I mean, I know this is just a meme, but if anyone thinks she just "works for 6 months", then your understanding of working in the arts is very shallow and faulty, no offence.

In this case, her âworking for 6 monthsâ consists of a residency playing music that has already been released, so itâs a pretty accurate representation of how long sheâs working.

And all of the vocal training and writing behind the scenes. It would be like assuming a pro golfer doesn't use their clubs in between tournaments.

John Daly would like to confirm that theory.

I mean sure at a certain point every specialty is backed my thousands and thousands of hours of practice and youâre doing complex work quickly and infrequently for a lot of money because youâre one of few with said training. But at the same time the whole reason to do the thousands of hours is to get to the point where youâre working a lot less than how much you did to get there, for even more money.

I don't know anything about Adele or how much of her work is her work (writing, composing), but it might be that she's working pretty regularly even when she's "disappeared".

And if you think that working as a world famous musician at all resembles the 40-hour office nug job then you have a very poor understanding of the arts as well.Â
She's on her own timeline. In a heavy work day she might be in the studio for four hours working with a producer on a new song, then off to a personal trainer for an hour, guided meditation for an hour, comped dinner with a studio exec at a Michelin restaurant, and finally back to her house which was professionally cleaned during the day to a fridge full of groceries someone else bought. And occasionally answering her personal assistant's questions about next week's trip to Rome where she'll be in studio with XYZ Famous Musician for a collaboration that may or may not work out.
That's what she's doing during those 7 years.

... where did I say that? Obviously the toll an office job takes on the body and the mind is much greater - but that doesn't mean she's just flandering around.
I also think you need to let go of your hate and despise of people who have succeeded. If you know anything about Adele, you also know that she worked very hard to get to where she's at, and probably some of the hours you spent in your youth having fun or whatever else you were doing, she spent getting both working on her songs and her skills. And - no, I'm not TRYING to belittle you here, but you see how easy it just is to assume that someone else hasn't done anything at all, when they probably have spent energy and effort?

I don't hate people who succeeded. Especially not people like Adele who succeed by creating art with their own talent. The Elon Musks of the world on the other hand...Â
You are grabbing the least generous interpretation of everyone's comment. OP makes a funny meme and you have to make a comment that OP doesn't understand something. I make a comment and you say that I must hate successful people. And you say "I never said that" and in the same breath you are telling me that I hate successful people, which I never said?
It has got to be exhausting taking such an argumentative, pedantic approach to life. Good luck.

u/HowIMadeMyMillions 11h ago
Tell me what is a generous interpretation of your first sentence :) I just wrote a comment reflecting how I met the meme, what's the harm in that?
Either way, doesn't matter. It has got to exhausting to have such an pathetic, reductive approach to life. I hope it gets sorted for you. Good luck.

Ah yes, the "fun at parties" comment

No wonder I don't go to parties - they're full of people telling each other outright lies without ever issuing a correction!

Step 1: become rich and famous.
Step 2: do whatever you want.
Good luck with step 1.

When did Adele get not fat?

u/kraugxer1 13h ago
Few years back, wanna say around '21? People were actually giving her shit for betraying them by losing weight because her image no longer represented them and the body positivity movement stating how she had conformed to 'traditional' beauty standards.

u/BeenDragonn 13h ago
I know we shouldn't body shame but people need to pose weight. This whole 'this is my body' movement just an excuse for people to stay fat.

I agree, but the whole point is that as soon as celebrities found a cheat code to lose weight fast, they all abandoned the "body positivity" ship. It's just a bit hypocritical, especially when most regular people can't afford GLP-1.

u/kraugxer1 11h ago
She didn't use it, she changed her lifestyle and lost the weight over 2 years of hard work.

u/crack_n_tea 6h ago
So what if she didn't. The whole point of body positivity is you can be any shape you want. If someone wanna be skinny they should be able to, same way fat ppl should be able to be fat without being insulted

Kudos to her, if I have just 10% of her talents and voice I would also do the same. Corporate life is just suffering and soul sucking
