Yes, but that league is under 20,000 other leagues under the sea.

You obviously have impeccable musical tastes

Talent is one thing - what you do with it is another.

Sure, she can hold a tune whilst shaking her stuff. But do I find her music amazing and inspiring? No.

Listen to irreplaceable/upgrade u/bonnie and clyde/flaws and all/green light/listen/if i was a boy/halo just a few of my faves

There are songs that bring tears to my eyes like Adele's music, yes.

Haaaaaaaaa.. now that is the funniest joke iv ever heard. Im not saying beyonce is my number one favourite artist but she is deffo no doubt one of the most talented singers that has ever walked this planet

By the way - you know there's a music forum, right?

Tears of boredom! Jees I wish that girl would get a fella and cheer up

Yes Adele is extremely talented my fave performance of hers was when she sang someone like you at the brits

However i find sometimes her music can be depressing and her music videos are boring thats why shes not a favourite

So? Its not just about music it relates to the wider spiritual self

If yappy is getting upset because some of us here on GD don't much care for Bouncy and her music, he or she will be crying all night at some of the responses if this gets shifted to music.

And Im sick of heareing that song about burning a quiche, that bloody 'set fire to lorraine' song

Adele is a fine example of how shows like the X factor have reduced music to the equivalent of a sporting event - if someone's making a lot of noise, and sticking in a load of extra notes, then they must be 'good'. Personally, I think its making something that ought to be sublime rather mundane.

So it's OK for you to criticise someone else's music, but you get upset if someone criticises your beloved Beyonce?. Maybe that poster feels the same way about Adele as you do about Beyonce, and finds your criticism shocking too.

I just spat out my tea.......

Oh, what does it matter? They're all a pile of crap.

Here we go

Too true.

Most X factor contestants say stuff like 'music is means everything to me'.....really? why havent you learned how to play an instrument then?Or read music? or even learn the words to the song your effin singing?
Another classic is 'Ive been singing since I was 8'.....Ive been singing since I was 3, yeah I started with nursery rhymes then moved onto hymns in asembly then onto more complicated stuff like slipknot

Oh for gods sake why has this amazing empowering thread been moved to such a ridiculously dead area of the forum, for crying out loud

I wouldn't consider Beyoncé's music powerful to me. To others it might be, but to me it's just music. I actually like some of Beyoncé's music, "Halo" being an easy favourite, but she doesn't exactly inspire me.

The mods were empowered by it.

Because it's about music?

Adele, Beyonce....inspiring, thought provoking...hahahahahahahahahaha noooooooo.

Sorry to offend anyone but the only people those songs are "powerful and inspiring" to are dimwits. Who wants to live forever, The Fly, With Or Without you, Sweet Child of Mine, Bridge Over troubled Water, Sign on the Window, Bohemian Rhapsody, Open your eyes, Candle in the Wind. THOSE are just some "powerful" pieces of music. And in terms of classical music Mozart's Lacrimosa and Faure's Requiem have actually reduced me, a grown man to tears.

I said adele was extremely talented. i mean if someone said beyonce was talented but her music was depressing i wouldnt be offended cos they still said she was talented, but beyonces music doesnt make people feel crap about themselves shes EMPOWERING
