Fun fact: that isn't water
 
You can't have a fucking comeback after only one album? She did a single tour, blew her throat out, and went on the mend. The only thing she's coming back from is a bloody vacation!

Such empty dramatics!
 
Fantastic voice. And although she's not my type, it's actually because of her higher weight that she can project her voice so well. A lot of opera singers gain extra weight just for that added boost (something to do with being to take in more air but not sure).

Didn't she end up getting surgery due to some type of pneumonia?
 
Coldplay's first album = Coldplay's best album.

How can someone who's been around for about a year be making a "comeback?"

Coldplay's 1st is claptrap.

She had two CDs in a year?

Read the thread and you'll see how. She had major vocal surgery and is just now returning to singing live. That's called a comeback.
 
I like her voice alot, and a couple of her songs, but as a whole her album was really samey. So.....yay...?

Did you know that occasionally people imply one thing by saying another? The surgery was in the first week of November. It's the first week of February. Calling a return after a two-month break a "comeback" is a histrionic overstatement.
 
Pop Diva GAF scares me even more that MLP GAF.

I like to pretend MLPGaf is an elaborate joke, that nobody here seriously watches the show. Pop Gaf is very really...

Throw me into the group of people saying it's dumb to label this a comeback. I know they're trying to start a hype train, and that it will work. Call it a return to the stage or something, saying it's a comeback implies that she's been inactive for a length of time, which is obviously not true since her last CD is less then a year old.

No actually her potentially losing her voice and then returning to the stage is a comeback.

comeback: rally, rebound, recovery, resurgence, return, revival, triumph
 
17 million copies of 21 sold within one calendar year is unbelievable.

Surely one of the highest selling albums of the past decade.

yea, gotta be. I wonder how long people kept it in their rotation, though. the continual heartbreak theme wore on my like a pair of cheap loafers. After a couple of weeks I was like, "bitch, why don't you just MOVE ON ALREADY."

wtf she's 23?

there's a reason why the album is called "21". and the one before it, "19". ...

because she looks it

lol no. she looks about 25.
 
Most what I know about ADELE I know from gaf, which seems to think she will end up dying like Mama Cass. God damn Ham sandwich!

19, 21. Well you learn something new everyday.
 
Popgaf or whatever it's called is slowly ascending towards early-MLPGAF annoyance.

I don't know. You have to at least come into a related thread to see pop gaf. MLP gaf became a fucking plague in every thread. Which is why I don't believe MLP gaf was as real as it seemed, I think a lot of them were jumping on the bandwagon like it was the meme of the week.
 
Honestly, I thought Adele was pushing 40 when I first saw her.

I thought she was when I heard her voice the first time. In fact, I thought she was 40+ and black. She has a lot of soul in her voice, you know? Then I saw her first in the Rolling In The Deep video. She had a baby face, so I figured she was in her mid 20s.
 

Good lord the last thing LDL should be doing is highlighting her mouth and nose.

Also to everyone complaining about this being a "comeback": She had surgery that could have seriously affected her voice, which is pretty important for a singer, and she was away from live shows for quite a while. So it's not a comeback in the traditional sense, but it is a return in some form to her singing live.
 
One of those phenomenons I'll never understand. I dislike her voice so, so much. She sounds like someone who once upon a time had a decent voice and wreaked it with smoking.
 
Performing for the first time in a few months constitutes as a "triumphant comeback"? What the fuck is wrong with everything

When you're the number one artist in the world and you were forced to cancel shows, yeah, it is. Like her or not, there's nobody bigger ('cept Anne Wilson...I keed!).

She's a fat, chain-smoking diva who's only 23 years old but probably already has Type II diabetes and looks like she's pushing 40.

She should be ashamed, regardless of how talented she is at singing.

Why should she be ashamed? She's living like 90% of British population.

Three months is not "quite a while."
 
good God I hate LDR.

and I thought I hated Adele before coming in here, but she seems pretty awesome from some of those quotes. And hey, a little faith in humanity restored when I girl who isn't some manufactured Barbie can sell so many albums.

She absolutely deserves her success, but her proud attitude about being a fat tub of lard just annoys me. I'd rather a pop star try to emulate Barbie than Miss Piggie.
