Expert analyzes Adele’s body language, concluded
Patti analyzed the singer's acceptance speech, "Adele walks up to the stage to get the award and her mouth turns downward and her lips go tight. This shows she's suppressing her true emotions.
"She's holding it together but then also looks at the camera at one point, and Adele smirks.
"She's performing, as her language is humble in the acceptance speech but her face and dress and her accent are all pushed. It's all a complete mismatch.
"Our baseline for Adele is that our memory of her is down to earth and humble. In our consciousness that she is this way, humble and fun.
"In the shower statement, she wanted to be funny, and was an attempt by her to say she's just a real person making a joke and making songs in the shower.
"Then she doesn't know what to say and looks lost but her language then goes a bit OTT. Towards the end of the speech, it seems pushed. This speech was cut off and she thought she would be on stage again," Patti said.

"It's an alpha dress which makes her shoulders look bigger.
"Her hair and her makeup are all chosen specifically to win big and for her to be the center of attention," she said.
