To love Adele

I just think she's a fab role model, not all perfect and skinny or airbrushed. She was fab at Glasto. Nice and refreshing to have such a great singer who is just, well, herself.

Medal in the post.....

BorpBorpBorp · 28/07/2016 15:59

Yes, everybody else hates her, that's why she's so unsuccessful and has hardly sold a single record.

Fishcake72 · 28/07/2016 16:01

I can't stand her!

LikeDylanInTheMovies · 28/07/2016 16:01

YABU.

She's an obnoxious loudmouth whose music honks worse than week old knob cheese. Her musical palate is so pedestrian that she's made the same album three times and if her lyrics were written in a letter she'd get an injunction taken out against her for stalking.

LovelyBath77 · 28/07/2016 16:02

Haha! Yes I think I'm a bit out of touch, I have just 'discovered' her (bit sad really).

Suppose that depends whether you would consider me unreasonable for not liking her?

I was gonna say that it's simply a matter of taste, though as your first reply shows, some people are too entitled to understand the concept....

llhj · 28/07/2016 16:06

Yes she's fab.

ABloodyDifficultWoman · 28/07/2016 16:09

Fishcake - she speaks very highly of you Grin

LovelyBath77 · 28/07/2016 16:13

Think I cross-posted, sorry if i seem 'entitled' (?) It was meant to be not a serious thread really...

God, some of the posters on this thread sound so bloody miserable! The OP just started a nice thread about a singer.

I like her - I think she just about treads the correct line of 'normal cockney pass' whilst managing not to tip over into annoying, and she is a cracking singer and songwriter. Plus I love that she appears not to give a fuck about being a certain 'size' which is incredibly rare.

Oh for fuck's sake. Get a grip.

Honestly lovely ignore these people!

LovelyBath77 · 28/07/2016 16:19

Haha I don't often post on here - is it not meant to be fun then, I take it?! (goes deadly serious)

RedHareWithBlondeHair · 28/07/2016 16:21

Of course yanbu to like her and her music.

But yabu for this: "not all perfect and skinny or airbrushed."
Skinny people aren't perfect. And it's laughable to think that she's never been airbrushed.

LovelyBath77 · 28/07/2016 16:21

I didn't understand that, about being too entitled to understand? Maybe I'm too thick (liking Adele would seem to indicate as such) Wink

I didnt mean you OP, my response was meant to be lighthearted, as in I dont like her particularly but yanbu if you do. And that it is unreasonable to comment on a post for no other reason than to belittle someone that their tastes may differ from those of another.

In short, YANBU.

PortiaCastis · 28/07/2016 16:23

I like her and don't care how she writes her songs. Rolling in the deep is a favourite of mine

ThatsMyStapler · 28/07/2016 16:24

i like her singing but i find her swearing on awards shows etc, and rude gestures a bit, well, cringey

ValhallaAwaits · 28/07/2016 16:24

I meant the first reply to your original post, the one about the medal.

Brandonstarkflakes · 28/07/2016 16:24

Oh god sorry vallhalla I totally misunderstood your post too, I thought you were talking about the OPs first reply!

LovelyBath77 · 28/07/2016 16:27

What i was thinking about while mentioning the appearance is teenage girls, and how they often have eating disorders and it is sometimes attributed to skinny role models. I think it's good to have someone who doesn't care so much about their appearance and I do think this is healthy for young girls.

I'm sorry I am not an expert in airbrushing etc and see that might happen with her too, but I meant in general. Sorry if I have offended anyone.
