00:00From her golden dress and breathtaking performance in that chair, to Blue Ivy clapping for her
00:08mommy, it was all about Beyonce's at the Grammys.
00:11And although B did grab two trophies herself, some folks are side-eyeing Adele's offer
00:16to share her Grammy for Album of the Year with her, and for applauding Beyonce's music
00:20for what it did for her black friends.
00:23Sydney Portis wrote on Facebook, I wonder if Beyonce would have done the same thing
00:26had she won the Grammy.
00:28I doubt it.
00:29Gregory A. Butler wrote on Essence.com, so you're mad at Adele for not being a grad
00:34school, perfect intersectional womanist?
00:36Here's an idea.
00:38Why not graciously appreciate her comments in the spirit in which they were intended?
00:43And as for the black friends comment, Amber Petty wrote, Beyonce is not a representative
00:47of all women.
00:49She is a representative for black women.
00:51Adele knows this and paid homage to what Beyonce represents for her culture.
00:55I appreciate it and immensely respected that.

01:11People are used to people being shady that they miss true sincerity, which was an interesting
01:15point.
01:16Maria Harrison said, Adele knew that she didn't deserve it so she did it out of guilt.
01:19Shady comment.
01:20Yvonne Wright Johnson says, I truly believe that Adele was being genuine.
01:25She is very humble.
01:26I know she's been hurt so many times, so she wants to do the right thing.
01:29And one of my favorites from Terry Butts who said, when Adele said my black friends, I immediately
01:33was like gulp, here comes the backlash.
01:36So that was interesting.
01:37I felt good about Adele's comments and you Kayla.
01:40I thought she was sincere.
01:41When she first started to speak, I was thinking 2014 Grammys, Macklemore, Kendrick Lamar.
01:46Like what's happening right now?
01:47Uh oh.
01:48Take your Grammy and just say thank you.
01:49But I heard the whole thing and I do think she was sincere.
01:51And let's not forget, she broke the award in half.
01:54That's huge.
01:55That happened.
01:56Touching.
