Get yer earplugs out….

[Fab Foodie]

There's worse.

Steps have reformed and have brought out a new album.

At least it will be unfailingly jolly and rapidly sink into obscurity.
Adele songs hang about like radioactive material….

 

[Fab Foodie]

I thought that was the Bee Gees.

TMN to me….

No really my cup of tea, but she does have some talent, its just she's getting a bit samey and morose.

Florence was more to my taste in the powerful female singer genre

Being an old fart nudging 60, I often get accused of being out of touch with modern music...you know...for the 'yoof' of now. But it seems to me that technology like auto-tune has allowed, shall we say, fairly mediocre talent to rise to the top. Back in the day, they'd maybe have an album out and then fade to obscurity. And we've had 10001 formula boy/girl bands put together by middle-aged blokes via 'talent' shows in which the populist vote always favours similar sounding acts who look pretty/handsome & harmonise while doing the same cheesy dance routines. Plus, just whats this with nasal whining whilst attempting to engage in oral sex with the microphone?.

So I find it quite amusing that some other even older farts from the 70's...in their 70's...Abba...come back out of the blue with songs that wash the decks with modern talent. I like to watch 'reaction videos' to old music on YT (yes...some of them are fake) and it's heartwarming to see today's youth discover bands like Queen and they can't quite believe in Freddy's vocal range. No auto-tune then kids, its called singing.

Oh dear....she murdered that Bond theme...Skyfawwwwwwl...or was it ...Skywaaaaaaaawl ?...more like Sky-awful.

Or, to put it another way, she did her best with a truly naff song.

I agree with the sentiment, but surely you aren't suggesting Adele needs auto tune? I think she was / is so popular as she was quite the antithesis of that genre.

I think you’ll find that was the Bee Gees….

Steps covered it in 1998. It was their biggest hit.

One think Adele doesn't need and thats autocue. She's a classic, powerful, natural singer.
Not my cup of tea but there's no denying her talent.

Armenia, this one?

its fairly .... awful

Yep, quite a disappointment, when I heard his name I thought maybe finally there would be a reasonably good song in Eurovision, then I heard the song ...

Absolutely, a fine instrument no doubt. And clearly popular (unfortunately)...makes Leonard Cohen seem happy.
