Ha ha .... she having her 15 mins tonight at the Royal Albert Hall
Personally I'd rather rub hot Marmite in my eyes than be at the RAH tonight. I refer you to my previous statement.

Can't see where anyone has said that Ken.
Both Martin and Duncan have implicated a lack of talent (or not having the talent to make it to the level she's at). My comments were directed to those posts...
This is getting silly, I did not say that she was not talented or that she lacked talent, I simply said in my personal opinion I felt that there were others that were more talented. If I say she's not as talented as Joe does that mean that I say she's got a lack of talent? If I say that she's more talented that Joe, does that mean that I'm implying he has a lack of talent? In both cases - of course not! Please try to read the words rather than imagine the implications.
Who's Adele?
- so the theory about here already having enough exposure to warrant not being mentioned on this forum is flawed... 
..and on the talent debate, - how the hell do you quantify talent....? It is all way too subjective, - the facts are that Adele has a talent, she has ability, - she is good at what she does and she has some pretty powerful recording label clout behind her.... Burn the witch!!! 
Calm down all is well ! 
The intelligentsia on here would love to see this Topic taken off.
Try not to be sucked in by them!
I was going to mention Adele on Jane's thread about songs that women sing to men, but thought better of it...

Yes, your argument has been very silly from the start. Do you think the Rolling Stones, or The Beatles, or Elvis were the most talented musicians on the planet when they made it big? Were there always, since the beginning of time more talented people who have made it big in every aspect of life (business, politics, music)??? My point is that she is very a talented musician (singer, songwriter) based on what I've heard, and it's silly to be so incensed that some people make it, and some people don't. Especially, when the person making it, has at least some degree of talent (as opposed to lots of real crap that makes it with no talent at all!).
...just got her two albums.... but too depressed already to listen! 
Last night... Make You Feel My Love - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7dMAp2NtCo
Superb! loved the glitter ball
Someone Like You - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5Q5YqbHCF8
Standing ovation !
Would you know it, just been given VIP passes and a meet and greet for Adele in wolves civic, for some rescheduled dates!

What's silly about mentioning that there are more talented artists out there? If I thought otherwise I'd just become one of the other 90% of the population that just listen to what they hear is on the radio, tv and magazines, and automatically assume that success and talent are one and the same.
I think the only thing silly was to get into a discussion about someone that neither of us feel particularly passionate about. I'll not waste anymore time doing so.

Adele at the Royal Albert Hall
Category: Music Venues
Area: Knightsbridge
23/9/2011 First to Review
All Hail Adele!
Tonight I finally saw her in concert with Aisha. Adele was in her own potty mouthed way 'freaking amazing'!
Appearing first as a backlit silhouette singing Hometown Glory, her actual appearance onstage practically blew the roof off the Royal Albert Hall, with mass applause from a very appreciative audience.
I have to admit I just about made it through Turning Tables (arguably my favourite track off '21'), without turning into a tear puddle, due to some hilarious pre-song banter from Adele regarding her ex partner who she wrote the song about.
Between song banter is a talent sadly lacking in some of the world's biggest music stars, which means when you come across gold star quality banter, which is exactly what Adele has in spades,you can't help but lap it up.
She is side splittingly funny, without being crude, nasty or harsh. Refreshingly honest about her mistakes in life and in particular with men.
We loved it. Nodding in agreement at those 'crappy' empathetic romantic moments that we've all experienced and laughing with her, about her mock diva outbursts. For someone who's known for singing sad songs, this lady is anything but that.
She sang all her hits - Chasing Pavements,Don't You Remember, Rumour Has It to name a few,and a few covers - Bonnie Raitt's I Can't Make You Love Me and the Cure's Lovesong, all of which were interwoven with her infectious personality and funny stories.
Her tone was beautiful, rich,warm and effortless. Her pitch was unbelievable, especially as she explained that she was recently recovered from a respiratory problem. She gave it her all, even restarting one song, because she felt she hadn't nailed the beginning of it correctly.
Poignantly she paid tribute to Amy Winehouse by dedicating Make You Feel My Love, to her. Her beautiful rendition was heightened by the lights being dimmed, everyone switching their phone lights on at her request, while a blanket of lit stars spiralled around the hall, bouncing off a huge mirrored ball in the centre of it.
She saved Someone Like You, until the end and was just as electrifying as her now famous Brit Awards performance. We sang the chorus back to her twice and just like she did at the Brits, the love in the hall for her, moved both her and quite a lot of us to tears.
Fortunately, she came back out for an encore of Rolling In the Deep, which had everyone on their feet dancing and clapping. Adele left the stage, exactly as she arrived, to the sound of an audience, besotted by her voice, now in love with her humour and humility.
If you get the chance to go and see her, take my advice and do it !
Brack, have you heard USAF Staff Sergeant and band do "Rolling in the Deep"? Check it out.
Lovely review Brack. Glad you finally got to see Adele and sound like it won't be your last time.
