Adele video

[scruffybird]

I have just discovered Adele and her fantastic song Rolling in the Deep.
Why the f@@k is she sat down all the way through the video???
Is it because she is not a size 8 or under?

Because it's about the music, not dancing? "not allowed" to get up

It's symbolic. I could go into it but I feel a bit tired.

I do like the dancer in the icing sugar. He/she is very good.

I am slightly obsessed by 'Someone like you'. Such a lovely song.

She always sits or stands still. Probably because she isn't a dancer, but I suspect there is also a bit of 'What the hell can we do with her? We can't have her sprawled semi naked across a bed like we usually do with young female pop stars' going on with the video makers. Sadly.

Btw - Adele is fabulous. I adore her.

I caught it bit of her on This Morning and she stood and delivered a great preformance

I love Adele her voice is so rich and pure wonderful to listen to. My favourite is still her version of Bob Dylans " to make you feel my love" I think she is gorgeous

I like the video. The simplicity makes you listen to the lyrics and music.

So this inspired me to look for the video, and it's fine by me. Love the song anyway, but it's great to see a woman in a music video who is fully dressed and not playing on her sexuality. I couldn't care less if she's just sitting on a chair!

The thing is, she almost always sits in a chair. It's her 'thing'. She sits at gigs, too, a lot of the time. Maybe she just feels comfortable like that?

It's early days yet...she may end up posing for Nuts magazine for all we know.

Either way, I think she's fab.

Its a video, and the concept was obv her sitting down. She stands during other performances. I don't think its about her weight.

Perhaps, just perhaps it's because that's what Adele wants to do. She might feel happier, more confident sitting down. If she was prancing around some people would be saying "Oh she's being made to do that, she'd be so much happier sitting down"

She is in some sort of stately home with perfect, static pieces of furniture, beautiful, restrained but forgotten about.

There are little signs of movement - the pristine glasses of water, the drummer in a corner.

Then you have the wild-beyond-belief icing-sugar-dancer.

Appearances, emotions. Adele, striking in a chair, still but wild emotions.

Not about being a fat bird.

And actually insulted that because she isn't a skinny bitch that everything she does has to be interpreted to being to do with her "weight".

A bit like an Ishiguro novel.

yes, beers. We must be ever so arty.

Record companies must have a nightmare dealing with a size 12+ woman who is, wait for it, talented......she obviously hasn't got the same management as Cheryl Cole.

She sits in , too. Nice vid.

God, I love that song. Her voice is beautiful.

,,,and she looks amazing, if that matters

Isn't she supposed to be a Miss Haversham-esque figure?

In the video I mean. Which is stunning. God, she's amazing.

check this out - love her version of Promise This
