    Not begrudging her fame, wealth, popularity etc. Fair play to her for achieving what she has and if you're a fan great.

    I just don't get it. Is it me or is every song a slow, piano driven dirge lament about a lost love ? Get over it Adele. Then again if its making you millions go for it. People reported in tears at Adele concert ffs.

    What do people do at an Adele gig ? Stand around crying while the other half watch it through their smart phones ?

    Who goes to Adele gigs ? Must be either couples or gaggles of women. Can't see 5 fellas deciding to head to Adele of a night out.

    Ha noI have no problem with her. Not for me and its driving me nuts hearing her every 5 minutes on the radio in the build up to the gigs here.

    Making it out to be like the second coming of Christ.

    She's good at what she does, I'll give her that. Not my cup of tea and I am fairly sick of seeing her face everywhere and hearing her songs

    ...but from the interviews I've seen she seems fairly down to earth so I won't begrudge her for being immensely successful. Fair play to her.

    Similarly with Conor McGregor, I hate that ****ing chap. I really dislike him and am very sick of the song and dance around him in the media. However, he's fantastic at what he does, he's doing our little country proud and he's happy so who the **** am I to complain.

    Will she ever feckin get over her BF leaving her at all.

    Seems to be the substance of every song she wails.

    She is only 27 and will go far. Good luck to her.

    I wonder where the BF is now, and if he is kicking himself for dumping her. ha ha.

    It's music for housewives and grannies. I don't begrudge her at all for being famous, just wouldn't listen to her even if she was playing in my garden.

    The music I listen to is so much cooler than the music you listen to.

    The only reason she does so well in the charts is because middle aged women don't know how to torrent

    She's the new:

    David Gray
    Dido

    I remember seeing a piece on TV a while back about how to make a successful single/song. The secret seemed to be slow, soppy, romantic, heartbreak.
    Sells by the bucket load. Think James Blunt "You're Beautiful". Will live comfortably off that one hit.

    Do you really think Bryan Adams likes singing "Everything I Do"? I bet he doesn't but he is MEGA rich because of it.

    At the end of the day, we can moan all we like, but Adele is laughing all the way to the bank and doesn't give a damn. Same as all the rest of em.

    Anyway, was just thinking.... did the jilter boyf exist at all? He never said a word and if he did he could be FAMOUS lol.

    I just wish she'd write about something else, she has a great voice but every song is the same, write about something else and change the tempo of some songs, her new album wasn't particularly great imo

    I doubt there were too many grannies in the Point/O2/3 Arena. God that gets me too, the amount of times that venue has changed names. Rant Rant.

    Apparently he came out saying he wanted a share of the money she made from her previous album because it was all about him.

    But she told him to fook off, 'as if he had anything to do with the creative process' I remember reading.

    So there ya have it now!

    Not a chance will she leave the ex out of her songs. That's her meal ticket.

    It's the current beau/dad of Angelo or whatever the feck the child's name is that is in the shadows and boy is he only trotting after the ex.

    I love having a rant.

    What's her demographic? I'm guessing woman 25-50?

    I don't know of many male fans.

    Great voice but an average songwriter at best. From a creative standpoint I think she needs to break out of her comfort zone and evolve.

    I'm going to get singing lessons and tell the OH to feck off and leave me and I'll be in bits for a while.

    Then I'll write and sings songs about him for two years, get to be rich and HELLOOOO, he can come back to me then.

    Jeez it's so easy to get rich isn't it.

    Another rant. And breathe now Spanish.... lol
