Ever so ’umble? Leave it out, gel...

CONGRATULATIONS to Adele for delivering what was, by all accounts, a barnstorming set on the first night of her long-awaited Las Vegas residency. I do wish, though, that she would drop the ‘girl from Tottenham’ schtick. ‘I’m f***ing s **** ing myself,’ she said, arriving on stage to deafening cheers. Really? I’m not saying she should forget her roots, or pretend to be something she’s not, but she’s such a huge talent, such a consummate performer, that the ’umble little me’ act just feels a bit… well, laboured. Especially when she’s reportedly being paid £2million a week.
