Members YRBB Posted February 22, 2012 Members Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Wow, that was a very... blatant cut off. And she flipped them off! That's hilarious. Edited February 22, 2012 by YRBB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted February 22, 2012 Members Share Posted February 22, 2012 The Vogue pictures are stunning, but I don't like how much they photoshopped her waist 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr. Vixen Posted February 26, 2012 Members Share Posted February 26, 2012 You may be right, but the first picture is clearly photoshopped. Her one boob looks...off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted March 1, 2012 Members Share Posted March 1, 2012 Why do you think Adele's album is so popular? Do you think she's one of those British artists who is more popular here than in the UK? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 1, 2012 Members Share Posted March 1, 2012 In an era of overproduced generic pop music, she stands out due to her only selling point being her voice and ballads. I think people were craving something different from the average run of the mill pop star, and Adele just struck that cord and came along at the right time. 21 is also a massive success in the UK, and was the #1 selling album in both the US and UK last year (worldwide overall too). I do think her US fans are a bit more obsessive though, but she's equally as successful in the UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 1, 2012 Members Share Posted March 1, 2012 That's a good point. I guess it helps that Rolling in the Deep had such a beat and was almost anthemic (although her voice wasn't quite up to it). She also seems very down to earth. I wanted to start a thread on British singers who were more successful in America, but I'm not even sure how many there are... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted March 1, 2012 Members Share Posted March 1, 2012 I thought her first album was better, but I do love both her albums and find her to be a great song-writer. My problem with Adele (not really her fault though) is that if she were black, singing the exact same soul music, nobody would be listening to her. Especially in the UK. Blue-eyed soul is so "in" again, but when you have equally talented black women making the same music, it goes unnoticed. Especially if you look like an Estelle or Fantasia. Hell, even Corinne Bailey Rae struggled with her second album and it was flawless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 1, 2012 Members Share Posted March 1, 2012 Wasn't Fantasia in a much more modern R&B type direction? I remember some fans who were very upset about her first album for that reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members VirginiaHamilton Posted November 30, 2012 Members Share Posted November 30, 2012 I'm one of these fans that was upset that they've provided that great talent with such mediocre songs, as her covering the classics on various awards/tribute shows clearly show that she's a wonderfully-written-and-produced song away (i.e.: a major reason why Adele and the late Amy Winehouse are/were successful) from the success that she deserves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 30, 2012 Members Share Posted November 30, 2012 I never understood the direction her career took, as she won Idol based on more of an old soul vibe. Congrats to Adele. I think she has been smart to take this time off to avoid overexposure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 30, 2012 Members Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) The fact that she was able to score a diamond certified album this day and age is astounding. The last album released in the 00's to score that feat was Usher's 2004 Confessions album, which took 8 years to reach what Adele was able to do in less than 2 years. 21 also becomes the 21st album to cross the 10 million mark since the beginning of the soundscan era in 1991 (All albums prior to 1991 were not measured by soundscan). http://www.billboard...008031432.story Edited November 30, 2012 by Y&RWorldTurner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
