It makes me wonder what those celebrities would look like if they were jut regular people. I mean adele looks so normal. Her looks may have changed a lot, but her interview, the way she talks and responds to question, it's basically still the same. She's very down to earth.

[@eniyahwilson5905]

I've always loved that about her. Shes always been so genuine and authentic, and you can tell that music really is her passion. And that she isn't just an industry plant who can sing in italics. Hard worker like Beyonce.

If you even so mutch as think of losing weight it's because you been brain washed in to believe it's the olny way you could ever be beautiful. 🙄

Watch out 25, 30's around the corner! Wow! I can't believe how very young and new to things she sounds here, though still totally herself. She's like 20 here? Crazy it's been 13 years since19, and now 6 since 25. Easy on me totally got me, and I look forward to 30. It's nuts that her first album released when I was seventeen. I honestly didn't know who she was before 25, though. Lived under a rock, I guess, didn't pay much attention to pop singers, but she's different. Definitely one of my favorite singers now
