Adele's new single!

That has to be the most ignorant post I've ever read on here!

She writes and sings about love songs - as do many, many other artists - in fact, "Love," in all its forms, is the subject of many a performance.

She writes song after song about the same thing, one trick pony.

Oh look ive just spilt my brew, now wheres that notepad.

It's not just the broken heart lyrics, it's the 'music by numbers' approach to the melodies and structures of most pop songs these days. I can ignore dodgy lyrics but I can't stand bog standard, run of the mill tunes.

Trouble is that that is what 95% of the population want when they are buying a record. Now and again I like what I regard as some relatively way out stuff that messes with the standard song structure of verse, chorus, verse, chorus bride chorus. But I hopefully can appreciate when someone is doing the traditional song writing stuff well, which I think she mostly does. There's very little of the vocal gymnastics that most females seem to need to do nowadays, yes they are pretty simple tunes but they are harmless enough in a sing along catchy kind of way and she seems to have her head screwed on the right way.

Plus as a father of a young girl it is so refreshing to see a female singer being extremely successful who is not stick thin or who dresses like a whore that panders to male fantasies in her videos to sell more copies of her record, concert tickets or merchandise. She is sending out an extremely powerful message in a world of hyper sexualisation of women in the entertainment industry that is constantly fed into the minds of young children.

Much as I would like Mogwai, Shels or Godspeed You Black Emperor to be at number one it ain't going to happen. So to me if the masses are going to be buying this kind of stuff then they may as well buy her stuff as she does it well.

And it could be worse, after all, this is a forum that had a number of posts extolling the virtues of Status Quo.;)

Miserable cow, every song she has ever written is about some sad experience or some bloke breaking her heart.

She either put it about loads when she was younger and got dumped a lot or has been involved in the longest break up in the history of the world.

Wasn't that Dido?! :D. Now, she was dull.
 
Dido, The Corrs - Serial producers of the dullest records in recent history.

I'm with HK. So few female singers don't use sex to sell, whether in videos, on stage or in newspapers with those accidental pictures of them with see-through tops or hot pants on a freezing night. Adele doesn't do any of that. She stands there, belts her songs out and doesn't play the fame game. Good on her.
 
Ewwwwwwww, Adele in hot pants and a see-through top.

I have a Dido album on my Ipod, thanks to my mate loading it onto my laptop, I press skip every time it tries to play a track. She is just so dull!

That's a bit harsh birchy, especially that last paragraph about someone you don't know.

You could go as far back as Leadbelly to hear songwriters composing songs about heartbreak, personal torment etc, some of this music might not appeal to everyone but some of this genre of music has produced songs of brilliance.
