GRAMMY WINNER ADELE: Five years off? More like five days

Adele mentioned in the March issue of Vogue that she wants to take “four or five years” off, but the singer seems to have amended that to five days.

In a bubbly blog post on her site – titled “5 was my favourite number but now it’s 6″ – the 23-year-old relishes her six wins at the Grammys on Sunday.

“I’m absolutely flabbergasted! In between laughing my head off, welling up, needing to sit down and trying to maintain an open fire…I keep having flashbacks to Sunday night,” she writes. “The most incredible night of my life.”

Even though we all know how much of a success Adele was in 2011, she swears she didn’t think she stood a chance at the awards ceremony.

After issuing more gratitude, particularly towards her fans – or “daydreamers” – she writes, “The night itself was so amazing, I met so many incredible people and everyone we’ve lost this year were on our minds and in our hearts and it was lovely to remember them all together as fans and friends.”

Next up, after a few days of rest for the singer, is another performance at the Brit Awards, and then “it’s straight into the studio,” she writes. “Five years? More like five days!”

And it’ll be interesting to see what she rolls out next. Adele (full name: Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, if you’re curious) told Vogue that now that she’s in a relationship with beau Simon Konecki, she’s ready “to write a happy record, and be in love and be happy.”

“He’s wonderful,” Adele says of Konecki. “And he’s proud of me, but he don’t care about what I do or what other people think. He looks after me. I don’t think I would have gotten through the recovery for my surgery if it hadn’t been for him.”

It sounds like he might also lend some inspiration. “I am never writing a breakup record again, by the way,” she says. “I’m done being a bitter witch.”

FROM ADELE’s BLOG:

5 WAS MY FAVOURITE NUMBER BUT NOW IT’S 6

Oh goodness!! I’m absoloutly flabbergasted! In between laughing my head off, welling up, needing to sit down and trying to maintain an open fire (which is pretty much impossible huh!?) I keep having flashbacks to Sunday night. The most incredible night of my life. Thank you to you all, I am so overwhelmed, it’s the strangest feeling. I have constant butterflies and goosebumps, it’s wearing me out but I LOVE it! I’ve been sleeping a lot but the minute I wake up I burst out laughing and it starts all over again.

I forgot to mention so many people by name on the night, and for that I’m sorry. I will say thanks to your face when I next see you. I was totally unprepared. Despite the phenomenal year, I swear I didn’t think I had any chance. All the categories were full of people I adore with brilliant songs, records and performances. So not in my wildest dreams did I think to actually prepare anything proper to say just in case.
Thank you to everyone who enjoys my music, and to all the “daydreamers” (i love that you call yourselves that. I read all your messages and threads from time to time and you crack me up x) it seems like you pass 21 on and want people to hear it and it’s because of that that it’s evolved into something that we should all be very proud of. All of this is yours – the songs, the shows, the moments like this. Not that there’s any other moments like this one, but you get my drift…. Ha!

The night itself was so amazing, I met so many incredible people and everyone we’ve lost this year were on our minds and in our hearts and it was lovely to remember them all together as fans and friends.

I’ve a few days off now, and then it’s the Brit Awards here at home and then I’m straight into the studio. BOYYAHH! 5 years? More like 5 days!
