Adele ...

[Fab Foodie]

I'm sure she's stalking me. Whenever I turn on the CD player or the radio she's whining away.
Now I like her style of singing, and I like the type of songs she sings, she's hugely talented but I just can't abide her voice, I mean really cannot abide listening to her..
Others rave about her and she's definately the star of the moment.

What d'you lot reckon?

I have the same kind opinion about lady Ga-Ga. All over the music channels.

Please go away and take your 'Poker face' with you.

 

[potsy]

Not the sort of thing I'd choose to listen to, but , whenever her songs are on the radio I find myself singing along to them.
Now her talking voice on the other hand

 

[Adasta]

She's a great singer and that's a very rare thing these days. I'm not her biggest fan but she does have some good songs and this performance is an absolute belter.

Ah, now Gaga. She's not a good singer at all. And I'd question her creativity. She's just the creation of a producer. She might play the piano well, but she was just fortunate to be picked to fill the role that any one of thousands of affluent, private school-educated young women could have filled.

Now Gaga I like, was impressed watching her live performance on the tellybox the other night.

You see, this is where I beg to differ, I bloody hate that screechy whiney noise.

Gaga can sing bloody well - I didn't know this until her radio 1 big weekend performance where she did some jazz stuff.

I like Adele, but she definately has a bit of that smokers voice about her

Also doesn't gaga write her own stuff?

She (Adele) doesn't do it for me either.

 

[Andy in Sig]

Never heard of her before so I just had a look at Adasta's link. She's obviously competent at what she does but unfortunately that sort of song has been done a zillion times before, usually by the tedious Elton John. I tend to agree with FF's verdict of her. That said, she perhaps has the potential to have a decent bluesy-rock sort of voice but if she sticks to MOR pap then she definitely won't be on my listening agenda.

cool singer

Unsuitable for (late) morning listening, I'll give her a try in the evening.

I think she is great. So much better than most of the tripe around at the moment. I have both her albums and never tire of them. Fav song has to be this

. I think she has a beautiful soulful voice and with how popular she has been I know I am not alone.

I'd like to see them get their vocal chords around Bacharach's back catalogue... the true test of a good singer.

in fairness, Adele did do a fine job at the electric proms singing with Burt, but none of his 'guests' were a patch on the 'unknown' singers in his band.

If you asked her she'd say yes. The truth is that when the producer who'd found a gap in the market picked her from the many to fill it, he didn't like her own stuff and made her change it.

She's no more a songwriter than Jordan is an autobiographer.

so if he made her change it, it's still her 'stuff'.

Even the Beatles wouldn't have been half the band they where without a few helpful hints from their producer... drop this, try that, that's the producers job.
