During the show, Alan Carr jokingly mentioned that having Adele over at his house on Saturdays has become a regular occurrence. They used to watch X Factor together, but now that Adele has skyrocketed to fame, their Saturday nights have taken a different turn.
But it’s not just the dog incident that got people laughing. Adele also opened up about her highly-anticipated album, 21. She admitted that she tried to bite her tongue and be more honest on this record, but ended up being just as candid as before. She jokingly expressed concern that being so honest might come back to bite her in the future.
When asked about the theme of her album, Adele revealed that it is a break-up album. Although she didn’t reveal specific details about the person who inspired the songs, she did mention that he wasn’t as bad as her first boyfriend, whom her first album was about. She added that it was more devastating to fall out of love and lose the fun in a relationship than to have someone cheat on her.
Adele also spoke about the titles of her albums, 19 and 21. She explained that her first album had her face on the cover, but for her second album, she decided to feature her entire face. Alan Carr cheekily asked if she made these albums for identification purposes in pubs, much to the amusement of the audience.
The conversation then shifted to Adele‘s skyrocketing success in America. While she may be a megastar in the UK, not many people realize just how huge she is in the States. Adele shared that her popularity in the US took off after her performance on Saturday Night Live, which she initially didn’t realize was a big deal. She also mentioned a funny encounter with Sarah Palin, who wanted to meet her backstage but was surrounded by Adele‘s fiercely loyal and slightly disapproving gay team.
As the interview continued, Alan Carr asked Adele about a story involving P. Diddy. Adele revealed that she was on a video shoot when she drove past a studio where P. Diddy was filming a commercial. In an attempt to slow down and play it cool, she accidentally hit the accelerator, causing a momentary panic that she had run over the famous rapper. Luckily, it was just a close call, but it became a funny anecdote for Adele to share.
During the conversation, Adele also reminisced about her time at the Brit School, a performing arts institution in London. She described how the school was filled with talented individuals and vividly recalled moments of people miming in hallways and dancers with their legs behind their heads, all while enjoying her white bread snack.
The episode concluded with Adele performing her hit song “Rolling in the Deep,” leaving the audience in awe of her incredible vocals. Overall, it was another entertaining and memorable episode of Alan Carr: Chatty Man, filled with laughter and candid moments from the superstar Adele.
