向大家展现出了她多彩的性格，以及她超强的唱功，非常精彩非常过瘾！在帖的最后也附上这场演唱会的Youtube 视频。
