I like her music, and I still like Rolling In The Deep I don't give a fuck.
I imagined the story to go more like this.

I was sitting a traffic light blaring Space Dye Vest and next to me in another car was Kevin Moore. And I'll never be open again.

Yeah, working in retail really killed Adele for me. Rolling In The Deep is a good song, but I've heard it too much. They also keep playing another song by her, and I've always hated it.
Hire me. I'm talentless but malleable.

I like Adele. As has been noted its good to see someone with actual musical ability and talent topping the charts. Unfortunately in this world of marketing and sales when something sells It will be pushed to it's max. So I understand some of you being put off by that.

 Off of 21 I like "Rolling in the Deep", "Turning Tables", "Set Fire to the Rain", "He Won't Go", "I'll Be Waiting", "Someone Like You" all a good bit and the rest of the songs aren't bad either.

"21" was, hands down, the best 2012 album. She's my favourite new artist. She's amazing in all ways.

In 19, maybe. But I think in 21 she got pretty strong. She created good imagery that transmitted powerful emotions. I do expect, however, stronger quality lyrics by the time 24 is released.

To be honest I really like "Set Fire To The Rain" but that's all for me. Because of this damn radio and television media, they force me to listen that girl every fucking time when I turn them on.

She's one of the better "mainstream"-artists for sure, and compared to many others I think she really has a talent.
Sadly there's still the problem of hearing her everywhere and all the time, which eventually makes me a bit sick of the music. "Rolling in the Deep" is not a bad song, but after hearing it 3000 times in 2011, I never want to hear it again.  :lol

21 is a fantastic album that needs to be heard from start to finish to truly understand it as it does tell a story about her breakup with her boyfriend. You start out with Rolling In The Deep which has the feelings of anger and as the album progresses, she goes from anger and vengeance to loneliness and isolation to acceptance.

For that reason and that I identify with it, I truly love this album

I think the lyrics are fine for what they are, I was talking more about the actual music. She has good songs but I wouldn't say her albums are great yet.

My wife has the Adele CD in the car and I like it cause it made me reminisce about how in 1997 I also didn't get why Celine Dion was impressing everyone.
I wouldn't want somebody with 18 kids to mow my damn lawn, based on a longstanding bias I have against crazy fucks.

Interviewer: If you are in the mood and you don’t have a boyfriend, what do you do?
Adele: Uhm, I just go to sleep.
Interviewer: But you have to do it!
Adele: No, you don’t have to do it.
Interviewer: But it’s good for you!
Adele: It’s good for you but you don’t have to do it … I don’t really want to talk about masturbating on TV when there’s cameras.
Interviewer: I was not talking about masturbating, I was talking about singing!
Adele: Oh my god.

I like a few songs, and recently bought the ones I do like.

However some are way too overplayed, I just can't listen to them anymore.

Adele comes across as much more genuine that most of her peers, IMO.  I dig the 60's/70's vibe to her music as well... it's got a "classy" kind of feel, which is refreshing compared to Katy Perry, Ke$ha, etc...

Funny, the term "overplayed" shouldn't be applied to people in this forum. If I find an Adele song "overplayed" it will be my fault.

It's not only up to the listener. Some songs are played in trailers, in movies, at restaurants and many other places. "Rolling in the Deep" is a great example of a song that was just everywhere in 2011. It wasn't like I wanted to hear it all the time, but since it popped up everywhere, obviously it resulted in becoming overplayed.

Someone Like You seems to be far more overplayed than anything else I've heard by her.  I had never heard the song until a few months ago, and then, I swear, I heard it at like four or five different public places in the week after that. :lol  Makes me think I had probably had heard it before I knew who it was and what the name of the song was.

So I finally gave in and bought 21.

I really wanted to see what all the fuss was about and see if she lived up to her reputation and I must say that the album is pretty fantastic and since I don't listen to the radio, all of it sounds fresh. Also, that Cure cover is hot.

Pretty good for a Bond song, but seems like she could have done it bit more in the song

Anyone heard the new song 'Hello' by Adele, I can't get it out of my head such a powerful vocal performance.

21 was easily the biggest album of the decade so far, possibly even the century, so it will be fascinating to see how the new one does. It's similar to when Michael Jackson had to follow up Thriller.
