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

Got bored after the first few phrases and stopped listening.

Timeisavirtue · 15/10/2021 22:53

I just love her voice, the song is okay, not as good as previous songs, I think it will grow on me but her voice is amazing!

BiLuminous · 15/10/2021 22:58

Sounds like an Adele song.

MN is the worst place sometimes honestly it is.“

Why?

Whiney, depressing. It’s very Adele, really!
Glad she’s lost that slightly strangled larynx sound a bit since her surgery, but I really don’t get the hype about her - her songs sort of blur together.

That's amazing @AlecTrevelyan006 Grin

@Evesgarden

She is an incredible singer. Her sell out tours show people like her. I dont think she would honestly give a fuck about a few jealous MNers slagging her off Grin

I wonder what those that are slagging her off sing like ..

Why when anyone says they don't like a singer, actor or whatever is it always supposedly down to jealousy?

I wouldn't say no to some of her money but in no other respect am I jealous of Adele. A marriage that last less than a year is not something to be jealous of. Neither am I the slightest bit jealous that she has a child.

I would absolutely love to be able to sing and sound like a cat being murdered but if I could choose to be able to sing like someone famous I would never ever choose her whiny voice

Catlover77 · 16/10/2021 08:18

Bill Bailey - awesome
Adele - whiny, melodramatic singer

By the way, I’m not jealous as per a PP’s viewpoint. well, yes, maybe I am jealous of Bill Bailey!

I can't sing for shit, still can't abide Adele's boring tunes though.

I'm a terrible singer but I can still have an opinion on what I'm listening to. I actually like her voice but as can't bear the dirge like soul searching desperate power ballad tripe she churns out. Why can't she shake things up a little?

Her current "makeover " is hilarious too, all that backcombing and pouting. She looks like Belle from Beauty and the Beast in that yellow dress on the cover of Vogue. It's all so naff and mainstream.

And as for the weight loss "I just started going to the gym a lot, that's all" Confused

Bill Bailey is a genius!

Myusernameisnotmyusernameno · 16/10/2021 11:09

@wetpants

I’ve liked Adele’s previous stuff but this new single is hideous. I can’t bear the screechy yodelling at all, is it the range or how come her higher notes now hurt my ears?

I had to turn the radio 2 off when they played the song the second time today (5 mins after it was played the first time Hmm), I just couldn’t listen to it again, thats how much it grated on already.

I guess I can’t listen to the radio at all for next few weeks Sad

Switch to 6 music. No Adele on there Grin
MadMadMadamMim · 16/10/2021 11:10

Great voice. Dull song.

OrangeJuiceAndNoodles · 16/10/2021 14:02

Me and DH are now walking around the house singing 'why, why, why, why, WHY WHY WHY?!' 😹

She said she ate better and had a personal trainer, what's so radical about that? Having a child probably made her want to be healthier. She also got divorced and went through a lot of stress which is something that makes a lot of people lose weight.

It was a gastric sleeve, @BiLuminous, I think that’s what the confused face was about!

You don’t actually know that so why are you posting like you’re her surgeon? Confused

Good voice. Sounds like all her other songs though.

How is not liking Adele's music 'jealousy'?

I sing as beautifully as two squabbling cats... I'd still rather listen to a bag of rusty being thrown down the stairs than Adele's music. That's purely because Adele's music style is not to my taste, not because I am jealous.

EverExhaustedBudgie · 17/10/2021 12:32

rusty nails

GillBiggeloesHair · 17/10/2021 13:05

It's a bit warbly and maudlin for me.

Rolling In The Deep is an EPIC tune and her best IMO.

Underamour · 17/10/2021 13:58

I mean the song is standard Adele- very good which is why she is a multi millionaire. She also doesn’t lay into her ex at all. I love her speaking voice though- if only she would say Fuck’s sake with an eye roll it would have been perfect Grin

MeredithMae · 17/10/2021 16:15

Laughing at the pp saying she's had a gastric sleeve without even 0.0% of evidence

I like it, it's not a banger though

Hetty0 · 17/10/2021 18:32

Considering she’s had her teeth, lips, nose and boobs done is gastric surgery really that unlikely? People do not drop that kind of weight so quickly and to that extent, through ‘healthy eating and exercise.’ It simply does not happen.
