    definately neither.

    Not a fan of either, Robyn makes better heartfelt sad pop love songs..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,154 ✭✭✭Rented Mule


    Is death an option ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,404 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    Alanis Morrissete's first 2 albums are great...kinda went downhill after that.

    Adelis Morrisette

    Hahaha Death is definately an option!

    Yeah I appreciate good lyrics and all but Adele is getting slightly overplayed! If I have to hear that feckin album again I think I might crack!

    Ya cant hate Alanis but back in the day Jagged little pill was unreal! Wat an album!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,047 ✭✭✭Da Shins Kelly


    Absolutely neither. Adele has a better voice, but she's basically a watered-down, more marketable version of Amy Winehouse. Her lyrics are rubbish too. Alanis Morrisette has neither good lyrics or a particularly good singing voice in my opinion. I wouldn't voluntarily listen to either.

    Shouldn't this be in the Boring Singers Forum?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,515 ✭✭✭✭admiralofthefleet


    should have been posted in celebrities and showbiz, but a thread about adele wouldnt 'fit' in there

    isnt it ironic, dont ya think


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,916 ✭✭✭✭orourkeda




    These boys would kill adele and alanis morrisette in a fight


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,818 ✭✭✭Minstrel27


    Both are ****e.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,387 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    Adele reminds me of Catherine Tate's 'dirty old nan' character.

    Well, 75% of them would. Don't think Dimebag is too handy in a ruck these days.

    To be fair Robyn has a lot of love from the indie crowd, Pitchfork especially love her, she is successful but its unfair to group her in with garbage like Adele really. She along with lykke li and a few others do make good pop music.:o:o

    At least Alanis looks like she was capable of ever being in a relationship to write break up songs.

    Adele looks like she should be writing songs about how she never got the shift.

    Also, Adele is 21. I don't know any 21 year olds who found and lost the loves of their lives at that age. I'm suspicious about her 'heartbreak' songs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 348 ✭✭garysully1986


    I bet ya's are all on youtube now looking up Alanis Morrissette - That particular time, And ya's are trying to type between your tears!!!!

    :D:D:D:D:D

    You're really comparing two different genres of music there, Fat Rock vs Period Rock.

    If I had to choose I'd go for the angstier Period Rock, so Alanis.

    The only time she suffers real heartbreak is when she runs out of pies, which isn't very often.

    Meh! Beginners.
    Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now...

    I dunno Adele kinda freaks me out... All those songs about her ex anyone else and she'd be labeled a stalker lol

    Like both but Fiona Apple trumps both when it comes to bitterness, bad men and miserable break-up music. She's had three great albums and is also genuinely a bit mad, which is a plus.




    Alanis Morissette had one of the best albums of the '90's but everything she has released since then has been very hit and miss. Adele only has two albums under her belt - her best may be yet to come.

    I think Adele V Michelle McManus would be more apt. Both fat, Ginger, moan bags that won't be around next year.

    But Adele is a fat whale...

    Because Michelle McManus was everywhere this year?
