Well, you do see those stories about giant 12lb babies.  I'm prepared to bet they start fat and just get fatter.Probably doesn't apply to Adele though....

Every time I start my laptop it plays 'Someone Like You'.

Mind you, it's a Dell....

Whey hey!

What happened to this Adele?

Wow - never seen that before.

I guess the answer is she got older and became very famous indeed.

I have to say, I like her. She strikes me as a genuine talent - and very down to earth. Had she turned up on the X Factor, I doubt she'd have made 'Judges' Houses' - purely on image.

Occasionally someone breaks through because they're genuinely good....

If she was a bloke, wouldn't she just be classed as arrogant?

Look at Prince's lyrics for a masterclass in arrogance

I know that living with me baby was sometimes hard

But I'm willing to give it another try

Oh that's nice of you, mate

Arrogant isn't the first words that crop up when thinking of Prince. 'Immensely talented and crazy little purple pixie' do.

More like a major label got hold of her

She wasn't very down to earth at the Brits when she gave everyone the fingers after her speech was cut short.

what would be a down to earth thing to do in that situation?

I think her songs are bit hit and miss, and although the new one is good, it's a bit too obviously "big and dramatic" for me ... but you can't argue with her voice on it, it's just stunning.

I found out last week that Someone Like You was co-written by Dan Wilson the frontman/songwriter from Semisonic. Poptastic factoid.

Other poptastic factoid - "Chasing Pavements" was written with Eg White, former member of Brother Beyond and now pop producer to the stars - and incidentally the creator of one of my favourite ever albums, 24 Years Of Hunger by Eg & Alice.

That was a great record - I have it on vinyl (in the loft unfortunately).

Love this from it:

All this thread needs now is someone telling us that Adele is a Total Phoney.

That she chose a small label because it was the cynical tactic of a Total Phoney.
That she put on weight to fool punters who might think she was a Total Phoney.
That she avoided all media training as part of the Total Phoney masterplan.

Why are you jumping to her defense so hard?

Did you date her? And did she cut your knob off and rename you Reek?

This numerical thing on naming her albums- is that her age or weight in stone ?

There was somebody being interviewed on Radio 2 this morning with the most annoying speaking voice. Turned out to be Adele. Her singing voice seems to bear no resemblance, maybe not my kind of thing but she does it well. Although her Bond theme remains shit (if actually fantastic compared to the Sam Smith one). Yes, she is 27 but the songs were written at 25. Anyway, that's my dose of her until she releases 30 at 32.

This is precisely why you have such little success with women.

You're all hating on Adele because you're mad jealous she's making money from music and doing what she loves.

Her wealth in billions.

Hello. I love it.

Pretty much what you'd expect from her, thing is she does it really well. I wouldnt buy her albums and I dont mind her music, great voice, gets emotions across as well.
 Take the piss out of her all you want, I think its great that someone young, talented and English kicks arse around the world.

Rarely hear people taking the piss out of BB King for being fat
