Someone Like You
Now I thought this was an interesting choice. Gazillion selling soul-pop juggernaut Adele? 'Someone Like You'? Have I gone mad? Well I can officially say I won't be a part of this. I will not be one of the 1203489028484590 people who bought '21' and I would love to say I won't be listening to her music, but radio just won't allow that to happen and so it must be endured.
So what has this lovely woman done to inspire such hatred from me? I have no problem with Adele personally, infact in all interviews I've seen she has come across as bloody hilarious and I'm sure she'd be a right laugh. But these songs. These overplayed, mediocre songs. 'Someone Like You' is the worst offender. The rest range from average to average but this, this one really bugs me. Sappy, cliched lyrics attempting profundity. A million and one ridiculous facebook statuses from teenage girls claiming to relate to these vague sentiments. In my opinion, this is heartbreak ballad 101. Nothing special on offer here whatsoever, besides perhaps, the vocals. If you like her voice. Which I don't.
You see, to my ears Adele does not sing, she hoots. My word, that hooting is annoying.
