Adele: I couldn't afford London so I moved to LA

What!?!

She said she could only get the compound she wanted in LA.

That’s because Russians and Arabs have bought all the available “compounds” in London.

by Anonymousreply 1October 10, 2021 6:56 PM

so if her 3 homes in LA total $30 million, she doesn't think $30 million in London would give her an acceptable home? lol that seems like a crazy thing to say. Sure she would have less property but $30 million is still A LOT anywhere

she is 1 of the most overrated singers in history. Can she sing? Yes but there are thousands of singers who are much better than her. She has a very limited range and all her songs sound alike. She also is unable to go on a full tour because her voice always goes out due to poor technique. So she's quite lucky she became so rich off mostly album and single sales

Well, at $5,000 per sq ft for London, that would get her 6,000 sq ft.

London property taxes aren't horribly high in comparison to some places, but if she would get a 'share of freehold' place with porterage, the monthlies can be absolutely off the charts, and over a couple of years including the FV of all that spent, would make LA a bunch cheaper.

It's hard to tell which city (LA or London) has more Eastern European gangsters or dodgey Arabs, so that's a wash, but there deffo is a lot more culture stuff in London.

Is Adele a step up from the autotune "singers?" Absolutely but people these days act like she's on par with Whitney, Aretha, Mariah, Barbra, Donna etc and that is laughable. The decline of the music industry standards in the last 20 years has made Adull seem much more talented than she is.

It is a bit of a bullshit excuse, she clearly just wants to live in LA (probably combination of career and love life). Which is fine but she clearly doesn’t want to come out and say that for fear of betraying her roots or something.

There is a grain of truth - if she wanted to buy a huge house in the very centre of London (e.g. Kensington Palace Gardens, Mayfair etc) then yes it probably would cost £100m +. But she’d never want to do that anyway, those areas are in the middle of London’s tourist trail and she’d be bombarded with fans outside her house 24/7.

She could buy somewhere much more secluded (and still huge) in Hampstead for £30m, or buy somewhere palatial in Surrey for that price. And still be in central London quicker than it takes to drive down the 405…

And the fresh air? Please, LA weather is obviously better than London but the air pollution in LA is definitely worse. Just say you wanna lounge by the pool in a caftan all day. We’d understand!

R33 is a perfect example. $34MM for ONE house in London. In LA she got three large sprawling houses for less - and with yard, privacy and quiet.

I’ve always thought there was a correlation between LA living and London as much as NY. London’s spacious homes tend to require driving and overall things just seem lower density and therefore spread out. Maybe not as sprawling as LA - but not as compact and easily walkable like NY.

I did find it odd that such an English type girl chose LA. But it must be a dream for a girl from dark, drab, dreary London living to live in the lush, sunny oasis of Beverly Hills. Seems like more Brits choose LA nowadays rather than NY.

If she wanted some massive spread in central London those places barely exist outside property owned by the Queen. Look at the Beckhams, living on the street in a tall townhouse. However, just outside London in Hertfordshire she could afford somewhere super vast, although they don't tend to be compounds so she'd have to build the walls and add extra security.

To give you an idea, Harry Styles' place in Hampstead is worth 5m and it's only got four bedrooms and is ,metres away from a main road and has a tiny garden. And Hampstead isn't central London, it's in Zone 2.

Adele admitted to being an alcoholic in that Vogue interview, in common with other British singers such as Ed Sheeran, Lewis Capaldi, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson. Those guys live to sit in pubs and drink 12 pints. Niall even brags about the amount he drinks and is the face of Guinness Beer and Louis SINGS about it in We Made It - 'cheap drinks/drink em all night.' Louis was videoed blind drunk in a football bar at every Euros match. Liam admits he's an alkie who struggles terribly to give up booze as he loves to party.

Adele said that 'five bottles of wine' have barely any effect on her and she can still 'hold a conversation' after drinking them. She also said she drinks every day and it starts 'earlier and earlier'.

She should just come out and admit that she's in LA for the weather, ocean and scenery.

Adele has/had a gorgeous orchestral sound to her vocal production that is natural and unique to her voice. Her tone is horn like and reedy, but full blooded and raspy too. At will. She's is a much better singer than Amy Winehouse but not as vocally gifted as Dusty Springfield. These three greatest white female soul singers from the UK. Hey to their other best singer - Annie Lennox. None of them have been overestimated. Adele just has genius marketing and a personality that she knows the public could easily get too much of. Her personal reticence with fame and fear of failure works brilliantly with people thinking she's making them wait. And then, she's 30! At 33, ha.

Love her or not, Adele is not about fraud or fraus. She's a gifted and soulful singer with amazing grace notes and meaningful phrasing. She grew up loving the Spice Girls, Etta James, MJ Blige and Ella Fitzgerald. It all shows. Her vocal quality just resonates and her tone hits people in the solar plexus in a similar way to Whitney or Gladys Knight or Garlands. It's a big drum beat trumpet kind of a voice with all this gorgeous texture and heart. And her phrasing was very tender and artful before she became so concerned with being a constant DIVA. She had those long legato vocal lines and signature grace notes - very subtle derivations from the melody that are harmonically so captivating. That rumble of power.

She would never be in the same stratosphere as Whitney. She's not. But she has prove herself to be great. There is hardly an old school musician or singer who doesn't praise Adele as the real deal.

Yep, I agree R109. R107 is brilliant and insightful. A successful musician and singer. Style points.

Who is R110? He seems very disturbed.

Oh please, just stop.

She has the worst diction, she sings like she has a mouth full of oatmeal. The slurring is not cool or interesting. Phrasing? What phrasing?

She is no where near the level of greats.

R14 everyone and their grandmother knows the London property market is insane. It's tasteful of her to say that a London townhouse wouldn't be enough for her and she needs an LA "compound" with a pool, guesthouses etc. Sounds like you're fucking idiot for not understanding how gross that statement is.

They don't have the same kind of houses in London. The pool of modern homes or let's just say homes not plagued with old time living is sparse. Redoing a house completely is hugely expensive and you still may not get any property with it. In LA fabulous houses with indoor-outdoor living lots of pools and easy living.

If you're talking strictly housing then LA wins by a mile.

R119 lol no one is saying Adele can't sing. Many feel correctly that she is quite overrated. Her tone is ugly. Her technique is horrid. How many times does her voice fail? and it's not like she pumps out music every year either. When you only come out with albums every 5 years and your voice still fails before the age of 30, that's not good.

by Anonymousreply 132October 11, 2021 4:12 AM

R125 is a very strange person. Obsessed with ugliness. Whitney had the greatest voice of the last 50 years. I think the post at R107 was in reference to the quality of her voice. She could obviously emote, given that she is one of the top ten selling artists of all time. More remarkable with only 7 studio albums and three soundtracks. Whitney has the biggest selling single by a female of all time, the biggest selling soundtrack album of ANY time and the biggest selling gospel album of ALL time. She charted 7 number ones singles consecutively. Besting the Beatles and not yet surpassed. Her voice and beauty and emotion were a phenomenon. One that continues. Whitney sold more records in 20 years than Streisand did in 50!!

Her vocal talent was gargantuan. Astounding. It flooded the senses. To say she could not emote is to deny that the world is round. At her best, she was a seismic performer in charge of the most beautiful gift. Her heart was on display. There is a repeat or replicant for most everything in life. Not Whitney Houston.

If she's drinking 5 bottles of wine at a time she'll be dead from cirrhosis before she's 50. Anyone who would admit that publicly is clearly a fool.

The second I read she was close friends with that Corden thing I lost all respect for her. I live for the day he has to do a Morgan (a Piers Morgan) and flee back to jolly old England. He's simply noxious.

I'm always amazed at how so many celebrities will lie when the truth would be better. She could have simply said "the type of property I wanted is not available in London, so I moved to LA". But she obviously thought telling that lie would give her more attention for some strange reason.

Face it, Adele doesn't want to live on that tiny Isle of Misery to listen to all you losers run her down for being a success. That's why so many Brits run screaming once they succeed. If there's one thing a Brit can't stand is one of their one breaking loose of their shackles of mediocrity to live a better life elsewhere

by Anonymousreply 153October 11, 2021 12:28 PM

Not sure why some people are complaining. She basically says LA (in her opinion) has a better quality of life, nicer weather and she can buy the type of property she desires at a much more realistic price in LA than in London. She has also bought three houses next to each other for $30 million (not one property for $30 million), in one of which her ex-husband lives so he can be near their kid.

[quote]“Most of my life is in a car or inside a building,” she says; the lot of the famous. “I wanted fresh air and somewhere I could see the sky. Also, once I had Angelo, in England if you haven’t got a plan with a young child and it’s raining, you’re f**ked. And the kind of house I have in LA I could never afford in London. Ever.”

She also doesn't own one house in LA that cost $30 million, but three houses next to each other that all together cost $30 million, in one of which lives her ex-husband so he can be close to their kid.

[quote]And the kind of house I have in LA I could never afford in London. Ever.” I mean, you probably could, no? “No, I looked at houses. It’s like hundreds of millions of pounds. I don’t have that much money at all. I’d throw up.”

I don’t understand people who try to describe Adele’s voice as ugly. She has a natural vocal quality that is super humanly beautiful, something that evokes a pleasure response on an animal level. That’s what people mean when they compare her voice to Whitney’s or Aretha’s, both of whom were very different but also had voices that could grab you and speed up your heartbeat.

Neil Young is a talented musician with an ugly voice. Adele has a gorgeous voice.

I hate all her singles starting with Hometown Glory. “I like it in the city when two worlds collide/ You get da people and da government/ Everybody taking different sides”.

R70 I doubt she is running from house to house like a Benny Hill Sketch. One is probably a guest house, which makes sense because it isn’t like there are any hotels near by. And one is perhaps for family members or staff members.
