I think she's fantastic
OK in places
No opinion either way

What do you really think of Adele?
I see the BBC are screening her Royal Albert Hall concert yet again tonight (I can recall at least 3 other screenings in the last few months), I hope she's bunging the 'beeb' some commission money, but I doubt it especially as she whines about paying her tax bill!
Anyway, I seem to have a complete blind spot for her and wondered what others thought?

I find her vocal style a bit irritating but I am not much for female vocalists on the whole, Aretha Franklin being an odd exception. No opinion either way really, I drifted away from following contemporary music a fair few years ago now.

Vocally, I think she is a bit refreshing on some tracks, but don't fancy a programme of one artist. My attention span won't take it.
Besides, she is from Essex, and starting life as an Essex boy, another reason to support her. In fact, I support all UK artists bringing money into UK, especially with the Eurovision looming...Go Englebert!

Only heard her sing once, couldn't understand what the fuss is about. Not a patch on, say, Aretha Franklin, Dusty Springfield or Roberta Flack.

Couldn't agree more, but she is selling albums by the bucket loadOriginally Posted by Joe
Mind you, the media hype that surrounds her only helps to boost those sales.
Keep the votes coming, it is interesting so far and pretty much as I anticipated

I voted no opinion either way, simply because I have never knowingly heard any of her output.
Probably not my cup of tea though so I'm not looking to change that

It's quite easy. I don't listen to the radio, except it does wake me up in the morning. But it's tuned to radio 1 & it's that fat uncouth bugger (Moyles) on there so he gets switched off pronto
I don't watch TV either, so no input there...
No Adele, no Jessie J, no Simon Cowell, no JLS, no woman no cry
Try it some time
