How Adele Stopped the World to Give George Michael a Perfect Goodbye

Adele stepped onto the 2017 Grammy stage and did something no superstar ever does. She went five for five that night and took home every single trophy she was up for. She was not afraid to admit when things were not perfect. She was there to honor the late George Michael. She refused to give anything less than her best. You really need to see the moment she stood her ground.

She was off key and she could not hide it. Most singers would just keep going and hope no one noticed. Adele stopped the whole orchestra right in the middle of live television. She apologized for the slip and insisted on starting over because she loved George Michael too much to fail him.
