Adele : Gracefully dealing with stage anxiety and the pressures of the pop industry

by

It’s been a while since I’ve actually found an artist in this genre whose music I’ve actually wanted to download onto my playlist.  Most of the songs I have on rotation are a hodge podge collection of old school artists that I never grow tired of.  However, it was just begging for something fresh!

I was at a friend’s flat when I heard her first streaming through my buddy’s iTunes and I was instantly hooked.  Earning two Grammy awards in 2009 for Best New Artist of the Year and Best Female Vocal Performance, 23 year old British singer Adele made my jaw drop with those set of pipes that just rocks your core and moves the earth!  That girl has her soul in her music and it reaches out to you.  True to this, Beyonce complimented the young artist saying that listening to her feels like listening to God!

Hearing that from the ravishing pop diva herself can make a successful budding artist end up with creating their own alter ego!  And from that day, Sasha Carter became Adele Laurie Blue Adkins’ alter ego who may just as well be a bootylicious half Black and half Caucasian woman who sings dark bluesy music in a British accent.

But who needs an alter ego when you’ve got such an amazing talent? Apparently, the refreshing luscious singer has stage performance anxiety. She confesses her dislike for tours as this has her hiding away and running out through fire exits in a vomit fit and even hurling projectile puke on someone.

At least that’s not due to an eating disorder as she admits her disdain for working out. The rather curvy singer, who is currently on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine, oozes with a rather subtle sensuality to her classic beauty.  Adele believes in enjoying good food and wine and not go ape on cutting calories just to be able to show some skin like most young pop stars these days.   Although she admires Katy Perry’s décolletage and her derriere, Adele says that she makes music to be appreciated with one’s ears …and not with one’s eyes.

Travis Stork M.D. – Forever A Bachelor?

by

What’s become of former Bachelor Travis Stork and his love life? Post finale of the show’s 8th episode, The Bachelor: Paris — where the hunky and chiselled emergency physician from Nashville, Tennessee proposed to school teacher Sarah Stone who incidentally lived a few blocks away from his own home. However, the 6’5” mild mannered doctor ended up back on the drawing board of bachelorhood soon after the show’s season ender was aired.

From the first air date of The Bachelor episode 8, women from the all corners of the world have had a keen eagle eye on the progress of the show, coupled with wishful thinking and envy. Although Travis Stork and Sarah Stone’s relationship didn’t work …not much hoopla was made from their break up, which is what practically helped Stork maintain a good reputation with his followers.  Out of  all the featured bachelors who had their own great thing going about and the lives they live, Dr. Travis Stork stands out to this very day untainted from the drama, and the catty musings of the women he had to bask in for an entire season.  He has managed to keep a low profile and still sizzle with his hotness on screen with a career boost, as the leading talk show host for “The Doctors”.

Apart from his successful show, he has also written a few time and money worthy books such as  “The Lean Belly Prescription “, “The Doctor is In “ and “Don’t be That Girl “ .  In the latter book, Stork shares his expertise and experience on the physiological and psychological factors that affect a person’s emotional well being, particularly, some self-defeating behaviours and date patterns of women.

The man has certainly had his share of women in his life to recognize these behaviours he has written about.  And although he may not necessarily be the end-all expert, this particular book  cuts through the heart of any woman stuck in that rut in a rather insightful and candid humorous way.

So who hold’s half the heart of the real life Dr. Mc Steamy of Vanderbuilt  University Medical Center?  Will he ever marry?  The  last known woman he has been seen dating in public was American Idol Carrie Underwood. And no one really knows how that panned out.  Some followers say the good doctor has been quietly dating his former girlfriend of 5 years and rekindling their relationship.

Travis Stork M.D enjoys his humble,  low key and mysterious reputation with the media and that, in itself, is rather a true trait of a  seriously sexy man.
