I can not get sick of her....I never listened to her yet..... |
People are hating on her and I don't think that's quite fair.
Would really like an album of covers as those are my favorite Adele songs. |
She's okay: as in, a friend of mine was raving about her when her second recording came out, so I bought both of them and then listened. My thought was, "okay..."
She's really pretty good, but I could only damn her with faint praise. Sometimes, I just ask myself if I'm perhaps not in the right frame of mind for a certain artist or type of music. I'll try again, but I don't think she'll ever make heavy rotation in my system. |
I think she has great voice. She seems to sing with an authentic sincerity. Compelling. Ditto on the Winehouse comments! |
I'm a big fan of her work.....it had me the first time I heard it. It was early June 2011.
Ditto with the Amy Winehouse. |
Sick of Adele? Well, as they say, everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I’ve been very blessed and had the good fortune to experience live performances by Carmen McRae, Nancy Wilson, Diane Reeves, Diana Krall, and Cassandra Wilson. So what? Each time I came away with feelings of having witnessed great talent – each in her own unique way. After Adele’s appearance as musical quest on SNL this past weekend, I decided to check out her video of “Hello” via cable on demand. Prior to that, I really hadn’t paid much attention to Adele; but found myself thinking, “wow, this woman is incredibly talented”. IMHO she has a true gift that cannot be dubbed, engineered, or otherwise enhanced like so much of what is passed off as music these days.
BTW, plus one regarding Amy Winehouse … thanks Mapman for pointing that out. My brother-in-law turned me on to her music and a bit about Amy’s tragic end. What a tremendous loss. |
Robin Quivers has a much better cover of Hello already. |
She sounds great in the car but her album "21" sounds terrible on my system. It would be great if her music was produced without all of the compression used to make it sound good for crappy mp3 listeners. |
Adele is up there with Dusty Springfield (who she cites as an influence) and Amy Winehouse as a female Brit pop music talent. Good company!
Anyone who has never given Amy Winehouse a fair shot should. That girl was off the charts!!! |
Back in the day she would not be a big deal. With the music industry putting out such trash nowadays she sounds better than most. |
As someone has already commented, 'just part of a machine that is the music business'. Enough said. |
No, she's not part of the dumbing down of music (we know who you mean). Very talented, just part of a machine that is the music business. |
|
American music awards on. Kicking butt! J lo, Selena Gomez, Demi lovato, you name it. 😅 |
There is much worse than her. She has talent. Just tune out as needed. Sky Fall was best Bond movie theme performance in a long time. |
Adele look alike contest

If you're tired of Adele and listen to radio, you're SOL because her new one seems to be everywhere. I think that she's a fine singer with a solid + voice, but the appeal of her new single eludes me. |
She is a terrific singer and also writes excellent songs. One of the few pop singers that I actually enjoy

Adele who? No really, must be some pop singer. Who cares. Is she part of the dumbing down of music? Move along. I"ll listen to my now dead artists. |
