SchemingDemon Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Who the hell brought a discussion about Adele into this thread? I've read that she's kinda cocky, smokes a pack a day and drinks shitty beer. But like others said, she's not a talentless ho, so that's deserving of respect Anyways, anyone have any numbers on how many copies of CA have sold already?

beneathbetweenbehindyourmom Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 QUOTE (trenken @ Jun 15 2012, 10:19 PM)Im not all up her ass or anything. My girlfriend loves her and I have a lot of respect for her after that documentary I saw on her and found out she writes all the music on top of her great voice. Kind of like this song of hers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBcMKwbMEcQ Wow. I actually just listened to that song to see what this chick sounds like, as I have been hearing about her for a while now, but have never heard her music. I must say that your selection isn't changing any minds about her over here. This sounds like generic pop drivel IMO. I listen to all types of music including female singer songwriter type stuff, but this just isn't very interesting or listenable to me. I don't know how people keep talking about this Adele person like "oh my god she writes her own songs!" A lot of people write their own songs... *ahem* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanaseb Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 QUOTE (metallithrax @ Jun 16 2012, 04:59 PM) Well, i'm from the UK, and cannot stand Adele. Maybe it's because I hear her stuff too often, but it is too whiny and dreary for me. Yes, she has talent, but her music will not last as long as some of the all time greats. same here completely.

Deckiller Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) There's nothing that pops out to me when it comes to Adele - she just sounds like a typical pop singer-songwriter with a blues influence. I think she's definitely a cut above all that techno-hiphop-pop-fusion stuff, but she's still not my cup of tea. She's a good singer. Critics are going gaga over her anyway (and the awards just keep piling up for her) - it's not like she's struggling for acclaim like Rush were in the 70s.

Rush-O-Matic Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Holy crap. Rush is my favorite band of all time, and I love Clockwork Angels. But, you guys talking smack about Adele - wtf? If you've heard of her, and you think she's just another pop singer, you've lost your mind. The whole album was practically recorded with just a piano and Adele, occasionally adding drums / bass. The entire album is carried on the weight of her voice. It's fantastic. I would absolutely choose Rush over Adele to listen to, but to limit yourself and not recognize the brilliance of 21 is incredibly small minded. Yes, "Someone Like You" has been over-played. But, the yearning and raw emotion captured in that performance is remarkable. If you haven't heard of her, that is stunning, and I highly recommend you expand your listening limitations. I honestly don't know how you can exist in the world in the past year and a half, and not have heard of Adele. Seriously. She did not hold the top spot for so long because it's bubble gum pop Britney Spears teenage buying frenzy. She's the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like I said, I can tolerate her far more than anything else on the radio today. (Dear God, if I have to hear that Scorpions ripoff song "We Are Young" again I will start smashing things.)

Why, has she got a mafia that's gonna kill us or something? No, I mean shes very successful and greatly respected. Taking shots at her just makes you look ignorant and jealous. She isnt some industry tool like Justin Bieber. Shes been singing and writing her whole life, is not attractive at all, and somehow managed to sell more with 1 album than Rush did from their beginning all the way through their peak of popularity. That deserves respect in my book. Im not even a fan of hers but I have a huge amount of respect after seeing a documentary on TV about her. She's the type of artist that will go on to do a lot of different styles of music for many years, like Rush. She isnt a band herself, but she plays instruments, writes all the music and some decent lyrics and can sing her ass off. Hahahaha!! Some of these newbie fanbois are hilarious!!! What a joke!! I remember when Adele was selling more copies than the new Van Halen record!! Who gives a shit!! That's a very solid number for our boys!! I am sure it will outsell "Snakes & Arrows." Any takers?

tas7 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Adele I can cope with,my wife is always playing the CD.But it will probably be a one off mega seller like Alanis Morrisette and Nora Jones. We are Rush fans, we know Clockwork Angels will debut at No 2 then be No 62 the following week bar a sudden miracle when the mainstream morons who buy all the crap in the Billboard 200 suddenly decide to like Rush. I can't believe that people are still buying Bob Seger,Journey or CCR records, that's if you can trust the charts. But I rather think Rush have influenced a few more people than Adele has or will.

presto123 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) Today's culture places way too much value on a singer because of shows like American Idol. Yes of course a singer is important but I think most people don't realize the amount of work it takes to master an instrument. Ever heard of the 10,000 hour rule? If not look it up. Most singers probably don't do a tenth of the work. Edited June 17, 2012 by presto123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanadoood Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 It's sad to all the close minded comments in this thread. Adele is a legitimate talent. Not everyone wants to hear Prog rock styled music. Just because she happens to be popular doesn't mean she isn't a real artist. She is as far Away from a Kate perry type as you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
