Emeli Sandé Suffers Through The Insufferable Breakfast Club
Power 105.1 dubs The Breakfast Club “the world’s most dangerous morning show,” when in actuality, it’s the most incompetent, yet entertaining, radio show for urban pop culture.
Wendy Williams’ former sidekick, the woman who uses “the blogs” to opine and that other guy are equivalent to Love & Hip Hop characters—their asinine and ignorant behavior is absolved because they’re just “being real.”
Occasionally, a great interview seeps through the cracks (see: 50 Cent’s and Aunt Deb’s), but mostly, it’s ignorant hilarity (see: Webbie’s) or bootlicking fests (see: Jay Z’s).
In Emeli Sandé’s case, collectively, the crew did very little homework. To compensate, they hurled insults (‘Adele is successful because she’s fat and depressed.’), asked inept questions (‘Do you make love to your own music?’) and made her extremely uncomfortable (‘You want to have sex with Drake.’).
The entire interview was a wasted opportunity, considering Emeli is the best artist that will emerge this decade.
One thing I did learn, though, was that Ms. Adele Emeli Gouraguine is actually Mrs. Adam Gouraguine.
