Adele (Page 4 of 14)

no doubt there is a lot of wasted tallent out there... but compaired to the rest of the stuff in the top 10 Adele is probally the most genuine.. though no where near the likes of some bands that never get signed 

funny how these Adele haters keep posting on this topic,,,thus continue to bump it to the top.........lol.

Don't hold your breath Pete!

Wow!  How did I miss this spirited debate.  If you forgive the personal shots (I do), then what Duncan and Martin are saying are accurate assessments of an unfair (music) industry.  I happen to like Adele's music and prefer her 19 album over the over-marketed 21 effort.  Naturally this is just one man's opinion, but I don't have a problem with her having a thread here as opposed to a real head-scratcher like Taylor Swift.  That's the only disagreement I have with Duncan.  I like the debate a global sensation brings here vs I went to a gig and twenty people showed up to see ________.  Good stuff!  Guess I'll go back to bed.....

AHhh Brack's the web ticker of the forum if nothing else, he ain't doin' nuthin' but havin' fun like we all like to do~!
It's like he's in a race.  He ain't doin' know harm!

Rock ON & Keep the Faith,
Rocket

Just to let you all know, I never will respond to anything both greenose & amsterhammer have to say about me or my posts - if it becomes personal, i contact the Mods - thats their job. Thats my style.

Anyway...... back to the topic of Adele!

Interview: Adele, singer

Published Date: 22 September 2011

MEMO to staff at the Usher Hall: Adele would probably quite like a sick bucket to be included in her backstage rider ahead of Saturday's gig.

"I puke quite a lot before going on stage," says the 23-year-old. "Though never actually on stage."

The pre-gig puke, she says, is down to stage fright. But it guarantees a great performance from the Brit and Grammy-winning superstar.

"The bigger the freak-out, the more I enjoy the show," she confirms, laughing.

No airs and graces for Adele, she tells it like it is. And seemingly no subject is out of bounds for the young Londoner - not even the failed relationship that inspired the songs on her record- breaking second album, 21.

The story goes that after the release of Adele's 2008 debut, 19, things started to go wrong for her and her then partner.

The pair split up in April that year, but it wasn't until December that she felt ready to pour her heart out and reveal everything on record.

"I just had to wait and be ready to be honest with myself, and to properly articulate what I wanted to say. Otherwise it would have been 19, Volume 2," says the singer. "I needed that light bulb to come on."

From there, it was a fairly quick writing process, which involved super-producer Paul Epworth - "I wouldn't be able to cope if I had as many ideas in my head as him, I'd explode," says Adele - former Semisonic frontman Dan Wilson and OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder, a respected tunesmith who has written hits for female superstars like Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson and Whitney Houston.

"I first met Ryan in a lift in the States with about 100 balloons," she explains. "He said he knew it was me because he recognised my laugh - Scott Mills had made a clip of it on his Radio 1 show, which he'd heard while in the UK.

"Anyway, he came in the lift, popped loads of the balloons and said we had to work together."

That 21 was a success is an understatement. By far and away 2011's top seller worldwide, the album has taken little more than seven months since release to break the ten million mark and looks likely to reach 13 million sales by the end of the year.

Earlier this week, it was announced that the chart-topping album is to be recognised for a hat-trick of achievements by Guinness World Records.

Adele has set new UK records for a solo female with both the most consecutive weeks at number one (11, beating a record previously held by Madonna's The Immaculate Collection) and the most cumulative weeks at the top (18, erasing out both Alanis Morissette and Shania Twain, who shared the previous record at 11 weeks).

Ok I am confused. Thought this was the "Other Artists" section of the forum, where people talk about...other artists. What am I missing here?

You're missing the ill feeling towards a particular forum member from many of the British members of this forum. It's evident throughout this whole thread, however there's many others who feel the same way who prefer to say nothing. Like me they find it such a turn off that one person can spout so much hot air to the extent that they become the fifth highest poster on the forum without very saying any thing of value at all that's not lifted from the words of someone else. It's a major reason why many choose not to post here anymore, once quality meant something over quality. It seems those days have gone. As for Adele, I have no strong feelings one way or another.
