You don't know shit buddy! And, IF Tupac was still alive, he'd tell you the same thing.

Yep, people need to support these tresured artists.

I agree Adele is a breath of fresh air.

Fresh air?

What is she doing that Janet, Jasmine Sullivan, Lalah Hathaway, ledisi, Ndambi, Jennifer Hudson, Jill Scott, and a host of others isn't doing?

You guys should check Kadja Bonet. She writes and produces her own stuff. Hopefully, she will get the push to break out big.

After seeing this post I hate to double check that Joss Stone wasn't dead.

A breath of fresh air =/= innovation, it means different and nothing more.

The question should be "What is she doing that Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Ariana Grande and a host of others aren't doing?"

That's exactly who she's an alternative to.

I don't understand what you mean.

I thought you were done with Adele threads?

As others have said, you're comparing her to the wrong artists. Her style is nothing like the people you listed, stop playin'.

No problem.

U won't see me on another Adele thread. I'll add her 2 a LONG list.

She may not be your cup of tea but you have to admit she is better than those other pop stars....

what exactly makes her 'better' than those artists?

MotownSubdivision said:

mjscarousal said:

She does not make R&B or black music. Why do people keep saying this?

Apparently being white and having a great singing voice is enough to qualify as a vulture of black culture now. Adele doesn't strike me as a blue-eyed soul singer like so many claim.

the thing is she gets round the clock play on urban radio however black artists are not getting any airplay at top 40. if 'hello' can be played on urban why cant 'no sleeep' or 'shame' by tyrese or 'fools gold' by jill be played on pop stations?

Lionel Richie Planning Collaboration with Adele
12-02-15

Ever since Adele returned to the music world with a simple “Hello,” the Internet-savvy have been pairing the hit with Lionel Richie’s iconic 1984 song of the same name.

Richie even got in on the fun,posting a mashup clip on his Instagram. But now it looks like the two artists may actually be joining forces in real life.

Richie recently revealed his plans for a collaboration with Adele in an interview with E! News.

“We are going to be doing something together — that’s already almost in the works,” he said. However, he noted that it’s unlikely to happen until after Adele is finished touring.

“Her mission is [to] get her record out and go on tour, so until she finishes that cycle, that won’t happen just yet. She is committed to that.”

Richie also shrugged off the claims people made about Adele stealing “Hello,” and instead, took the similarities good-naturedly. “What it did was it blew everything to the ceiling. The conversation came up,” he said. “If you say Adele and you say Lionel or Lionel and Adele…that’s the best pairing you could have!”

But she changed history forever, right? Are we over this album already? I didn't listen to it myself, so I suppose I've been over it.. or was never under it to begin with?

Adele's New Album Hits Five Million in Sales

December 11, 2015

Adele keeps breaking records left and right: her new album 25 has now sold more than five million copies in the U.S. alone. It's the first album to sell that many copies in a calendar year since 2011, when Adele did it with 21.

As Billboard reports, to find someone who managed to sell that many copies of an album in a year who isn't Adele, you need to go back to 2004, when Usher's Confessions moved 7.98 million copies.

More impressively, there have only been 11 albums released in the past decade that have managed to sell five million copies or more overall. 25 is one of them; so is 21. Three of the 11 are by Taylor Swift, and albums by Mariah Carey, Nickelback, Carrie Underwood, Josh Groban, Daughtryand 50 Cent round out the list.

Amazing, five millions in just a month or so.

I believe it. When I worked at a music store, it was a store full of stuff they hoped to sell, but there would always be "THE" hot title they had many copies of but still ran out. I have been seeing the stores I normally shop at just keep copies of 25 right by the register. It's a real moneymaker.

Already sick of hearing Adele on the radio and on tv , the off button is fucking cool

It makes most listeners feel something, other than a tingle in the trousers.

I know, but she is not the only one who can achieve that, and besides that tingle you are talkin about, well if you are a man, you must know how great it is to feel it. It feels just fuckin great.

As you see it, the album is an overhyped disappointment. Yeah, yeah, yeah... we get it, GC.

On Friday I was on my way to pick-up some Lunch and my local R&B Radio station played "Hello"...Yes, you guys have posted the song-link on this site, but I never clicked on it...I listened to the song while driving and Adele is SANGING...LOL...That White Woman is Singing that Damn Song....LOL...I was shocked cuz I was not expecting her voice to be that BIG & Soulful..Damn....Hello from the other side...Sing Adele....

So beyond the hype.......do you think this project is worthy of the fastest selling album of all time?

I'll give you a chance to pick an album you believe merits that title. I'm not keen on attempting to alter your opinion about Adele's 25.

Great cd! I'm really loving it. I'm so happy for her success.
