Have only heard it once. I'm not over enamoured with it.

Agree with you.

MyOtherProfile · 15/10/2021 09:28

I haven't heard it but I'm shocked it was such a big thing on radio 4 this morning! They were interviewing various different people about it and giving it a lot of airtime. Radio 4!

MrsSkylerWhite · 15/10/2021 09:28

Voice as great as ever. Song, ok.

Crunchymum · 15/10/2021 09:30

Yeah my take is:
Voice good, PR phenomenal, song Meh.

Well, there isn't really anything else significant going on in the world for radio 4 to discuss.

stairway · 15/10/2021 09:31

I’m not keen.

Luckytattie · 15/10/2021 09:32

I don't really like her voice. I imagine her albums get pretty boring and repetitive.
Don't think much of the song.

girlmom21 · 15/10/2021 09:32

I love it, but I love everything she does.

TempleofZoom · 15/10/2021 09:33

Tedious warbling.

Luckytattie · 15/10/2021 09:33

I think she's a poor man's Celine Dion.

Bontanics · 15/10/2021 10:48

Great voice as usual but it isn't one of her better songs.

Now that is a surprise.
WellTidy · 15/10/2021 10:57

The first thing I thought was that I definitely don’t have the voice to be able to sing along!

ANameChangeAgain · 15/10/2021 10:58

All of Adele's are growers I think.

BrilloPaddy · 15/10/2021 10:58

SHe's an absolute triumph of marketing and PR.

DH loves her, but I think her voice changed after she had surgery and it's just lacking something. Hello is possibly one of the most dirgeful songs ever written.

Livsy · 15/10/2021 10:58

It is nice song. Her voice is amazing

TheVanguardSix · 15/10/2021 10:59

It’s ridiculous the hype she gets.

Jaysmith71 · 15/10/2021 11:00

Great Voice, but what a moany, whiney, fake-yank victim junkie she is.

Like Striesand, more talent than taste.

SirensofTitan · 15/10/2021 11:00

I haven't really liked any of her other stuff but I really like it, her record company owe the BBC millions for the free publicity though, I imagine they'll be getting complaints about the wall to wall coverage

Wiglio · 15/10/2021 11:04

@BrilloPaddy-agree what a dirge, don’t like her voice either, it’s whiney

Decaffe · 15/10/2021 11:06

I like it, and her, but I don’t like the lyric about her only being a child as a reason for her unhappiness. She was 30 when she got married!

Chikapu · 15/10/2021 11:09

It's just the same old, same old from her really. That whiny style of singing is not my cup of Earl Grey though.

Libertaire · 15/10/2021 11:09

Awful, just like everything else she has ever done. Adele is the most limited, tuneless, overrated ‘singer’ of all time. I don’t blame the bloke who dumped her all those years ago and I’m not interested in listening to her still wailing on about it like a cow in labour.

bubbletrumps · 15/10/2021 11:10

It's predictable and uninspiring.

Yes, I was going to say that. I’m not a massive fan and am a bit confused at the huge deal this seems to be, but generally with Adele’s songs I do like them more the more I hear them.
