Adele

[lea1977]

Setting up a Vegas residency. Not surprised at all, she has probably travelled everywhere and with her son in school it makes sense.

I think she's great live. Amazing singer but her personality is delightful. I would definitely go to Vegas to see her but I'm saving for a trip to HI.

Add me to the chorus of I Don't Get Her Appeals. She is, in my opinion, the blandest so-called blue-eyed soul singer ever, and sorry, but where is the soul? I don't see it. Chop.

[hellsbells]

I agree. I think she's kind of boring and don't get it. (She's no Celine.)

[Deleted]

Speaking of Celine does she still have her Las Vegas residency, aren’t Adele and Celine big fans of each other

I don’t know if they could pop in to each other’s show occasionally

Oh see, I prefer Adele to Celine. I saw Adele in concert and she is a lot of fun. And her voice sounds great live.

I believe Celine had to cancel her residency due to some kind of illness.

I vastly prefer Adele to Celine, I really enjoy Adele's personality and prefer her voice as well. She does seem a bit less wacky than she used to be, her earliest interviews are a hoot.

I respect Celine tremendously for everything that she has accomplished over such a long career, and her voice is unparalleled. I do generally prefer Adele’s music as between the two (but that may be just because I am most familiar with Adele’s songs).

And because I unfairly maligned Adele upthread about the “shuffle tracks” issue, I feel compelled to say something extra nice about her: she appeared on NikkieTutorials’ YouTube channel today to do a “Power of Makeup” segment, and it was delightful. If you have a half hour to kill, it is worth a watch. (Adele appeared without any makeup, then Nikkie did just half of Adele’s face in full glam makeup to show the difference.) Adele looks so young and fresh-faced without any makeup: she really looked great. And she really does have a fun personality: she doesn’t come across as phony or anything like that.

I don't get her appeal. To me she's just another White female singer with a big voice. If she were Black, no one would care about her.

Preach! I am biased because I still love Amy Winehouse (may her memory be a blessing), and Adele was kind of in the mix of the Amy clones that came out in Amy's wake (Joss Stone, Duffy, etc.), so I always found her music a wan imitation of better "blue-eyed" soul singer (Dusty Springfield, R.I.P.), although it was nice to have a full-figured woman be a big star in pop music. “Rolling in the Deep”, however, is a really good karaoke song choice!
