Well, I don’t like her personality and I think her voice is ugly, but studying English literature is a fairly innocuous ambition, surely?

Not sure why she’s getting stick for it, is it because she’s getting ideas beyond her station? Intellectual snobbery! :rofl:

She’s made a couple of bob, now she wants to go for her other interests, maybe get a bit more education, fine by me. Hey, perhaps she’ll encourage others to have a bash too

Perhaps she’s going to do Open University? They do an English Literature degree, you study at home and no entrance qualifications required. It costs an arm and a leg nowadays but I’m sure she can afford it :pound::pound::pound:

I remember the big fuss when she went into a posh bookshop and bought £1000 worth of books to use as decoration and scene setting for her Zooms. Perhaps she feels she bought them so might as well read them :woman_shrugging:

Adele has “mentioned” her ambition before:

The ‘Someone Like You’ singer is currently in the middle of her massive ‘Adele Live 2016’ world jaunt, which stopped off in Boston over the weekend, which shares a state with the prestigious Harvard university.

During the concert, Adele told the crowd: “I’m desperate to go to university. I know that sounds ridiculous but it’s one thing I really plan on doing. I was about to start university in Liverpool in England and then I got offered a record deal, so I was like, ‘Ugh, what do I do?’ Obviously I took the record deal which I don’t regret at all."

AFAIK, no “official” biography contains references to Adele’s university offer … :017:

I always have two thoughts when I read about a celeb wanting to improve themselves;

  1. Good luck to them.
  2. Who cares?

I really don’t give a monkey’s as they mean nothing to me.

She did graduate from some performing arts college course, which will probably have had a some UCAS points attached to it, which might have been enough for her to enrol on a foundation degree course. She may well even have applied to UCAS, but not taken it any further once offered a lucrative record contract.

She attended this place

A quick flick through some courses indicates that the qualifications are equivalent to 3 A levels.

So, it remains a possibility.

Although, it would be a leap to change from a vocational style of learning to a more traditional format, coupled with the associated assessment methods.

Mind you, loads of comedians who swear all over the shop in life as well as their routines are graduates. I’m not averse to a bit of swearing myself, come to think of it.

Adele is relatively easy listening music, her singing voice belies her broad accent. If she feels the need to go to Uni to feel better about herself, then, why not?

Try reading Middlemarch on a kindle. That’ll get most people effing and jeffing while they flick back trying to remember something mentioned earlier, or have to go online nearly every other page to Google something or look a word up in the dictionary.

Adele plans to take a break from music after her Las Vegas residency.

In addition to a degree, Adele said she would like to pursue an acting career. She revealed that she has reached out to “Elvis” director Baz Luhrmann and expressed a desire to work with him.

“I sent him a text saying, ‘I wish I was in this movie, please don’t retire, let me do something,’” she told fans.

“But I wouldn’t sing in it,” she added. “I would act, but only one movie. I’d come, do one movie, nail it, and f— off.”

What then, I wonder … :thinking:

An environmental philanthropist … :question:

But first … Las Vegas … :musical_note:

I don’t watch a lot of British TV but, even so, many of those names are familiar to me … :laughing:

It’s harder to find singers with credible academic backgrounds.
