访谈录 阿黛尔如何平衡家庭生活和音乐事业

 Adele is speaking out about her record-breaking success and the challenges of balancing motherhood with her overwhelming¹ fame. The singer revealed her surprising secret sauce to "Time" magazine. So why is everyone walking around singing "Hello." Well, one, because it's really catchy², but Adele thinks it's because she's not afraid to look like she's falling apart and people can always relate to vulnerability³. Yeah, I agree with that. As for family life the typically private mom reveals her son has made her feel more purposeful than ever before. But be warned she says she's a lioness when it comes to her son and boyfriend. Everyone says that about parenthood, like you'll feel immediate⁴ purpose. 

 

Yes,

 

You guys all agree? 

 

Agree. I'd like to know about that song. Has she ever talked about…is it that she just wants to become friends with an old love? Every time I listen to it which is option (?) , because it’s on every other song, but has she ever talked about it? 

 

I don't think she's gone into what the song is about. But have you noticed when you're driving down the street people are screaming it -- men, women, children -- out their window?. 

 

Walking through my living room, yeah. 

 

Yes, I mean…Your daughters? Yeah. Maybe Ali, I don't know. 

 

He was referring to himself actually. I wasn't kidding. 

 

We are rolling on that fact happen. Rob, get in here. 

 

Next step, a major exclusive⁵ announcement this morning, sure to kick off the new year for Swifty fans on a high note. Taylor Swift will be ringing in 2016 by releasing the video for her hit song "Out of the woods", which she performed right here in Times Square. The world premiere of the sixth music video of Swift's Grammy nominated⁶ album "1989" will be on Ryan Secret’s new year's rocking eve which airs right here on ABC December 31st at 8:30 P.M. Eastern. And if her other videos are any indication that she never goes out of style, this next one is sure to be out of our wildest dreams. 

 

Well done, there.

 

Yeah!

 

She always outdoes herself. Her videos are great. 

 

Yeah. There are few people though on the scene like…Beyonce is another one. Every time she does something, you can't keep going at this…yes, you can. Amazing. 

 

George has been known to sing Taylor Swift as well in the living room. 

 

I really want to know…

 

You're throwing him under the bus. 

 

No, that would be me, that would be me. 

 

Do you do that, George? Is that your playlist? 

 

I have heard George singing One Direction, true story. 

 

I do sing One Direction. 

 

Dan sings Katy Perry. I've heard it. 

 

George, as your adviser⁷, don't admit that ever again. 

 

And finally, it's time for the ultimate matrimonial mash-up. 

 

It’s a point about honor building. This is what Adele has taught us. So there we go. Sorry. Go ahead.

 

Dan, Please. 

 

Go ahead. 

 

We've got an ultimate matrimonial mash-up we’ve all been waiting. The tatums are taking over a lip-sync battle. Take a look at this teaser. 

 

“I just really hope my marriage isn't over after tonight.” 

 

“We're a house divided at the moment. We're going to war.” 

 

Channing simply refuses to let it go and Jenna is bringing it with a little bit Magic, Mike. And how cute is that like we know deep down he's probably cheering for her too. 

 

Yeah. 

 

No, he wants to win. 

 

She was hot in that teaser. She’s channeling "Magic Mike". Yeah, she is a hottie.
