- Crowning Moment of Awesome: That "Rolling In the Deep", a soul-folk song, made it to the top of the charts in the age of Ke$ha, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga.
- Not to mention she is now riding high with six Grammy awards but has also manged to get three songs in the Top Ten at Billboard charts at one time AND has made all-time album sales for 21.
- Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: In mid-2011, Adele did a tour with folk/country duo The Civil Wars as her opening act. Adele is such a big fan of theirs that in New York City, on the last night of the tour, she made a surprise appearance at the end of their set to give them a bouquet of flowers, tearfully adding "I've never had so much fun touring as I've had with these two."
- Crowning Music of Awesome: "Someone Like You", and every live performance of it.
- "Set Fire To The Rain" is pretty good, too.
- Even Better Sequel: See above.
- Fandom Rivalry: Her fans vs. Taylor Swift fans.
- Memetic Badass: The "cocaine ninja" in the video for "Rolling in the Deep". It's actually a woman dancing in flour.
- Tear Jerker: "Someone Like You" which SNL already parodied in this sketch with host Emma Stone.
