The voice hasn't gone anywhere.
Adele proved that right away during her performance at Sunday's Grammy Awards, where the British singer, and four-time winner, belted the opening notes of her hit "Rolling in the Deep" a capella.
Soon, though, the singer's band kicked in, adding some musical fire. Grinning throughout her song, and backed by a line of dancing backup singers and bright white lights, Adele received a standing ovation after she finished singing. The camera lingered as she smiled and soaked up the applause.

As medics arrived to an unresponsive Whitney Houston in room 434 of the Beverly Hilton on Saturday, the late pop star's daughter had also heard the news and had a "complete breakdown," according to a source.
Bobbi Kristina, 18, was in the lobby of the hotel around the time when Houston's body was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m.
Houston was found partially submerged in the bathtub of her room, according to the source.
"[Bobbi Kristina] was screaming, 'What's wrong with her? What's wrong with her?," says the source.

It will be another six to eight weeks before it's determined what killed singer Whitney Houston at age 48, a Los Angeles coroner official said Sunday.
"We need additional testing," Coroner Assistant Chief Ed Winter told reporters. "We won't make that final determination until all the tests are in."
Citing a security hold on the case, Winter would only confirm that Houston's body was found in the bathtub in her hotel room at the Beverly Hilton.
"There were no visible signs of trauma on the body," he said.

Macaulay Culkin Drops off iPod for Deejay Gig
Originally posted 02/10/2012 01:00PM
Macaulay Culkin bailed on his monthly deejay gig Thursday night at Le Poisson Rouge in New York City's West Village. Instead, fans ready to dance to his live music picks got an earful of his iPod – and a chance to do some charity.
"He's here all the time. He comes pretty often. Tonight, something just came up and he couldn't make it," a club employee told PEOPLE. "But he did drop off his iPod – that's what's playing. It's a shame he's not here, because he always plays really good music."
Culkin, whose gaunt appearance in a paparazzi shot made headlines Thursday, was expected to take to the turntables around 10 p.m. Around that time, a sign (above) was taped to a box downstairs by the bar telling fans a canned good would get them in for free, and with no "Mack" in attendance that dancing would be to his pre-selected tunes.

Demi Moore Seeks Help from Deepak Chopra
Originally posted 02/09/2012 10:30AM
Demi Moore's whereabouts are still top secret, but the troubled actress is seeking help from none other than spiritual guru Deepak Chopra, a source tells PEOPLE.
Moore, 49, has not been spotted since her health crisis began in January, but another source confirms she's in a treatment facility.
It's not surprising that Moore would turn to Chopra, who has authored more than 64 books on spirituality and healing. The actress and Chopra go way back; in 1996, she visited him in India. She has also served on the board of advisers to his healing center, which is located in Carlsbad, Calif., 90 minutes south of Los Angeles.
Moore once told Britain's Mirror that Chopra's book The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success "is my bible."

Was it nerves? Exhaustion? A simple slip?
Whatever the case, 16-year-old American Idol contestant Symone Black took a scary-looking fall off the front of the stage on Wednesday's night show, Fox offered no update on her condition, instead using the accident as a cliffhanger for Thursday's program. (See the fall at the end of the clip below.)
"Medic, please!" stagehands cried out, as Black lay crumpled on the floor, having tumbled off the stage, which looked to be a good 5 feet high, after apparently passing out.

Ray and Anna Romano Give Back After Her Breast Cancer Fight
Originally posted 02/09/2012 08:25AM
When Ray Romano's wife of 24 years, Anna, was diagnosed with stage one breast cancer, the couple immediately began making calls to doctors near their Los Angeles-area home.
"We were blessed and didn't have to worry, 'Does insurance cover this?' " Ray recalls of the experience. "We want to give that [peace of mind] to other women."
So, last year, after her treatment ended and she began her five-year tamoxifen prescription, Anna began researching philanthropies that she and her husband could adopt as their own.
"There are so many charities, and you want to help every one of them," she says, "But this really just gave us a direction."

Ray Romano: My Wife Beat Breast Cancer
Originally posted 02/08/2012 01:00PM
Ray Romano's hit sitcom, Everybody Loves Raymond, was famously based on his experiences at home, but he and his wife of 24 years Anna, have remained mum on one very personal subject – until now.
The actor and his wife are opening up to PEOPLE for the first time about Anna's battle with stage one breast cancer.
"The reason we're going public is to share our experience, yeah, but to have an effect," says Ray, 54. "Our goal is to help people."
After a doctor discovered a lump in her right breast, Anna, 48, had a mammogram and a biopsy. In February 2010, she was devastated to hear that she had "invasive breast cancer."
