Adele

[River Don]

Just watching her show.

She probably is the authentic voice of working class Britain right now. What she does, she does very well.

I'm a fan of Amy Winehouse, more clued up with a greater grasp of music culture.

But Adele, she's pretty good.

[ravenrover]

Yes she's so good that I had the unfortunate experience of hearing her 1st 2 or 3 songs at Glastonbury before being able to fall asleep in my tent

[colfromdonny]

I actually do think that she is great but is starting to get a bit up herself, she should stick with what got her to where she is now.

[ColinDouglasHandshake]

Awful, predictable, manufactured dirge. But if you like her then that's all that matters.

[mugnapper]

Music by numbers. Teenage angst for grown ups. Music to chop vegetables to on a Sunday lunchtime.
No, just no.

[normal rules]

She is a miserable potty mouthed bag.

Like she is the only person who has gone through a break up.

[sha66y]

Ex fatty….. can only sing “ radio music” ….. id line each and every Adele contribution against Swansway’s Soul Train ……. We made the classics…. not the under 30s

[roversdude]

I bought Mrs RD tickets to see her at Wembley. She cancelled on the day with promises of rebooking/priority if/when she puts on a concert again - never heard anything since

[rtid88]

I find all her music sounds exactly the same. I think she has a very unique voice but she is so monotonous.

Give me grassroots music in a small venue any day of the week

[normal rules]

Adele can only dream of being as good as Alison Moyet.

[Glyn_Wigley]

I thought Adele was a crap computer.

‘Manufactured dirge’!

Name me one current female singer/songwriter that’s on a par.

Oh, oh, wait a minute you can’t without dredging up female artists from 20 years ago.

Welcome to the 21st century cowboy.

That doesn’t win the argument…..
Just reinforces the fact that if Adele is the best of the current crop then they are all worse than manufactured dirge…

I’m sure your comments weren’t intended to insult ‘larger ladies’ with your clumsy ‘Ex fatty’ remark….then again, it’s sometimes difficult to see the light with your head stuck up your own arse.

That one’s for all you ‘fat bottomed girls’ out there. Where would we be without you x

Still not answered the question ‘Destri’.

Give us your pick of the crop.

Wasn’t clumsy, and was aimed at her alone…

[Colin C No.3]

What do you mean by predictable & awful?

Predictable like:-

Shirley Bassey,
Cilla Black,
Dionne Warwick,
Diana Ross,
Barbara Streisand,
Carol Carpenter,
Carol King,
Whitney Houston, need I go on?

The only one from that ‘small off the top of my head group at this tome of night’ that comes close to, imo, Adele is Carole Carpenter who, like Adele, wrote & sang the majority of their songs.

This woman is a credit to the British music industry for gawd’s sake.

But hey, what do I know. I’ll leave all the accolades to those in the music award business that have showered this artiste with so many awards I can’t begin to recall, plus, & always more pertinent, the praise & recognition she has had heaped upon her from her peers within her own industry.

Still, what do those ‘plonkers’ know up against the ‘musical giants’ on this forum eh?

[BillyStubbsTears]

Whoa. Hang on.

Swans Way?

Soul Train?

And there was me thinking me and thee were in different universes.

Actually, I've just watched it on YouTube. I thought it were alreight when I were 20, but with hindsight it's cack.

A bit like Dave Cusack's side.

To me they're all on a par...in one ear and out of the other without making a mark, instantly forgettable - and that's if you notice them in the first place. Identikit songs that all sound the same, sung the same way, and nothing to make any of them stand out at all.

Ah right.

So if you make a slur at an individual you reckon that doesn’t put you in the same category as those who also just pick on an individual on social media? And there are plenty of cases of people taking their own lives as a result.

‘Fatty, skinny, spotty, goofy, lanky’ they’re all nasty slurs intent on being hurtful to the individual they’re used against whether directly or indirectly.

And putting ‘Ex’ in front of a slur doesn’t make it any less a slur.

I thought I’d offer you the benefit of doubt by calling your post clumsy but given the fact that you sought to justify your tasteless comment by stating ‘….was aimed at her alone.’ clearly shows what a bigot you are.

And here’s a tip for you, when you hit rock, stop digging.

[belton rover]

I can’t bear to listen to her. The way she completely changes the pronunciation of words to make them ‘fit’ is cringeworthy.

I will never understand her popularity.

[Bentley Bullet]

She's OK. A bit of a one-trick pony who has been selected by the media to be adored by the public, but she's OK.

I don’t hit rock, !
but I guess I am a bigot, I’m also a few “ ists”  too……there are lots of things I dislike and feel no need to curtail my ways because it may offend …..

When I see 22 women on a football pitch and 10 sat in the dugouts I’m wondering who’s putting t’ kettle on at hom……..

Listening to YouTube through a media device is probably not as good as the self same song played on a turntable through a decent amp , phono preamp and speakers….

Good to know you once had taste tho!

Colin, it's Karen Carpenter, and you're right, she did write her own music, along with her brother, and her voice was fantastic.

The other female singer I really rated from my era was Mama Cass Elliot.

Now I doubt that you'll be aware of how they both died at an early age, but I've always thought that if Karen Carpenter had eaten Mama Cass's ham sandwich, they'd both still be alive.

Cass Elliot died in the same Flat that Keith Moon died in a few years ealier, both aged 32

You are certainly not a musical giant, …when you know nothing about music….stop trying to create something that doesn’t exist………. Knowledge!

Erm...Keith Moon died years after Mama Cass.

Another female singer from that era, who admittedly I didn't think much of - until I saw this. Incredible performance. The only singer I've ever seen match his vocals for power and energy.
