Sorry Asherah, but you know there must be a dissenting voice...*chucklin*
After hearing Rolling in the Deep and Someone like you  6000 times EACH and seems as if they'll never stop playing them, I simply can't stand to hear her sing anymore.
On top of that, I find her unattractive without makeup and only marginally so with it.

I just can't get enough of Adele's voice, even after I heared "Rolling in the Deep and Someone Like You" 6000 times each.

I LOVE her cover of a Steeldriver's song "If it Hadn't been for love." The Steeldrivers are just an awesome, modern bluegrass/country, kinda of eclectic band. Check it out

I don't understand why some people's perception of music is that the musicians have to be attractive.

One of the big things I like about the heavy metal genre, is that it is about the music. Who cares what they look like.

I love those songs.  And she does have an amazing voice.  But, I also like the video for Rolling in the Deep.  I mean, it would seem counterintuitive to me for a singer to be sitting down all through a music video--normally, they're dancing all around and stuff.  But, the way she did it just felt perfect.  The samurai was really cool too.  (Although, I didn't get the glasses of water or the pile of broken dishes, but it was still cool.)

The "argument" here is that with HM music, you're not necessarily watching the performer as much as one might be shaking their head up and down with one hand up...whereas with the likes of Adele (which I'm not a huge fan of anyway) it's more the norm to be starring at the performer.  IMHO anyway.  I grew up on 80's HM...or rock.  My #1 band is Van Halen.  Now if Adele and Dave got together for a song...heh.

I think that's death metal, which I have heard is a different genre of hard rock.

After some consideration I fixed it for you, DJ.  ;D

And I'm a fan of Adele's, too. Man does her voice have power! Even after hearing 'Someone Like You' 4,000 times, I don't get tired of it.

The nature of his smile may indicate that is the case.

Can you imaging how he felt after he saw it? I've no doubt anybody who knew him would point it out  ;D

Actually, I imagine his reaction would lean less towards embarassment and more toward "hell yeah!"  :D

The modern pop music industry plays it safe by making banal songs about love, sex, drama, emotions, money, power, politics, drugs, alcohol, foods, vehicles, other commercialized products, etc. for profit. Adele is wanting the money, so she chose the easy way to get wealthy. So, she makes pop songs about unoriginal themes for money while being a beautiful clown most of the time. Because beauty attracts more people willing to pay money for music. Rarely does she ever make personal songs that have lyrical depth. Her "30" album is one of those rare times she has become personal musically. Otherwise, she makes safe and dumbed down songs that are suited for the masses because they do not require much vocabulary, critical thinking, and high intelligence to understand them. She is musically talented. But I have had better music-listening experiences from intellectual music artists rather than pop music "artists" making songs for survival money, not intellectually stimulating art.
