This Adele singer is really good.
2 years ago some of my family recommended me to listen to her but I didn't.
Well, I just finished watching some of her live shows and he is pretty good. Really good indeed. How famous do you think she can be? Where is the ceiling for her? Already has 35 million albums sold in her career. Just 2 albums. |

If she can repeat 21 sales on her next album then things will get real serious....

You make it sound like you only just heard about her! lol She's alright, 21 is nice but nowhere near as good as the sales suggest.

She reminds me a lot of Phil Collins in the '80s. I've said it before. Ordinary girl (in his case bloke), seems quite nice, recording a white version of soul music that appeals to the masses, the music gets massively overexposed in relation to its artistic greatness, appears on every chat show and awards show - then eventually people get browned off and nobody admits they ever liked you. |

I think she's talented but her music isn't my thing at all. It's really bland and depressing. If I hear Someone Like You once more I'm gonna scream

It might seem odd but she's completely passed me by. The only song of hers that I know is the Bond theme......and I know that because it's a Bond theme not because it's Adele
However........I did think it was terrific so I expect she is really good |

:yawn: Phil Collins was NEVER as popular as Adele. She has sold 86 million records (of which 35 million albums) at the age of 26. Anyway, Adele's best quality is her personality.

Not racist in the slightest Quote:
Nothing ordinary about Phil Collins. His music spanned a few genres. He was a very talented drummer and music arranger. He was a competent accompanist on piano and discovered by accident that he had a decent voice when he took over vocal duties in Genesis in 1975. Just taking the one song he wrote, In The Air Tonight has more power, atmosphere and soul than anything that Adele has so far produced. Phil got lazy and self-indulgent in the end, and sold out in a very obvious way, p1ssing off a lot of fans in the process. But despite that he earned his success over the years. Not the same in Adele's case.

Nah she's coming off selling 28 million albums of 21.
She's got a good start to her career with her first 2 albums. I'm expect a lot of sales on her next album. |

I'm a big soul music fan and there has always been a watered down white version of soul being offered to the masses. The industry term is 'blue eyed soul' but, while there has always been some pretty decent white soul/r&b artists, they are not the ones who crossover, it's usually the bland ones who end up selling. In fact, even some black artists get watered down for the masses. Most of Whitneys output was generic r&b lite pop |

Apart from the legendary Hip-Hop artists, there are very rarely any great lyricists in other genres. Not really concerned if her music is considered "bland". Since even great "soul" artists have crappy lyrics compared to Hip-Hop legends.

I'm not a massive fan of her style of music but I absolutely love her as a person. she's hysterical!
![]() I own 21, but aside from a couple of tracks (Rolling in the Deep, Rumour Has It) it's nothing special and i'm still not entirely sure how it managed to sell billions of copies (OK, slight exaggeration...) although her personality no doubt helped. Skyfall is fantastic though! |
