Anyone Else Really Tired of Adele?

[jmattbassplaya]

There's little to no electric guitar in any popular music anymore. What are you getting at?

True story - my band recently got picked up by a producer to come into his studio to record one of our songs under the premise that he'd shop us around (both to the label his own band is on as well as others).

Anyways, my band has a killer guitarist that plays some sick lines in our songs. However, when we went into the studio the first thing our producer said was, "we're cutting down the guitar parts in half and we're going to try and get as much of a synth tone out of them as possible."

The look on my guitarist's face was priceless!

I think she's a good singer - look at all the other crap that's on the radio right now - I'd rather listen to Adele - and I wouldn't turn down the bass gig in her band if offered - would you? I watched that live concert the other night - the cat was holding it down nicely with a P Bass - prolly a great gig.

I like her attitude and she has a great voice. I don't care what she looks like and quite frankly it's nice to see a non-manufactured pop molded artist having a huge run.

Like anything, if too many people like something for whatever reason it becomes the evil " PLEASE GOD MAKE IT GO AWAY!" of the moment (myspace, Fat Boys, any hit from Muse, Dane Cook, deep fried butter, Flo, tap water, Snooki, etc.)

You don't see her as a manufactured product?

The non-manufactured ones are never heard on the radio or seen on the pop charts. You gotta' go underground.

I wouldn't kick her out of bed.

I might kick her out of bed, but I wouldn't let her up off the floor...

I like her singing.
To me she sounds like Billie Holiday, but in tune and with some breath support.

 

[elshunko]

Nope. Can't get sick of her amazing talent.

To be honest I have a hard time liking most music these days especially in the rap, pop and this new indie rock type stuff. It seems there is always something new coming out and someone else blowing up which I get, love or hate them it is just what happens. Evolution and the popular mainstream. I remember when it was all about the Jonas Brothers...now it is Justin Bieber...Jonas who?

 

[mellowinman]

A friend at work told me I'd "love her."

I didn't.

Then I stopped listening.

If I've been hearing any songs by her, I wouldn't know.

Nor would I care.

I don't listen to what they try to force-feed me on the radio and TV.

I am a dinosaur, and one day, I will sink into the La Brea Tar Pits, where my ultimate destiny lies.

I don't know Lady GaGa from Justin Bieber, from Adele.

I barely knew Christine Aguilera, or Buck Cherry.

I discovered torrents, and I have been discovering music I never had from that great era of classic rock as if much of it was new.

I just spent the last week listening to every single album by Nazareth.

Not all of it was great, but they always had great lead vocals.

I think she's a very good singer - I'm not blown away, though. However, it's nice to see and hear a highly successful young female singer who clearly spends more time working on her vocals than working on her dance steps and working out in the gym. Her success is about HER...not some overhyped package.

 

[bassistjoe93]

I like her because she seems to care about musicality on her tracks. She actually has a bass guitar, guitar, organ, drums, etc. However, she is everywhere and if I have to hear "Rumour Has It" one more time, I'll probably throw my radio out of the window. Makes me thankful for my ipod and a tape adapter!

I know what your saying, and agree to a point. However, I strongly believe fitness is an essential foundation(remember Neil Peart riding bicycle from show to show?). And dancing, as another artform, only expands your creative palette...besides being fantastic fitness in itself.

She was packaged and hyped as much as any superstar...regardless of your talent you don't get that popular without being packaged and hyped. The competition for your attention is far too great for anyone to grab that much of it without major league backing. There's too much money involved for someone to be allowed to come up like that without the control of serious management.

Diana Krall is another example of this. Without a heavyweight management company she'd have had a nice career but wouldn't have been anymore popular than say Tierney Sutton or maybe at best Dianne Reeves. Not bad but not a multi-platinum selling superstar.

You actually listen to the radio? I'm not even sure the one in my car works. That said she's OK at least she hires REAL musicians to play with her and she doesn't use autotune.

 

[RaginRog]

That girl can sing...unlike a majority of the new female artists out there that do nothing but lip-sync.

 

[Rocker949]

Not that she is bad at all, in fact, she is pretty good. But her songs never appealed to me too much. My mother likes Adele a lot, though.

For those who are tired of Adele, would you be if you wrote at least one of her hits?

In that case, she would instantly become my favorite person in the entire world. I'm not really trying to be critical of Adele; it's just that I had heard so much about her for a long time. Then, when I finally heard her, it was obvious her genre wasn't exactly something that necessarily appeals to me. It's as simple as that.

Heck, if I had even a a single point of Someone Like You I'd be happy to hear it on my car radio every few minutes. That's retirement kinda dough.

You missed the whole point of my post.

Whether her genre appealed to you or not doesn't/wouldn't/shouldn't matter when you're getting royalty checks from a song that you wrote from a genre you're not into.

Exactly. When people get tired of hearing a song that you wrote that really is an indication of what your checks will look like

I guess you can be tired of her if you want, but the tracks with Pino on bass and Rick Rubin producing are awesome
