An audience with Adele

[Tashyboy]

I still dont like her music and no complaining by the footy crew or whoever is going to change that. I would say Alison Moyet had a better voice.
Anyway, you lot carry on.....

Now we are talking brother. ?

Just outta interest. What is Adele’s most uplifting happy song. ??

 

[Imurg]

Has she done one?

As Homer said, it's his opinion. He has a right to it. There are lots of singers and bands that people like and others can't stand them. It doesn't make either side right or wrong. It's just an opinion. It's how it sounds to the individual ear.

As I said in my first sentence in post 99, "Yes you're entitled to your opinion".
It's very annoying when I read, "Very out of tune and can't reach the notes".
I wonder if all who have given their ( unfair) opinion actually watched the whole show. Apart from the first half hour, I watched it all and she was spot on in every song.
If someone posts here about an artist or band that they like and it's not to my taste, I wouldn't dream of slagging them off as some on here have done. Certainly not sticking pins in body parts - very crass!

 

[Golfmmad]

And, "Set Fire To The Rain", and "When We Were Young".

Thankyou Amanda! ?

 

[Foxholer]

That's still a song of 'regret/lost opportunity'!

Soul music tends to be a bit unhappyish.

Some of her songs are more upbeat although the lyrics still less so. She sings from the heart and I guess when she's happy doesn't write much...many artists over the years have been similar.

For me I'll never, ever forget that performance at the Brits of "Someone Like You"...breathtaking. "Can't sing, no talent"...not for me.

Stunning performance and heard many say it was one of the best they have seen at the awards

I googled it and she sang “happy birthday” once to one of her kids. ?

She certainly does have a stage 'presence'!
I prefer this! (Same title different song/performer). Saw him in concert whenever I could (too many) years ago, but this is still up there as one of my favourites! Far more 'positive' too!

Thanks for putting that up Phil, just listened and worth noting that the pianist was also brilliant and not often mentioned.

Yes yes yes.
I saw her with Michel Legrand a few years back, such a classy singer. For a musician as high calibre as him to choose Alison Moyet to tour with him speaks volumes.

Being able to sing in tune does not mean you have perfect pitch.
If someone plays a ''C'' on a piano and asks a singer to sing that note, if the singer can sing the note, that means they can sing in tune. Or the singer sings along with a band or backing track.

If you are playing golf and someone says sing a ''C'' and you can sing it in tune, that's perfect pitch.
Many wrongly claim to have it, very few do.

Bill Bailey also has perfect pitch. Brilliant comedian, possibly an even better musician. Anyway, useless bit of pub quiz information, back to the argument...

Your right Chris I would never criticize anyone’s music taste.

Oh wait a minute the exception being The Eagles??

 

[ColchesterFC]

It could have chosen anywhere, office, jungle, football pitch anywhere where you don't have access to a reference note to copy.
I only picked a golf course because (a) this is a golf forum (b) you don't get many pianos on a golf course. Unless Chrisd brings his

To be fair, you generally don't get too many pianos on a football pitch or in the jungle either.

I like my music either curated by a radio DJ or buy the occasional ’best of’ album. The likelihood that an artist has written 15 good songs in the same year is rather low.
There are probably 6/7 Adele songs I like and the new ones I heard so far are not part of it. Yet.

Has anyone else seen Andy Pearson’s routine which explained an Adele album?

Someone put me out of my misery; I'm trying to think of a top artist whose back catalogue is based almost exclusively on happy songs. The more I look at, the more of them seem to come from some degree of unhappiness.

So come on, who is it that is counteracting the Adele effect?
