This guy has some good stuff on his channel when I have the time to glance his videos.
He explains the success behind Adele, is it some big secret? Not really. She's just smart.
 
I'll tell you why her shit is in demand, When she sings, she is convincing !! That's all. I Luv Her !!
 
I liked her older stuff , this new song hello seems a rehash of old stuff

Hello from the other ssssssiiiiiiiiiide
I must've called a thousand tiiiiiiimes
 
If Adele sells 3.38 million Albums, how much do you think goes directly to her? This conversation came up and lots of people said you would be surprised how many other people take a big chunk out of the sales revenue.

So 3.38 Million X $10 approx. per album = $33.8 million. Do you think Adele get at least 25% of that figure? Record company/label, managers, producers, etc get a cut too, but what are the approximate %'s??
 
What does this say about our society..she uses the standard recipe for writing songs that make hits such as about unrequited love, he broke my heart and done me wrong, he cheated on me, how could he, I gave him my all, and now I can never forget him while he don't even know I exist, in addition to her having the "average" GND looks that many can relate too.

This is the reason why I stay away from her stuff, it feels contrived to make them hits.

Why don't we have any more great love songs like from the 90s and before....guess real love taboo and the unrequited love and/or broken love is the norm...
 
Not sure what the guy is talking about. Taylor Swift sold 5 million of her last album in the US alone. She also puts out half decent obviously contrived boy-meets-girl love pop songs all in order to sell tons of albums. The only difference between the two is that one sings ballads, the other teen-friendly pop songs.

Exactly.

She has an awesome voice. A true talent. (I love her look too).

(If anyone has seen that skit with the new Tonight Show host, she sings it raw, no recording studio effects).

LOS ANGELES -- Adele's new album "25" has sold 3.38 million copies in its first week, smashing single week sales records, according to Nielsen Music.

As reported by Billboard, "25" is the first album to sell more than 3 million copies in one week in Nielsen's history, which has been tracking first week purchases since 1991. The previous record was held by 'NSYNC whose 2000 album "No Strings Attached" sold 2.4 million copies in its first week.

"25" has also become the bestselling album of the year, flying past the 1.8 million copies sold of Taylor Swift's "1989." Adele did not allow streaming services like Spotify to make "25" available.
Her previous album, "21" has sold 11.24 million copies in the United States.

Depends on her contract. But after her smash success in 2011, I'm sure she was able to negotiate a huge cut of the revenue.

She will also get a significant cut because she co-writes all of her songs.

I know a female that has written and sung hooks for several artists. It's absolutely amazing to me when she receives checks in the thousands from SOCAN.

As one of the top commenters of that video said, "I'm so obsessed with this wtf adele is just sitting there hardly even trying and she's rockin it"
I didn't care to see the official video, so I watched this first, crazy good.

There's something very cool with The Roots playing in the background with a great voice. I'm no huge fan of Fallon, but this was brilliant on his team's part.
 

A far better album Elle King

WTF? That's the singer???

Not what I would picture, ever. I would have imagined an Amy Winehouse type girl or Marilyn Monroe, but not this.
Song sorta ruined now. No thick hate, because Adele is great, but I guess it's because I first saw her, then heard her.
This song was the other way around. Damn. :embarassed:

You're pathetic.

Country is similar..she left me, I miss her, come back ..
 
I must admit that i am not a big fan of hers but she has more talent and is infinitely better that most of the prepackaged, auto tuned, marketing machines that are passed off as musical artists now.

MTV didn't know how right they were to play this as their first song.
