Last night I kicked off my Hollywood Bowl season with a concert by Adele, the 2009 Grammy Award winner for Best New Artist. Adele claims that she was influence by the music of Etta James in her teens, when by accident she stumbled on the artists' CDs in a local HMV store while looking for a new hairdo. She loved the blond waves and glimmer gold dress worn by Etta James on the album cover. Sunday nights line-up was to be Etta James followed by Adele. But alas, Etta was too ill to perform. Adele gave the sold-out audience exactly what they wanted including her hit, "Chasing Pavements". She charmingly added, as you say in America, "Sidewalks." It was a lovely night to be at the Bowl and at one point Adele got out her cell phone and the crowd said 'hi' to her mum!http://www.HollywoodBowl.com
