You said

Hey Meat,

You said the "Rolling In The Deep" was the best song of the last decade and that Adele sang the hell out of it, sorry mate but I gotta disagree, you gotta listen to "Set Fire To The Rain", now she does sing the hell outta that!!!!

Evil Ernie · 22 Apr 2012, 07:25

Who?

melon · 22 Apr 2012, 09:12

I think Adele is fantastic, I like Someone Like You

RSG · 22 Apr 2012, 10:50

I never heard of Adele, I've heard Patti say the name though.

PanicLord · 22 Apr 2012, 11:40

Have to say, I agree with Meat on this one, love Rolling In The Deep, awesome song. Set Fire To The Rain is very good too.

PanicLord · 22 Apr 2012, 11:41

Ps rumour is she will sing the next Bond song :)

DJLeen · 22 Apr 2012, 12:22

All songs of Adele are great !!

For the whole of last year, every six seconds someone bought a copy of her album, she's outsold everything released since god knows when. You two need to get out more.

She's so famous she needs no freaking surname

So much time was spent talking about her worldwide that it was discovered that the average conversation would move 28% faster if you ommitted the time it took to keep saying her surname throughout the convo.

As more and more people were talking about her every day, it was only a matter of time before this 28% stated to be an issue of some alarm (every conversation would just consist of her surname repeated over and over again in a bid to catch up. All other subjects (the other 72%) would be dismissed as side tracking or off topic as there was no time left for it).

The solution was that everybody with the first name Adele would have to change it to something else, meaning her full name would be faster to say.

Adele May became Teresa May who is now something in some ministry in London.

Adele II wanted to keep her name and be a trib act, but the legal chaps said no, so she's now known as Elizabeth II.

Lady Adele Sugar changed her name, dragged up with a fake beard, and now (if I understand correctly) makes it a point to fire everyone who works for her once a year.

Katie Price became Jordan, but that's nothing to do with Adele, that's just a cynical marketing ploy to turn herself into a product

It's not a long term solution, but it has helped the world cope in the interim.
Babies are no longer allowed to be named Adele (not even as a middle name) and the future may require that the initial A be reserved exclusivly for Adele.

This will require a new dictionary to be printed.

The first word in the new dictionary will be Adele, the second will be Bbrdvark.

For me, it's one of those names I can't get away from, but off the top of my head I couldn't name a single song or album she's put out (even though i've just read some in this thread before I started tryping the above waffle

).

What i've heard i've liked. I must get round to listening to more of her stuff, but i've said that plenty of times lol.
I have no idea what her surname is

dukesofhazard · 22 Apr 2012, 14:41

I can't stand Adele's music, but my girlfriend does know her brother

Cherry.Loaf · 22 Apr 2012, 17:50

I hate something like you it sounds like a bitter drunk ex girlfriend making up a song walking home from the pub completely wasted; Rolling in the deep is a really good song and set fire to the rain is phenomenal

I don't listen to the radio or watch music channels. I get everything from word of mouth, and that usually doesn't include pop music.

Mr. Happy · 23 Apr 2012, 09:44

Adele is a very good artist, but her stuff has been overplayed to death. If I ever have to hear Someone Like You again, it will be too soon x.x

robgomm · 23 Apr 2012, 09:51

I never get tired of her stuff. I know what you're saying Monstro, set fire to the rain is amazing, not sure if it's better than rolling in the deep though, i'd say it's as good at least.

just a shot in the dark, but her next album may be titled 23.

considering she's said she's taking 5 years out (and the fact that she is now almost 24

) it's impossible

chairboys · 23 Apr 2012, 13:11

I did say it was a shot in the dark!!

A shot in the dark, by a blindfolded guy... with cataracts... and no bullets?

do the cataracts help with the blindfold on?

I think Adele is wonderful. She has a brilliant and pure voice and has had very good fortune with the songs on her albums. I find the irony of people on this forum talking about songs being "overplayed" when the artiste du jour of this very forum can barely seem to get one play of his songs. Any artist who gets on the Clear Channel list, at least in America - they are either doing something right or have the right people behind them.

melon · 23 Apr 2012, 18:37

She also seems to have her head on the right way

I Could not agree more.

duke knooby · 24 Apr 2012, 00:33

i had a listen to both adele songs mentioned above, but they're really not to my tastes

best song of the last decade??? not even the best song i've heard today

(just my opinion of course)

best selling song of the last decade... now that, it could well be lol :)

AndrewG · 24 Apr 2012, 12:35

Adele is pretty damn awesome. She has a fab voice and has that special innate connection with the audience Meat has as well in my opinion. And she writes her own great songs, what's not to love?
Saw the Albert Hall show on tv a few weeks ago, quite special.
