I've been hearing this song on the radio at work, so I decided to look it up. Holy fuck, it's so awesome. Her vocals are absolutely fantastic.

Rolling in the Deep

This song is also really good, not as upbeat. Different mood, but still fantastic.

Someone Like You

I've barely listened to her, but my band has tried out Set Fire To The Rain at rehearsals.

I liked Rolling in the Deep when it came out. And then it got overplayed on the radio. And then we got these new TVs installed at work to play stupid cool stuff for the customers, and they played that music video every half hour. And then we found out the TVs were installed wrong, meaning that instead of getting updates with new content every week or so, they would continue playing the same content until the company figured out how to fix the problem.

Adele. Every half hour. Fifty hours a week. For two months.

I fucking hate that song.

I first heard her album in February or whenever it came out last year, and I really enjoyed it.
But I mean, with Rolling in the Deep being played 300 times a day, everywhere it started to get slightly annoying, and while I would probably still enjoy her album, the radio-songs have been so overplayed that it's not even fun.

Adele? Isn't that a computer?

Fluffy Lothario · « **Reply #6 on:** January 17, 2012, 03:04:39 AM »

Never heard one of her songs. No radio exposure ftw.

I put her on my to-hear list though, as she sounds like something I'd probably be into.

I watched her new concert DVD from the Royal Albert Hall this weekend with my girlfriend; it was really good! Some of her songs are a little blah, but she has enough solid tunes and covers to make up for it.

As for the song, I dig it.

I think her vocals is good, but I really don't like her music except for Set fire to the rain.

KevShmev · « **Reply #14 on:** January 17, 2012, 10:08:28 AM »

I've only heard three of her songs:

Rolling in the Deep is a cool song.
Someone Like You isn't too bad, but I hear it everywhere I go now.
Chasing Pavements is pretty forgettable.

So yeah, Rolling in the Deep is definitely the best of what I've heard, although it is not a song I want to hear a lot.

Gadough · « **Reply #15 on:** January 17, 2012, 10:09:53 AM »

I'm not a fan, but it's nice to see someone with actual vocal talent topping the charts and getting so many views on Youtube.

Beowulf · « **Reply #16 on:** January 17, 2012, 10:46:02 AM »

I actually don't care for the studio version of "Someone Like You", but the live versions are spectacular. She changes the chorus up a bit in concert. There are a ton of clips on YouTube. Very powerful.

MetalJunkie · « **Reply #17 on:** January 17, 2012, 07:56:10 PM »

I hate everything about Linkin Park, but holy crap. This actually impressed me.

I'm tired of Rolling In The Deep, but I like Set Fire To The Rain, especially the Skrillex remix. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPSQJtQxw_k

(The second half of the video is just silent, WTF)

EDIT: Apparently not a remix done by Skrillex but still good.

Aramatheis · « **Reply #19 on:** January 17, 2012, 08:08:14 PM »

I'm not a fan, but I think she's ok.

she just seems odd to me when she sings, though. If you watch her music videos or w/e, she has this big, powerful voice and sound coming from her, and her face/lips/body are hardly moving

it just seems off to me. she hardly even changes her expression

WindMaster · « **Reply #20 on:** January 17, 2012, 08:39:21 PM »

The music videos are probably lip-synced.

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #21 on:** January 17, 2012, 08:58:00 PM »

She's alright. I'm really sick of some of her songs, but they're not bad by any means. Her music is pretty bland and uninteresting but she definitely has a nice voice, and sometimes it's enough to carry the weight and make her enjoyable.

antigoon · « **Reply #22 on:** January 17, 2012, 09:09:51 PM »

I love her cover of "I Can't Make You Love Me"

After seeing bon iver's rendition, all others pale in comparison

But anyway I like alot of her stuff. Can't wait to see where her career leads

Cyclopssss · « **Reply #24 on:** January 18, 2012, 01:49:52 AM »

She's definetely very talented. And doesn't seem to be bothered by her appearance overly, like most 'artists' nowadays.

but don't people at least try to make it seem like they're singing?

Most people do, but I guess Adele doesn't. I haven't seen any of her music videos though.

I'm not sure what you're referring to: the fact that she's on the "full-figured" side? I think she's very attractive. Very pretty face. I never really care about the size of someone if they have a pretty face, unless they are grossly obese. In which case, they don't ever have a beautiful face.

Yeah, I liked that one song at first but I am so sick of it between working in retail and just going out in public.

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #30 on:** January 20, 2012, 11:08:25 AM »

I love Rolling in the Deep. There are some good acapella covers on youtube, works really well that way as well.

Zook · « **Reply #31 on:** January 20, 2012, 11:53:38 AM »

I liked the Linkin Park cover, but I couldn't get through the real song. From what I sampled, she sounds like typical bluesy stuff. Nothing ground breaking or even that interesting. Quite amazing she has 200 million views on youtube as I've never seen that many views on a video, but her music is nothing special, and I'm not sure what warrants the popularity. Oh, popular music, I'll never understand you.

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #32 on:** January 20, 2012, 11:55:21 AM »

But you listen to Symphony X and Disturbed.

And you listen to System of a Down. What's your point?

Besides the obvious 5/8 wannabe trolling.
