The video is dull and fails to convey any connection between her and her ex.

No sense complaining about a dramatic portrayal in a video.

I ain't complaining, mo-fo, just sayin' the video didn't light my fire.

The video is weak and the song lacked the spark I need/hoped for.

I bought the deluxe version of 21 and may buy 25 but the lead single is only ok and I'm hoping the album has her reaching deeper so my walls fall.

Question: Why does any message board exist if there's only one opinion?

Prince and Adele had a brief conversation before his show February 2014, and the next day (in the papers) they were collaborating on her next album.

I didn't make it to the end of the song. First impression: boring. Good luck to her, though.

I hardly ever buy albums anymore, but I bought Adele 21 after listening to one half of one song and it was every bit as good as I thought it'd be. Looking forward to the new album.

I never bought her old CDs but I am not a hater either. She *can* sing, and even lifts this rather average ballad into the realm of emotion, I think. The song itself, the material? Meh.

What's your problem with Adele? Is it that she's not Prince, Mint Condition, Jack White or Van Hunt?

Adele can sing her ass off, period.

But I guess she's not "edgy" enough? No gimmicks? Not enough drama/stunts? No twitter beefs or tabloid stories?

Well this is a Prince forum - so most people like a bit of spunk from their artists.

I think the song is nice and she is such an atttractive woman (especially for a larger lady).

BUT the media and general public hype her up too much - it's so off putting. In fact I stopped listening to the radio in the UK since the single dropped because I don't want to hear people praise her like she's the second coming. I even switched to a a youth dance station but they were playing a remix to 'hello' urgh!

I guess she's like a credible Celine Dion - she has an amazing voice and songs that appeal to the masses, but has a cockney voice and swears from time to time so she's 'cool'

I agree that she is overrated by the media but in a time when everybody is being overrated by the media and even more by fans, she's one of the more deserving of the praise she gets. In the sea of Beyonces, Taylor Swifts, Justin Timberlakes, Justin Biebers and other overhyped pop stars, Adele's praise is much more believable.

But I think they played thier cards right.

I'm not in love with the song, and it's far from terrible, but for a song I feel so-so about it sure is stuck in my head.

LOL, we're not getting quite that much Adele exposure on this side of the pond so that's an issue I did not know about. lol
