What is your opinion about her overall, as an artist and as a person etc.?


Well, my opinion is that Adele is certainly talented and her voice is very unique. Her voice is definitely not sweet, but I love that cigarette-burned sound. I definitely can understand how some people can't stand her voice.

This version of Rolling in the Deep is a must hear for everyone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fmCoUjOMXU

And who knew she could dance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-lbzlmaQz0

She is also hilarious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxAzvLY66qE

I find her songs dull and overplayed.

But her existence makes no impact on my life and if I was forced to admit it I'd say she was talented.

My honest opinion about her is that she's never valued properly by anybody. Some underestimate her way too much and some big her up and praise her more than she deserves. But regardless, I think she's brilliant for mainstream's embarassingly low standards and that her songs becoming radio hits is refreshing and gives me hope that in the future artists with deeper and less predictable messages than hers will also be heard.

I don't care about her as a person and her music is inoffensive - it stirs no emotion in me either negative or positive.

A breath of fresh air in the industry. And she's shown that less is more when it comes to promotion - get the product (music) right and you don't have to whore yourself out to sell it in big numbers.

Talented, perhaps overhyped and absolutely hilarious.

I like her, she is very British if there is such a thing, unique voice, her songs are overhyped, they aren't anything creative or original sounding but who says they have to be right?

Very overplayed, she is overhyped. If she sang a One Direction song it would be the greatest song in the world to critics.

Nothing against her as a person, she seems alright.

She needs to lose weight!? Does anyone need to do anything if they're happy not to?

Sure, Adele is in the public eye and we're (sadly) in a media frenzy where looks are everything, but to my knowledge this has never bothered Adele. Her weight isn't affecting her music sales

I like her looks and her voice and her sense of humour. Her sales are spectacular but the songs are not spectacularly original just very listenable.

She's great but couldn't touch Amy Winehouse live was when she was on point (i.e. not so drunk/drugged she was falling over on stage)

In all fairness Adele (much as I dislike her) was a better songwriter than Amy

Well, as much as I disagree with the original comment yes, people still do have to loose weight if they need to. Perhaps not Adele but if she was like a massive harpooned whale then yeah.

I like her i think she is very talented but people do have a tendency to over value her or slate her for no real apparent reason. Do i enjoy 21 it's okay not the most exciting album ever but nice inoffensive heartfelt tunes that come from thew heart.

She seems like a nice person but her music is really boring and dull middle-of-the-road fare. All her songs sound really sad. They're also overplayed. If I hear Someone Like You once more I'll go mad I'm also puzzled as to why she wins so many awards. There's no denying she's talented though, even though the music isn't my thing.

Only like that Hometown Glory by her. 21 is a just a miserable unoriginal mess. Plus she had help with the writing.

But she wrote her first album by herself. Just proves there's nothing wrong with co-writing, it's just to polish the finished product. I do think 21 is very overrated but there are some really good songs on there, mostly the ones she released as singles.

Pretty Girl
Overweight
Average Singer, no range
Fair pop writer, but nothing great
Overplayed on all stations

In summary


Over hyped to the Max

Only thing I can say in her favour is she at least knows the limits of her voice, so does not attempt that horrid melisima so beloved of X Factor "singers".

However, she needs to work on diction & get away from those three chord piano plodders..
(That's Emili Sandii's market) (Don't get me started on Mrs Whippy)

I can't deny that she is very talented, I think she deserves most of the awards and acclaim she receives, but I personally find most of her music dull.

I quite like her, her voice is very good.

She seems like a lovely, down to earth lady as well
