Following her big Academy Award win for best original song, “Skyfall,” Adele talked to Billboard about how she might go about getting Emmy and Tony awards to go with her Grammys and Oscar.

“Maybe I’ll do an HBO special like Beyoncé did,” she told Billboard.  “And a Tony, I’m not so sure.  Maybe someday I’ll do a musical.”

Beyoncé’s documentary Life is But a Dream aired earlier this month on HBO, giving fans a closer look into her private lifestyle.

The film scored record ratings for the cable network.

Adele is a very private celebrity.  A documentary about her personal life has the potential to do very well.
