I am sick of Adele

Sick of Adele? Well, as they say, everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I’ve been very blessed and had the good fortune to experience live performances by Carmen McRae, Nancy Wilson, Diane Reeves, Diana Krall, and Cassandra Wilson. So what? Each time I came away with feelings of having witnessed great talent – each in her own unique way. After Adele’s appearance as musical quest on SNL this past weekend, I decided to check out her video of “Hello” via cable on demand. Prior to that, I really hadn’t paid much attention to Adele; but found myself thinking, “wow, this woman is incredibly talented”. IMHO she has a true gift that cannot be dubbed, engineered, or otherwise enhanced like so much of what is passed off as music these days.

BTW, plus one regarding Amy Winehouse … thanks Mapman for pointing that out. My brother-in-law turned me on to her music and a bit about Amy’s tragic end. What a tremendous loss.

I'm a big fan of her work.....it had me the first time I heard it. It was early June 2011.

Ditto with the Amy Winehouse.

I think she has great voice. She seems to sing with an authentic sincerity. Compelling. Ditto on the Winehouse comments!

She's okay: as in, a friend of mine was raving about her when her second recording came out, so I bought both of them and then listened. My thought was, "okay..."

She's really pretty good, but I could only damn her with faint praise. Sometimes, I just ask myself if I'm perhaps not in the right frame of mind for a certain artist or type of music. I'll try again, but I don't think she'll ever make heavy rotation in my system.

People are hating on her and I don't think that's quite fair.
Would really like an album of covers as those are my favorite Adele songs.
