What's so good about Adele?

[TessX]

Hi I'm new :xyxwave:, I thought I'll just go in there and start a hate campaign on Adele (just kidding). I'm just fed up of hearing fastest selling this and breaking records (more like dishes) and I don't get it. Her voice is OK but its nothing spectacular and tbh I prefer 19. What do you guys think?

(btw this most certainly isn't a HATEADELE thread, I'm just curious whether others feel the same)

[Ramsay]

I honestly have not heard anything about or from her in ageeees
She's alright i guess not really my scene though

[Smithy]

Nothing, her album was targeted at mums and the gift buyers, her performance at the brits just set off a freak anomaly of album sales

[Livia]

She has a great voice, she writes her own stuff and she seems kind of grounded and normal.

[TessX]

I guess I am a few years too late lol, oh well just wanted to get it out there.

[Livia]

Welcome, by the way Tess.

[Brother Leon]

She can actually sing and is an alright song writer which is refreshing for the pop chart scene.

:worship:

She's an overrated bland singer.

You may stay on this forum. Welcome by the way :hugesmile:

[Livia]

Oh well that's it. Ben doesn't like her. She must be sh1t......

[Benjamin]

Oh well that's it. Ben doesn't like her. She must be sh1t......

Glad you have come to realise this.

-hands livia a gin and tonic-

[reece(:]

Welcome to the forum

and yes, Adele is a boring singer

[Livia]

Ooo I could just go a G&T.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I thought she had retired ages ago?

[Loukas]

Welcome to the forum Tess :)

What i don't understand about Adele is how did she stay number 1 for so long?! The album 21 has been certified 16 times platinum in the UK alone :omg:

[AnnieK]

She's ok and not a fame hungry wannabe

Welcome Tess

[Benjamin]

Ooo I could just go a G&T.

Get that peachy ass to mine, now. ;)

[Jake.]

She's got a brilliant voice, knows how to write a song and can sell. Welcome btw

[TessX]

Welcome, by the way Tess.
Thanks everyone, I am honoured to be part of this microcosm :worship: :worship:lol

[Livia]

Get that peachy ass to mine, now. ;)

Hey, if it wasn't such a long drive I'd be there! I'll have to muddle through with a vodka and coke on my own. Saddo.

[Pete.]

queen adele defies the charts and ends careers with her incredible voice

[reece(:]

21 is a hit funeral service album, of course it sold well

[Marsh.]

She's not pretentious. She writes her own stuff. She's normal and has a great voice.

Personally, I've not heard a song of hers or anything about her for a long time so it sounds like you're searching news about her? And are upset she broke records that your fave didn't? :shrug:

[Samm]

She had one or two good songs wouldn't buy any of her albums tbh

Welcome Tess

[TessX]

Maybe I am being a little unfair but I just think there are more worthy singers/bands that don't get the recognition they deserve. The only adele songs i like are Hometown glory and I'll be waiting.

Do you mean like Miley or Cher L?

[reece(:]

Chasing Pavements is the only good Adele song

At least you have vodka to ease you through that pain. X

There's lots of great singers/musicians/bands that don't get recognition they deserve.

BUT :laugh: I don't think pulling another talented singer-songwriter like Adele down solves it. :shrug:

If you were annoyed by the talentless members of the industry getting all the attention and recognition *cough*KatyPerry*cough* then it would make more sense.

But then who's more talented than who and what music you enjoy is all subjective, so it doesn't work so simply.

[Benjamin]

Again agree. Given Adele writes some good stuff but she is so bland and there are a lot of better singer/ songwriters out there who get overlooked. Way of the world though.

[Marsh.]

Chasing Pavements is the only good Adele song

People in the office I used to work would sing "chasing payment".

[TessX]

I don't even like Miley lol, I just wanted to put an annoying pic up.

Hello Tess ,you gonna start off hating me,lol,I love Adele,no airs and graces,no sexy gimmicks just great music sung with a beautiful voice and all her own work,a true talent imo:hugesmile:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Round these parts she is called vinegar tits

Another fat joke. :idc:

The only two songs that don't feel like funeral Music from Adele are Rolling In The Deep and Skyfall imo.

[TessX]

Another fat joke. :idc:

Sorry, I don't know why I'm being so mean.

[Roy Mars III]

she has talent, which is more than you can say for 98% of mainstream artists these days

[Marsh.]

Skyfall

We blasted this when we threw my Grandad's ashes off a cliff.

Ouch, Are you able to still listen to Skyfall now or is it really difficult? If you don't mind me asking of course.

[GiRTh]

Welcome to the forum :dance2:

Adele has written two of the best albums of the past few years, she's got a great voice, is a superb songwriter and seems like a nice girl. She's adorable.

[Shaun]

She's an excellent singer, a good songwriter and seems like a warm, funny person. I don't see what's not to like. If you were that put off by her being #1 all the time maybe try other mediums than chart music.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Her and James Corden have a baby together called Colin

:shocked: I was only joking.

[Ammi]

..I think she's very talented and has a great voice, her songs/music is just not what I personally listen to though..which artists do you like, Tess..?...


..welcome to the forum btw...

[Firewire]

The only reason her album was at number 1 for so long is because her fanbase don't know how to illegally download

[Ammi]

..I AM TRYING, JONATHAN..:fist:...

Damn it, I'm normally quite good with sarcasm as well.:hugesmile:

[Redway]

She's head and heels over the vast majority of today's 'artists' for sure.

[Firewire]

Yeah, this. I didn't buy the 21 album but I liked Someone Like You and even though her music isn't something I'd really want to listen to, I think she's very talented and plays to her strengths. She doesn't have the strongest voice I've ever heard, she just knows how to make the most of what she has. She's a good songwriter and most importantly she's clearly made a point of not doing lots of interviews and making herself be everywhere, she lets her music do the talking. She rarely appears on TV to give interviews compared to her peers, she's taking the Beyonce approach to fame nowadays.

[Crimson Dynamo]

her on the brits was one of the best performances

[Mystic Mock]

I think that Someone Like You is a classic funeral song.

[Z]

I think Someone Like You is the perfect wistful break up song

[Jake.]

Someone Like You is simply a fantastic song, her live performance was stunning

[Ammi]

I think Someone Like You is the perfect wistful break up song

..I think that's the thing though, break up songs and love songs in general aren't my sort of thing, which is probably why I don't listen to her very much...

[james130]

Plus she's so likeable/hysterical.

[Kate!]

Welcome to Tibb Tess :)

I like Adele, she's got a gorgeous voice, don't think she's very charismatic as a performer though.

[Benjamin]

FlLR1FvALvY

She is one of the most uncharismatic artists ever. I always find her awkward.

[Withano]

Bet ya its the bitter girl from the voice who was related to Adele

[Kazanne]

Someone Like You is simply a fantastic song, her live performance was stunning

Yes,that was a head turner for me,it was brilliant

[Z]

:suspect: I'm assuming you mean as a performer and not her personality because I just watched that video and fail to see how anyone could call her uncharismatic

[Shaun]

I genuinely think you're blinded by hate here Ben. She's clearly a funny and lovely person.

Being able to rake in £30 million from royalties last year, whilst sat eating Pizza and watching Ghost all day.

Preach it sister.

Hats off to her; and she seems to mostly just lead a normal life as well, I think she's the ideal musician - makes music, is good at it, doesn't really entertain the showbiz rags.

[smeagol]

she done some very good songs. her brits performance of that sad song was the key, then sh got the fat vote. since then she vanished
she's good . peaked too soon though , worst thing you can do is sell big early

[Marsh.]

Who's watching the baby? :umm2:

[InOne]

She's a bit too sappy for me but do like that song Home Town or whatever it's called off the first one
