在2012年2月12日舉行的第54屆格萊美頒獎禮上，Adele一舉奪得被提名的全部六個獎項，包括三個音樂界的最高榮譽獎：album (“21”), record （"Rolling in the Deep”）and song of the year ("Rolling in the Deep”)，還獲得了best pop solo performance (“"Someone Like You”), best pop vocal album (“21”) and Best Short Form Music Video（"Rolling in the Deep”）。而在2009年憑借一首“Chasing Pavements”，當時年僅21歲的Adele就贏得了格萊美兩項大獎：最佳新人，最佳流行女歌手。

她的首張專輯《19》便獲得了英國水星音樂獎的提名，並在英國專輯排行榜上得到第一名的佳績。這張專輯在英國銷量超過500,000份，世界各地銷量超過一百二十萬張。於2011年初發行的第二張專輯《21》更是讓全球數千萬歌迷為之傾倒！

Adele是位唱作型歌手，喜歡寫詩的她，在寫歌詞的時候亦有滲進其中，盡顯才情。她寫出“Hometown Glory”這首歌的時候隻有16歲！Adele自我描述她的音樂風格為“sad soul”。她那渾厚低沉的嗓音，惹人心碎的情感穿透力與充滿真摯激情的演譯，讓無數樂迷傾倒，也在當今流行樂壇譜寫出新的神話。Adele 可能也是當今極為流行的social network 的最大受益者，她當初就是把自己的歌曲放在“My Space”上而被發現。還值得一提的是，“Turning Table”這首歌還是她與朋友在中餐館吃飯時，被那大餐桌上的旋轉餐台激發出的靈感而寫出的！2011年9月22日Adele在倫敦舉行的一場現場音樂會“Live at the Royal Albert Hall”, 現場為癡迷的歌迷們演唱了多首名曲。在演唱會上，Adele也向大家展現出了她多彩的性格，以及她超強的唱功，非常精彩非常過癮！在帖的最後也附上這場演唱會的Youtube 視頻。
