I love me some Adele. I don't know if I could listen to her voice over and over and over again an on album, though, which sounds horrible, I know, but it is what it is. I love her voice, but it's hard to explain.

"Rolling in the Deep" is my sh!t, though. I love the 60s-style background singers :wub: "Yuh gunna wish yew! Nevuh evuh met me!"

I love, love, love her first album but haven't explored the second much yet. What I have heard is great, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Glad she's maintained her success and carved out a style that doesn't seem gimmicky, but organic. I like her a lot.

I think she's great, and it's a solid album. I'm not sure I think it's much better than 19, and I know it's stupid, but I find it kinda annoying how big she's now become in the US when that album seemed to be ignored there. And I find the album kinda samey--by the end I start to get tired of it, and I'd love to hear her do some different stuff (no, I don't mean by that Kylie pop :P )

19 produced chasing pavements, and you could not escape that song for a solid year. She did a lot more press in the us for 21, and i think that has added to why it has done so well. Plus, its her second album, it isnt like shes had 9 albums and is all of the audden blowing up in the us.

It took me awhile, but I finally purchased 21! (I already listened to such songs as "Turning Tables", "Rolling in the Deep", and "Set Fire to Rain", exercising an unbelievable amount of discipline from looking up more of the album online.)

I love the track "He Won't Go", a track not mentioned in this thread. Overall the album is great, not able to match 19, but a wonderful follow up album. Adele's cover of "Love Song" is dreamy, to put it simply. "Rumour Has It" has a catchy beat to it, and goes back to Adele's bluesy/R&B roots.

Adele's Rolling In The Deep has topped the Billboard Hot 100! It also topped the Billboard Digital Sales chart. 21 is also #1 on the Billboard 200 Album chart for a 7th non-consecutive week. 2011 is becoming the year of Adele. It will be interesting to see when Gaga's "Born This Way" drops in a week or two to see if that spurns any of her momentum. I think its shaping up to be an interesting battle between the two for the rest of the year.

    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him. 
    • I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.
    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
