Here is your Grammys Open Post, hosted by Adele’s March cover for Vogue Magazine. Vogue hasn’t released the interview or the photo shoot yet, so we’ll just have content ourselves with this cover preview. Hopefully, I’m not the only one rooting for Adele to sweep the Grammys tonight. The way Adele’s “first performance” (post-throat-surgery) is being hyped, I suspect that a lot of people will be tuning in to see her. And of course, people will want to see the tributes to Whitney Houston. That’s a slight fear for me though – if Adele sweeps, she’ll be completely overshadowed by Whitney’s death. It’s not that I don’t believe people should mourn Whitney – they should. But let Adele and some of the other singers and musicians have their moment to shine and be happy too.
As for Adele’s Vogue cover – I’m particularly happy that Anna Wintour didn’t just put a closeup of Adele’s face on the cover, which is what Vogue UK did last year. We actually get to see some of Adele’s body, and maybe it’s just a really flattering shot, but it looks like Adele has lost some weight. I’ve never really noticed how booby she is, either. Great voice, beautiful face, lovely ginger hair AND a great rack? Adele has it all!
What are you looking forward to during the Grammy telecast? Adele? The Whitney tribute(s)? Lady Gaga? Beyonce? Oh, this will be one of the more exciting Grammys in recent history.

She’s the only reason I’m watching the Grammy’s tonight. Hope she wins every award she’s nominated for. And the ones she wasn’t nominated for.
adele looks gorgeous! i hope she does well tonight.
correction: she looks photoshoped to the max..yes she’s pretty but she doesn’t have that bone structure..they made her face appear less fuller
@Leila, ITA with you! So photoshopped, and the head and body do not match up whatsoever. But I expect this from vogue. They’re used to shooting rail thin supermodels (and similarly built celebrities), not a curvy lady like Adele.
Anne Wintour – that b!tch has no shame. I wish they’d kept her as she is, not this photoshopped mess. I guess it’ll be a few more years before curvy women are accepted in the media. At least untill Anne “HBIC” Wintour steps down or is fired. I prefer the latter but both will do.
They TOTALLY cropped some of her belly out. Her head looks WAY too big for that body there. She’s a hefty gal, and so what?? Is having an extra roll some sort of crime? Geez! She’s a bit chubby in the face and carries some extra weight, big flipping deal. Stop butchering her body!
I was looking at the cover and thinking “Jesus, what did they do to her face?” Seriously! I think the girl ir gorgeous, but this cover…argh! Why the hell would they do this? She looks horrible there. And no way that’s her body without photoshop. They wasted a chance to have some pretty cover with an amazingly talented woman. Anyway, that’s a world in which you better be cracked out of your skull, but God forbid you have some extra pounds.
ITA!!! i was really looking forward to seeing a picture that shows all of her natural beauty. she didn’t need all that cropping. it’s very disappointing.
wll that’s my first thought.she might have the rack but under tthere they photoshopped her pretty obviously.And yes maybe also the face looks slightly different.It can be real lost of weight?It’s easier to believe they played the same old pshop trick…
What a dreadful cover! Yeesh. I barely recognised Adele. She looks softer and prettier than this. Vogue made her look like a botoxed and pulled plastic doll. Really, really ugly. I would sue.
Crap! I won’t be able to see this. Rooting for Adele, though! I would really appreciate it if anyone could post a link to watch it online. Thanks 🙂

I will keep looking for another link.
Thank you very much! This means alot, you have no idea how much 😀 Thank you 🙂
Thank you so much! That means alot to me, really alot 😀
http://www.grammy.com/live
you’re welcome, but it was just the red carpet, :(. I cannot find any reliable link, sorry
That’s okay 🙂 I actually found a link on Ústream 😛 Thank you, though 😀
I just did it too! I was about to post here, 🙂
Thank you! Man, you are very sweet 😀 I really appreciate the effort : DDDDDDDDD
She looks incredible! I love that woman.
It looks like the bottom left hand side of the cover photo has been photoshopped. It just seems a little…off. I don’t know why they feel the need to do that (if it is photoshopped); she is gorgeous on her own without “enhancing”.
She looks lovely, but (as all magazine covers are), she is photoshopped into oblivion.
I noticed that too, I don’t think she needs that much photoshop.
ah….yeah. She may very well have lost weight, but there’s no denying the shoppin that went on with that cover.
Also- I really, really dislike Beyonce. I hope she wins nuthin’ tonite.
I think they trimmed her down for the cover. The front of her stomach area is a straight line in that photo. It’s nice that they’re showing her body, but they must have made her look thinner. She’s a beautiful woman, shame they feel the need to edit her so much.
Adele has lost some weight and yes some peeps will hate her for that too. This looks like the bent her over so you would only see face and boobs. She is such a pretty girl so that’s fine with me. We’ll have to wait to see what they do with her inside.
what the heck Beyoncè has on her face/hair in that pic????
she looks bad there. really bad.
Seriously! She looks HORRIBLE.
David Guetta is FUGly, Ryan is interviewing him.
I’m looking forward to Adele’s performance. I am not looking forward to Jennifer Hudson singing a Whitney Houston song. Ugh.
Yeah, apparently she’s singing I Will Always Love You…. Not a good choice for J-Huds voice.
What are you all talking about? That photo of her is horrible. They photoshopped her so much she looks like a thinner, drag queenier version of herself.
Agreed!
Agreed! Where is the Adele I love so much, in all of her full beautiful natural glory? Her talent stands by itself~no physical gimmicks necessary for her. I hope she wins what she deserves~
I LOVE Adele…with or without Photoshop. She is real & likes food! Her Voice is from Another Universe. Adele is a Real Voice with a Genuine Soul.
Everyone else is dead to me.
I would never know that was Adele…geez, she is pretty without all that crap.
Can’t wait for Adele! I think I will get choked up for the Whitney tribute and I could care less about gaga.
I’m ready to see Beyonce’s b***hface when A) Adele wins EVERYTHING and B) No one cares to ask about her baby, her dress, her music, hell even how she’s doing, because everyone is too wrapped up in remembering a TRUE artist (Whitney)
Beyonce looks awful in that picture
I agree with you guys, I LOVE that Adele cover, she looks stunning and thinner than ever! LOVE HER!
Adele had lost some weight. I think she looks great although im not in love with the blond. Have you seen the video of her singing in her home? I couldn’t stop watching. I would post it but I’m on my phone.
Yes she has lost quite a bit of weight, she looks lovely (at the Grammys we are talking about). I wish she had kept the ginger hair though. Her make up was also beautiful.
Good Gawd!
Is that pic of ol’Bey from this evening?
Cuz gurl is hurtin
Did yall see Fergie? Mother of God, she looks awful!
Kelly Osbourne just said how do you prnounce Garcia? FACEPALM OR WHAT? Doesn’t she live in L.A. What a moron!
I know people are going to hate on fergie for her dress but I think its fun and fashion forward and fitting for the grammys.
Jessie j is the definition of bangs trauma
Does Bey’s lacefront have iridescent strands in it? That’s kind of budget.
I am completely in love with Dave Grohl. He has the best personality, he’s hilarious and I think he is soooo sexy.
Leave it to Anna Wintor to f*ck-up a naturally beautiful woman.
Hee! So true.
Who is the tranny that came as Beyonce?
Vogue team are going for Christina Hendrix vibe.
With all these Adele, Beyonce, Whitney talks, I’ve totally forgotten about Gaga. Look who’s trending on twitter, it’s Cyndi Lauper. hahaha
What i find ironic is her quotes about being different from “skinny girls with tits hanging out” which is exactly what this cover inspires me with a skinnier version of her real self and the tits of a non skinny woman hanging out.
If i market myself as being different from the bunch image wise, I would have never caved in doing those same typical seductive covers all starlets skinny or not do.
But i agree she is a MUCH better artist than all the rest. I am just not blind and am convinced that she will play the game like all the rest, just a question of time, of more exposure, media intrusion and you’ll see a skinnier Adel soon dressing differently…After all she has already shed some weight since she entered the scene and it’s not an hasard.
Your right just saw pictures of Adele at the Grammys and she lost a lot of weight.
you are conflating two issues with Adele. On one hand, people keep asking her if she feels compelled to fit a certain image to be successful. She said no. That’s an honest answer cause the girl got where she was being a big girl and wearing very modest clothes that are retro inspired, she usually is in dresses that don’t even hint at cleavage.
On the other hand, she’s said she wouldn’t mind be smaller. She has said she would like too, but at the moment she was too caught up in drink and food. So there’s a desire there to be smaller, she just hasn’t made the choice yet. And if she chooses to personally, it doesn’t mean she’s selling out professionally, it could simply mean she’s ready to be smaller.
And lastly, how she dresses herself as oppossed how she is styled for a photo shoot and then edited and shopped for a cover are two different things. The cleavage looks shopped to be honest, she’s not that busty, her waist isn’t that small. So so much of that image isn’t even something that originated with Adele, but with the folks at Vogue. Look at how she dressed tonight, similar 60’s inspired dress with a neckline all the way up to her neck. She’s not a hypocrite- tina fey said she does cover photo shoots and you just realize they are going to play with your image as they see fit, it’s nothing personal.
Adele has been photoshopped to oblivion. She lost weight but not that much. Also to those raging on Beyonce, it doesn’t look like she’s attending based on the seating cards but who knows.
Betcha the ratings go thru the roof this year…….Whatcha think?
Is that a top or a dress? It’s beautiful and so is she!
I don’t know about you guys, but Adele looked thiner on the red carpet…I guess the bad comments finally got to her
Well, that and the throat surgery may have affected eating habits as well.
Yeah but couldn’t her throat surgery have something to do with some weight loss?……you know like a liquid diet. It’s not like she’s the latest spokesperson for WW or JC
Where can I watch it online? The Grammys official stream is just annoying interviews…
Adele looks so pretty!
Adele has one down!
YEAH!
I hate chris brown. I hope he falls off of one of those blocks.
I said that out loud and then had to explain to my 9 year old why I wanted him to fall. I just can’t believe they would allow him to perform.
She is sooo beautiful but this cover is freaky! WAY too much (brown?) blush and eye makeup. scary. rooting for her though -even though the Grammy’s are a load of crap made to generate sales and are basically one huge commercial- hoping she’ll sweep.
I’m recording it and will go through and watch the parts I want to later, namely Adele’s stuff.
That last photo of Beyonce – her or a wax figure? Yikes.
Yay for Adele.
She looks stunning tonight. She’s always been stunning but she’s glowing tonight. She’s lost quite a bit of weight but it doesn’t look drastic either though. She looks the healthiest I’ve ever seen her. Though I do miss the more reddish tint to her hair. Looks straight up blonde tonight.
I had to change the channel when Chris Brown was on. Just because the entertainment industry has a too forgiving, incredibly short memory when it comes to violent crimes (especially against women) and homophobic comments, doesn’t mean I have to agree with it or watch it.
I’m not defending him but I find the hate for Chris Brown bizarre. You could throw a rock at the crowd and find a celebrity who did something just as bad if not worth and nobody cares.
Not really. What he did to Rhianna’s face was horrific.
That’s pretty out of touch, there are only a handful of offenses worse than domestic abuse, bigotry, and uncontrollable rage. He’s a ticking time bomb and the music industry is speeding up the clock.
please give us an example of any performer/person in the audience who was applauded who is known to have done worse things than Chris Brown.
oh, no one? okay, moving on.
I hate him, I don’t like his music, and he is a scum bag. he gets no money or respect from me.
What the hell is with the Beyonce-bot picture?! She looks like she was lab-created in that photo!
Oh, Fergie, really? Halloween isn’t until October.
Go Adele!
Damn. Colplay were great. Is it amendable or embarrassing that this was the most dressed Rihanna has been in a performance lately. And why is there a commercial break after every perfomance? It’s annoying.
Hah! Dave Grohl let some b!tches know. No more autotune!!!
Loved it!! =)
Agreed. He said what many have thought for a long time.
I cheered out loud at the tv with a big F*CK YEAH to that! Much respect to Dave Grohl.
Two people who should not be at the Grammys Paris Wonky eye Hilton and Rebecca Black! Seriously are you kidding me.
OMG! Foster and the people!
Adele looked good, I’m glad she won. Chris brown was meh. What kind of f*ckery is nicki minaj wearing (the red nun outfit)? She needs to leave that to Gaga. N I thought call were exaggerating bout beyonce (my phone takes a while to load pics) but damn…glad she’s taking a backseat this year. Rihanna sounded better than I thought.
Excited to hear beach boys 😉
Excited to hear the beach boys 😉
who was the group that played before them and then came out with them? I missed the intro.
It was Maroon 5 and then Foster and the People 🙂
Foster The People
Did Beyonce, Gaga and J-Hud perform already?
not yet.
Ive been sitting thru this just to see Adele and they’re probably going to save her for last. My ears are already sore from Rihanna’s performance. I dont know why but she always sounds awful on these shows and yet she makes faces like she’s really hitting some spectacular notes.
I know he was just a presenter, but Stevie Wonder is amazing!
I could not agree more!! When he came out I was really hoping he’d sing!
How cute were the beach boys? Omg
I have a soft spot for The Beach Boys the hubby and I had our first dance to “God Only Knows.”
Awwwww…. cute and romantic 🙂
Thanks ☺
Chrs Brown did NOT just win a Grammy! You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! Talk about slapping women of abuse in the face.
Edit: Thanks Macy! Yeah, Rihanna is not good live. One of those times where you wish someone lip synched.
Edit: I can’t believe Swifty was ever up for the role of Eponine. Damn. Is she sick or something?
Ridiculous that Chris brown performed twice. He wasn’t great either time. Rihanna was terrible too.
I didn’t watch his performances but Rihanna did really suck. I can’t believe he would even be considered for a performance/award. Despicable.
Adele four-for-four! Yay!
Adele – two for two!!!
Nope not sick that her true live singing voice. Sad isn’t it?
Nope not sick thats her true live singing voice. Sad isn’t it?
I think you were responding to me. Hah. Yeah, that is sad. Man, she sucked. Why is she famous again? And the faces she made after her performance. Ugh. The whole woe is me-bull is getting annoying.
Yay! Adele!
Edit: You can really tell that the true talent is few and far between at this award show. Some of these ‘performances’ are just downright embarassing (side-eye at Kate Perry, Swifty and Rihanna).
Katy Perry’s performance reinforces my opinion that as the level of talent declines, the amount of skin and theatrics increase exponentially .
Not to mention, a totally classless choice of song so soon after her divorce announcement. That was just mean. And her styling was hideous!
I thought the same thing! She had her PR team tout the divorce as amicable the whole time (and from the details that seems to be the truth) then goes on TV and performs a really mean spirited, you aren’t holding me down anymore song. It was a slap in the face to her ex. Maybe if he had taken her money I could understand, but the truth is she’s only milking the breakup for another undeserved hit song.
I am NOT okay with Chris Brown performing on the Grammys, and I am DEFINITELY NOT OK with him winning a Grammy.
This is completely unacceptable.
Yep!
Yes. Especially since Kelly Price was RIGHT THERE. What possesed them to give the award to him over her. The Acadamy has lost it’s credibility.
Agree. Completely. It actually disgusted me. I walked away.
Such a shame to see so many praising him.
Oooh… watching her on the Grammy’s now! She looks and sounds amazing!!! Love, love, love Adele so much!
Adele’s performance gave me goosebumps. The beginning alone was mind-blowing. She was aaaah-mazing. And she lookes absolutely stunning!
Umm Wow!
The cover is so photoshopped! She says she wouldn’t want to be a skinny minny with her breasts hanging out…not quite skinny here but definitely slimmer looking than she looks usually.
Not shopped, she just début-ed her weight loss at the Grammys Just be happy for her.
I just love everything about adele. She just really reaches my soul with her voice. She looked so great, I loved her dress and she nailed that song.
Juuuust how many times are you going to post tonight? Have you no life? There should be a rule.. people should only be allowed to post once per topic unless they are replying.
Binky, don’t be rude!
There are no “rules” about over posting. If there was I’d be guilty as charged!
Plus this is an “open post” meaning it’s following an event as it happens live, so multiple posts are totally appropriate imo.
wow that was quite rude. Its an open post…about an ongoing event. I’m just sitting at home watching the event…commenting about it on my favorite gossip site. I don’t see how thats any different than any of the other people on here. Calm it down sister.
Relax dude. I’ve posted more than Franny. It’s an Open Post. That’s what it’s for. Jeez. People have no manners anymore. Like she’s hurting you in any way, shape or form by posting her opinions. Damn.
Wow! Adele killed it! The voice of a generation.
you took the words right out of my mouth. that was fantastic!
DH and I were just commenting that her vocal control was not as good as before and that her low register was lacking. Love her, but I wouldn’t say she “killed it”. Hopefully she just needs to recoup some more and will be back in form next time!
@MsCat, I’m definitely not a popular music fan, and I have no formal music training whatsoever, but I was SUPER impressed with her performance (and it seemed like everyone in the audience was genuinely impressed as well).
My ten year old thinks she sounds like stevie nicks.
I say Stevie Nicks, Bonnie Rait and definitely Janis Joplin, all combined.
the thing is: all the other ‘singer’s today SUCK, so Adele is like a god in comparison. yes, she has a beautiful voice and writes lovely songs that have meaning. She’s very talented. But you can definitely hear her influences [no harm in this] and she is not ‘unique’ historically. she’s not that ingenue.
I am just saying this b/c ‘voice of a generation’, is a stretch, or it shows how the current generation is unfamiliar with it’s roots. Adele would know and acknowledge her musical influences; i’m sure she is quite versed, and listened to stevie, bonnie and janis, among other blues legends, growing up.
she’s a good singer/songwriter. she’s not a legend, yes.
I repeat: everyone else [pop singers] sucks so badly these days,and carries themselves with so little decorum, that she is a breath of class and graciousness.
Holy Hell, just saw her Grammy’s performance and WOW, she has lost SO much weight. Still looks beautifully curvy, but so much healthier. And that performance was amazing. Love her so much!!
Love Adele performance.
Did anyone see gwyneth paltrow? What the hell is wrong with her face, is it Botox, weight loss or plastic surgery she looks so bad.
I like to call it Karma…
😀
Shameful confession – i had a look at her Master cleanse on Goop and my jaw is still on the floor.
The girl is starving herself, literally. It doesn’t look like she consumes more than 1000 calories daily, and exercises for an hour and half everyday.
I am surprised she doesn’t have major health problems because she says she does this 4 times a year for 12weeks at a time…..
LOL JUST READ THESE COMMENTS. I hope everyone here eats their words, now. Though I know better, tbh.
She definitely lost a lot of weight BUT that cover is shopped to death. Looks like the red queen in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. Huge head, small body.
Adele was AWSOME!!!
You could tell sh was really nervous at first but then she really got into it.
I cant believe Rihanna was yapping on her cell phone during her performance, they showed it 2-3 times. How rude but it doesnt surprise me. I doubt these auto-tunes ones like Adele since she actually has a gifted voice and doesnt need auto-tune.
Rihanna is obnoxious and self important.
Well her range change but I still love her
Off Topic: The Artist swept The BAFTAs. Seven wins!! Best Film, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Original Music, Cinematography and Costume Design, and Best Leading Actor for Jean Dujardin. Wow
Well damn. That’s amazing!
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it does the same at the Oscars.
Me neither. Let’s face it, the artist is a great movie that is paying homage to the history of cinema…We all know the Academy love to award themselves… I am glad the last two awards were given to Dujardin
Yup, this is looking very good for DuJardin.
Adele, coldplay and Tony Bennett in the same evening!!! I’m in heaven!!!!!!!!!
Sadness and happiness at the same time. Jennifer did amazing.
Wow. Great job by J Hud, bit her saddlebags are distracting.
That corset just made her look lumpy.
i was distracted too.
That is a knit dress requiring proper smoothing undergarments because it is unforgiving.
You could see the lining of all her underclothes!!
Yep that made me tear up.
For the love of God JHud, you are NOT Whitney Houston….stop showboating and just sing….soft & simple would have done the trick.
OMG! I just want to slap some sense into all of those girls fawning over Chris. No self-respect. Am stopping the feed now and getting myself a cup of tea. Will not be a part of his idolization.
foo fighters!!! go dave grohl,show these young “artists” what sing live means!!! 🙂
YES! Glad they won 🙂
How many times are we going to have to suffer cheers for Chris Brown? Did you notice that the industry types in the front rows barely applauded after his “performance”? Some noticeably didn’t applaud at all.
Damn! Nikki is really bad! She can’t ‘sing’ (scream) live. I honestly wish some of these ‘performers’ would spare us all and just lip-synch.
Record of the year for Adele! Yay!
WTF Nikki Minaj. She’s the GaGa of rap. Strip her of that contrived act and you have a crap performer.
Also, was Amber Rose one of her backup performers?
LOL! The performances really do get suckier and suckier as the show goes on. You can really tell how much pop sucks (not meant to be mean) next to rock music and legends like Paul McCartney and Tony Bennett when sung live. They should all just step off. They are easily replaced. I don’t know why record companies insist on promoting no-talents when there are plenty of talentful people out there who DON’T need autotune.
Word. I was embarrassed for Nikki. It was awful on so many levels.
Adele – three for three!
WTG, Adele!
Swifty sucked. Smurfet had major camel toe. Oh she sucked too. J-Huds performance was okay but I guess I had higher expectations. Adele has lost weight but thats probs from the throat surgery. And Adele killed it, she was awesome!!! 🙂 so happy for her she deserves all her Grammy’s for real. But wtf was with nicki minja? Her ugly ass outfit, her face, her performance, the priest? It was not artistic if that’s what she thought.
If this comment posted more than once sorry I could not get it to publish so had to hit publish several times.
Adele swept the night! Well deserved.
And very well deserved:)
Go Adele!!!! Congrats!!! 🙂
What the hell happened to Beyonce and Lady Gaga’s performances?
Beyonce couldn’t work out how to re-focus the evening back to her!!! LOL
Album of the Year! And then some more awards.
Good on Adele.
It’s wonderful to know that a singer doesn’t have to gyrate like a cheap stripper to win anything. Lesson to the Rihannas and GaGas of this world who think simulated bondage and vaginas sell songs.
Adele looked lovely and sung beautifully. As the audience was standing and clapping I thought “Yeah they know this is actual talent not contrived, not a theatrical production, but rather an actual VOICE TO STOP YOU IN YOUR TRACKS.” Fitting to me that a beautiful, talented, soulful young woman swept the Grammy’s at a time when another just as beautiful, talented, and soulful woman was mourned at the same event.
Whitney’s music will live on because her talent was a VOICE TO STOP YOU IN YOUR YOUR TRACKS. Adele journey has just begun.
I don’t usually read Vogue, but I have a 14 hour flight next week that I will need to pick this up for. She’s so pretty – I want my makeup to look like that every day.
Adele just swept! She deserves it and looks great!
Jhuds tribute made me cry, beautiful. Although, you realize how moving Whitney’s voice actually was. Rip
And Chris brown, ugh. What a shame. He should’ve publicly apologized to RiRi during his acceptance speech!!!
Are you people BLIND? That is the most photoshopped picture I have ever seen. I was hoping this entire post was sarcasm. You can photoshop weight off – ever heard of “liquify?” Get a clue CB.
that pic is way photo shoped! However, she has nice cleavage there doesn’t she? She should emphasize her rack more, it’s the only sexy thing about her body….
I’m so glad Adele swept it! I was just a teeny bit disappointed with her performance..it sounds like she’s not quite all the way healthy yet (although she was still LIGHT YEARS better than anyone else!)
Adele. Amazing. Welcome back.
And a shout out to Dave Grohl for giving the “middle finger” to autotune. Love it!
🙂
Adele brings smiles on my face!
Holy hell, look at the mass wankery here.
I’m thrilled that Adele won every category, as she rightly deserves.
enough already of this overated bland singer, yawn
How can you not think THIS, of all things, is photoshopped????
Glad Adele swept all her categories!
Every time the camera went to Lady Gaga, I laughed. She looked like a moron.
Very glad I recorded and could forward through all the other crap, esp. Chris Brown, ugh.
Jennifer Hudson did a nice job. If anyone had to sing that tribute, she was the best choice. But a video retrospective or something, featuring Whitney’s voice, would have been nicer.
