Adel > 21

I was checking out Billboard album charts and know Adel is a hot seller but was curious how she has been able to nest herself in the # 1 and 2 slot for so long...65 weeks+ and most has been spent in the 1 or 2 spot. It would seem by now everyone who was getting the cd already got it; I don't think she is on tour....can one "buy" their way to the top spot? She is good but not seeing what's fueling her chart position?

Maybe both. nod Adele has a commanding voice and all, but I haven't been bitten by the bug yet. Songs about heartbreak and regret...heard it all before. But I do like "Rumor Has It." razz

I think that people tend to overrate both her vocal abilities and the originality of her personality. Vocal abilities: she has a nice and soulful voice, but not one that is dramatically outstanding. Personality: apart from being overweight and not the average beatiful pop girl #1260, I don't see much originality.

But what is absolutely not overrated are her abilities as a songwriter. I think that this young lady is a fantastic writer, probably one of the best to enter the pop scene in the past 15 years!

I didn't buy it until about a month ago, after someone played a few songs for me. I'd only heard "Rolling In The Deep" (pretty much all last year), but I liked what I heard and realized she had the goods to back up the word-of-mouth hype, so I bought it. Enjoy it immensely.

that's already a lot: not your average pop girl, soulful voice and fantastic songwriter....there are hnot a lot of people in the charts who can say that.

I already said this in another post, but adele has something record companies just keep forgetting: she's for all ages! children like her, grown ups like her. Grown ups are not going to buy a Rihanna or Britney album. Kids buy her songs, grown ups her albums....

it's ok when some folks don't believe the hype, even if the hyped artist is ACTUALLY good, but some of you are just jumping the shark with all those xtremely insulting, childish and misogynistic comments

my blacklist is still growing lol

except sanity, the ability to show up to her own concerts, and actually put out music.

Yea but were looking at their material and what their artistic abilities are.

I dont even know why you even responded to me with this biased bullshit

You like to trash talented artists but glorify non talented ones. I like Adele but OVERALL Lauryn is the shit. Miseducation is better than anything Adele has put out objectively and thats saying alot because I like Adele. The fact that she hasnt put out any songs has NOTHING to do with the music she has put out, her past performances, talent and overall artistic abilities.

You dont know her and Im sure your not a licenses psychologist ..you dont have the right to diagnose anybody as being insane.... why not worry about your own life instead of judging the life of a celebrity you dont know and ignorantly making that your criteria on how good or not good she is.....confused

Oh, okay lol. I was thinking you were being too fanatical over Hill. Adele is okay for what/who she is though.
