CazGirl Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Some of you may have probably seen her on The Brits. Some of you may have heard her fantastic song "Chasing Pavements". This is her MySpace: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=7032442 I think she has a really intriguing, interesting voice and I really like her music. I may just get her album. Go and have a listen to her songs - and don't forget to respond! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkunicorn123 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Definately intriguing. I first head that song on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross (ooo that reminds me, must go see whos on tonight). Its a great song, but having seen her 'live personality' at the brits im not too sure. She seems (at risk of sounding cruel) rather common, nervous and standard. I will be very interested to see what her next moves are in terms of here career.

hjbsrbab@hbibby.orangehom Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hi I think Adele's great, she has such a great voice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx_emily_x Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 yeah, she does have a good voice.. i bought her album, after listening to her songs on myspace. the album is really good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishrose Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hmmm...she's got a sweet sound, and I like her lyrics, but she needs to solidify herself. She sounds kind of like a newbie. I like her music, though. Her voice (not her music) sounds like a mix of Amy Winehouse and...someone else, I can't put my finger on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoots14 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I really like Adele... she's got a great voice and some interesting songs. Going to see Adele tomorrow with Christine, her friend, and closetmikafan! I was going to try to go with you guys but I don't think I'm going to be able to. Hopefully she'll come back again later this year. Have a great time! Ps - I'm curious to hear about that venue too. It seems odd... it's a seated venue but the tickets were general admission!

Weirdest thing...I went to the Danforth Music Hall last Friday and it was the same situation! We just walked in and sat wherever we wanted like it was a movie theatre.

zoots14 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Just got back from the Adele concert... I am so glad I went! I had a really great time with Suzy, ClosetMikaFan, Christine, and Christine's friend. Adele was absolutely fantastic. She is such an amazing talent, and has a huge career ahead of her. Her voice is beautiful... and she started with my favourite song of hers - Right as Rain! This girl is seriously talented. I feel lucky to have seen her so early in her career. It was the first concert after this venue had some renovations and reopened, so they actually had it catered, and served lots of really delicious hors d'oeuvres... they probably spent more on that than we spent on the $16 tickets. Suzy did some smooth talking with one of the ushers and got us to the front of a line that no one knew about at that point, so when the doors finally opened ClosetMikaFan was able to sprint into the theatre and get us seats in the 6th row. We would have been closer, but I kind of got in his way at the starting gate. We then spent some time in a restaurant eating entirely too much dessert, corrupting Christine's friend by explaining what MILF and GILF stand for, and debating the merits (or not) of early Bon Jovi. All in all a lovely evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Maaa" Thank you for a fabulous birthday pressie Christine! I am now so looking forward to the Ting Tings in 8 days. Your birthday present Christine:wink2:...(although I still have to pay you back for mine too) Have I already mentioned that Adele is sooooo talented?!

Christine Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 This woman's voice is mind-blowingly amazing. Now I finally understand the the initial Amy Winehouse comparisons. The hairs on my arms stood up for most of the concert. Her tone is so rich and smooth and absolutely 100% pitch perfect. Somehow better than the album even though her voice on the album is flawless. She is simply the best singer I've ever had a chance to hear live and I cannot even fathom that she could be only 20 years old. Loved, loved, loved her. And as always I had lots of my fun with my fellow MFCers. Thanks for a great night! Next up...Ting Tings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoots14 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Check out this blog post from Adele's myspace (below). She also has another post that she keeps updating, with pictures and videos from her tour as she goes along. ("so we arrived in vancouver on sunday 25th and saw a woman just dancing at 7am at the bus stop! it was a lovely city, never seen so many crack heads!") I wish Mika would do posts like this every now and then - without us having to beg. Anyway, here it is... Wednesday, June 04, 2008 hey home. morning! im sitting in a car park for trucks in between minneapolis and ann arbor and am feeling very homesick. i miss my mum and my friend brett and clyde obama just won the democratic vote which is good news, but my last pg tip just ripped which is not! the tours going amazingly over here across the pond, am meeting lots of lovely people and the shows are going great. san francisco is beautiful and i love chicago too. plus the proper lemonade!! i keep getting flooded with memories of the UK tour and remembering how much fun i had and how good it was to finally get out and come play for you lot. thankyou so much for that, doing another one in october and i cant ****ing wait! im a bad flier so we're driving everywhere and with that ive had a lot of time to think. im only just starting to realise whats happened in these 6 months, and my throat keeps getting heavy with astonishment. i havent had a chance to notice the scale of whats going on, until now. things just sort of went in one ear and out the other, and so much stuff happened so quickly i didnt know how to react to any of it. i sing cause its the only thing i like to do and im sooo grateful that other people like it too, despite how some people think im not. maybe it seems like im not cause i dont just sit, smile and gush about it all. and cause i dont have an exaggerated story that makes it sound like ive been working my whole life towards this, and therefore deserve it more, cause i went to the school of hard knocks and been 'writing' my own songs to get me through it ever since! pah!! [Zoots' comment: hmm, who could she be referring to here?! ] im just 20, i was hoping for the best in anything. i werent expecting all this! it all keeps exceeding my expectations again and again. so i hope those pokers and pickers forgive me for not being the above, but im not being told how i should be perceived. if im ****tin myself i frown i dont smile! anyway... we got to this car park a few hours ago for dinner but i quickly skipped it and had a milkshake instead. the restaurant was like something out of chainsaw masacre. the chicken was black, now the boys have all got the ****s! ha! i bought a wicked coat in portland, its a real winter one! im really looking forward to coming home and going to some festivals and filling up my ears with the sounds of santogold and sam sparro. im not playing at any of them cause im truly petrified of them! i bought my little god sister sarah a beautiful dress in chicago. my mums coming out to meet me in new york so she'll be a little bit of home till im back in another 2 and a bit weeks. my bass player toms come along for the ride even though hes only playing at a few shows, cause im doing most of them acoustic. and when i played in chicago the other night, so was erykah badu and he got to go and watch her from the side of the stage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeedddooooooooooooooooooooooooooffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff got a day off tomorrow, gonna go see indiana jones with charlie. anyway just wanted to say hello, share some stuff and have a bit of moan!! im sure ill see some of you in a field somewhere with some cider over the summer! look forward to it! adele xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard before that she's amazing live. And the Ting Tings? Sigh. And you say nothing ever happens in Toronto. cause i dont have an exaggerated story that makes it sound like ive been working my whole life towards this, and therefore deserve it more, cause i went to the school of hard knocks and been 'writing' my own songs to get me through it ever since! pah Someone certainly has an ax to grind!
