Mumsnet Talk

You are lovely but Please enunciate dear. What on earth is a "sky foal in a crumb bowl"?

Or am I just turning into my mum?

I thought the same.

She should record a duet with Ronan Keating

'You sshhay it beshhht when you shhhay nothing at all'

Sean lock asked why she was singing about scaffolding.

When I scaffoooooollllllld.

Oh good, I'm so glad I'm not the only one!

Dh just laughs at me, not sure if he's agreeing with me or humouring me.

You are turning into you mother! It's just her cockney accent, I happen to sound the same.

I am irrationally annoyed that she rhymes skyfall and crumble. They don't rhyme!

Dear Adele,

Your success has gone to your head.

I thought you were rude, not charming at the last Brits. I didn't listen to your acceptance speech last night because I find you irritating.

I think your songs are mediocre and really don't get the hype.

That's probably why you irritate me. That and your annoying speaking voice.

Adele probably takes after Sinatra and a few others with rea\l talent. Singing is not a manners convention. 20 million made in a few years would go to anyones head

She can sing. How dare she be common though.

It's 'er Landen accent, innit

Laverly voice, yeah...but fick as two short plaaaahnks

Why does having a London accent make her thick?

Cockneys can enunciate when they're singing. I have an irrational anger about Skyfaw. There's no excuse.

Hazel her London accent doesn't make her thick. Her lack of intelligence makes her thick.

My DCs sing about the Skype phone when they sing along to Skyfall.

She was rude before she got rich and famous, I heard her being interviewed before her first single came out and she didn't come across well

DH said she came into the restaurant he works at once, she had her assistant ring ahead before hand demanding the most private table they had. Whilst there she couldn't stop swanning in and out the restaurant going for ciggies, wearing a fur coat and ginormous floppy hat. Very inconspicuous.

Don't mind if she's thick. The accent's fine by me.

Don't like the rudeness though.

And that song is soooooo feckin boring. If I were skydiving to that, I'd cut my own parachute cords just to get the monotony over with quicker.

Agree let's Skyfall jusy sounds like one, long extended, droning fart...and you can clearly hear that Adele was constantly yawning as she recorded it.

All those long, drawn out notes...she's just mid-yawn, that's all.

Ooh, didn't realise she was rude. I take back my original "lovely" remark.

Love all the other interpretations of skyfall.

I laugh when this comes on - skyfaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwl cumbawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwl

What a nasty thread, built upon a lot of pernicious heresay and differing tastes.

Who gives a fuck what her Iq is, or if she is rude or not? She's a singer, how about we stick to judging her singing? novel idea I know, but it just might catch on.

I'm indifferent to Adele but I hate the song, it's such a generic 'bond song', like they stole bits of the bond theme tune and other bond songs, mashed them all together and got her to sing skyfall over and over - hey presto, hit single!

I care whether she's rude or not - because it's better if people are not.
