Adele - songs, discussion

Number one in the UK album charts for 10 weeks running.
Must confess that Someone Like You is one of the few radio songs I am enjoying on the crap office channels.
 
Mrs R was playing this in the car on the way home at the weekend. At first I thought the queasiness and stomach cramps were caused by the multiple Sambuccas I'd consumed the night before, but then she turned it off and they went away.
 
I think she's great, one of the few chart-toppers i can enjoy listening to.


Don't get all these Winehouse/Duffy comparisons. You would think liking them and Adele are mutually exclusive.
 
yeah i see no similarities between adele and those two.

I love adele's voice and have enjoyed a couple of her songs. Shee is all right and better then most of the shite in the charts.

She has got a great voice and that song did move me a bit but I just have a problem with the poppier stuff as it always smacks of being rather fake. :hmm:
 
I don't really have an opinion either way on Adele, but apparently she has covered a Steeldrivers song which is an interesting choice.
 
If you want soulful pop then get the new Lykke Li album, Wounded Rhymes. A million times better that Adele's album imho.
 
Whilst feeling pretty ambivalent about Adele, I do wish Radio 4 would stop banging on about her, it seems every time I switch on there is some sort of profile about her. Maybe it's something to do with R4 trying to appear more down wiv the young people or summat.
 
She's still very much 'meh'. Proven by the fact that she can't even be bothered to come up with a proper album title, instead just naming after her age. Which is very 'meh'.
 
I'd really like to like her but just can't manage it, perhaps it's the the talent school thing that puts me off - although that didn't stop me from liking a couple of Winehouse tracks.
 
Feels a bit weird criticising someone who was 18-19 when this thread started and is maybe 22 now.

Jesus, what were you doing at 22, did you do much maturing after?

Such is my knowledge of contemporary pop music I've just found out I didn't dislike Adele, but Eva Cassidy. I shall endeavor to hear and dislike Adele next.

Record label executive Tom Logan revealed the singer was invented during a product development brainstorming session entitled, 'The Sort of Shit Women Go On About'.

He said: "We quickly built up a list of stuff, including 'heartbreak', 'feelings' and 'yeast infections. Some idiot said 'pavements' as a joke which actually pissed me off 'cause I was trying to be serious, but I wrote it down anyway.

I find her mostly awful. That current song of hers - you know, the slowwwwwwwwwwwwww one that's on the radio 50 times a day no matter what station you're tuned to - sounds like a stalker/bunny boiler/mentalist anthem.
 
I quite like that one. How is it bunny boilerish to wish someone nothing but the best?
 
I found out today that she writes her songs with other songwriters and Someone Like You was actually written by the singer from Semisonic. Which is the height of meh.
