Those are the type of shows she puts on though. It's such a weak argument. I understand personal preference with regards to what you spend your own ticket money on but you cannot dismiss acts who put on big stage shows because 'they don't need them' or 'it gets tedious' as if they were somehow lesser than the latest act you have latched onto to do the L above the head sign to the GaGa posse with.

That's the business artists like GaGa are into and there is a demand for it. Bowie didn't need to slap on platform boots to improve his music but that's exactly what he did because that's the type of show he wanted to put on.

Funny that you are speaking for the fans who just want to sing along. Do you honestly think if you were to quiz most people going in the doors to arenas that they would agree with you? The vast majority came to see a bloody good show. Sure plenty would be happy with GaGa unplugged in a nice black dress or something like that but I'm betting the audience I'm arguing on behalf of it bigger.

So all that stuff is necessary to the type of show she wants to put on, yeah. And I would rather see that type of show than hear Adele singing live with a nice white curtain behind her.

Her global dominance is getting stronger and stronger. Posting this image just before Gaga takes over the charts....for a short period.

Adele probably doesn't give a ****** about twitter. Not everybody does y'know. Not all artists milk the internet for shameless publicity like Bieber and Gaga.

Adele has obviously been using twitter for the past 4 years to stalk her ex.

OMG I knew that album looked familiar!

Can't wait to show this to my friend tomorrow, he bought 21 and said he wasn't buying BTW. And he said he prefered Adele. His excuse was "it's for my sister".
