“Now, of course, it's not directly Adele's fault that, for instance, by the time this year's X Factor boot camp rolled around, every white male contestant appeared to be attempting the self-consciously excitement-free vocal style of Tom Waits in a Strepsil famine. Nonetheless, just as Blur, Oasis and Pulp did not pen songs for Menswear but must shoulder at least some of the responsibility, there is culpability here. Let's not forget that Someone Like You's co-writer Dan Wilson had previously penned hits for bore-off allstars Semisonic, Josh Groban and Dixie Chicks, so the tune's general non-danceability must have been intentional on Adele's part and she must, sadly, accept and wear the Queen Of Boring crown. It is a crown made of SOLID BEIGE.”
