So I downloaded her album, and I think it's good, but there are some songs I can barely finish listening too. I think it's awesome that people are embracing someone who isn't a sex symbol and who can actually sing, but I don't think she's as great as people are making her out to be, at least not her music. Maybe if I listen to her more, my opinion will change, but that's how I feel at the moment.

Talent-wise? No.
Musically? Yes. Well I guess quality is subject, so no.

No. She deserves the credit she gets, plain and simple.

No, I think she's great and has a voice that radio has been waiting to hear.

She's refreshing and her voice is amazing. Is SHE overrated? Eh. I wouldn't say that. Is "21" overrated? Um. Yes. The album is boring, with the exception of a few songs.

Nope! 21 is immaculate, as was 19. Adele deserves all the success she's garnering because she's a remarkable vocalist and songwriter.

No. She's a great talent, and she deserves the praise and success she has received.

Yes. There's no question that she's talented, but she and 21 are treated like legends by some of the pulse posters.

I understand not all Gaga fans act like she's a legend and the BEST THING SINCE EVER, but neither do all the Adele fans. In that case, would you consider Gaga overrated? |

She has a nice voice with a great, smoky tone, I'll give her that. That said, her interpretive and songwriting skills are most average, though you sure can't tell from the comments about her. I think the decision to market her as this slightly dowdy lady with a big voice is genius, as that's the kind of image people want to root for, and thus effectively dismissing her obvious shortcomings. So in that sense (actuality failing to match the hype), I dare say that yes, she is overrated.

I have to say yes. Someone at work played 21 for me the other day, and after hearing so much about it, I was underwhelmed. I actually found it to be quite boring.

Every artist regularly discussed on Pulse is vastly overrated.

Well, I think all of her praise is well deserved, and the 21 album is fantastic, but I do think 21 is a tad overrated. 19 definitely is, but 21 is a good album that deserves success, but I would say their are albums that deserved what 21 is getting that flopped big time. Don't get me wrong, I love the 21 album, but it's not an album I'd want to listen to all the time.

If anything, Rolling in the Deep is overrated...or overplayed. I don't think Adele herself is overrated at all. It's refreshing to hear some real talent, as opposed to studio trickery, and programmed dance beats and vocals drenched in autotune and various other effects.

If every other artist was making music like her, would she be as successful? |

I wish her eras would have been flipped. I don't think she's overrated when it comes to her talent. But, 19 was CLEARLY the stronger album and should have seen the success 21 is having.

Yes, immensely. I feel that people are giving her praise simply for not doing electronic music, which is the trend now. Does it make her different from most in the limelight? Yes. Does it make her better better by default? No.

I can only listen to one or two tracks from Adele because her voice grates on my nerves after a couple of songs...especially with this album. Wither her previous effort I didn't have that problem. |

Because we all know no other female artist on Pulse is treated like a legend, right? Obviously there are others, but Adele hasn't done nearly as much as Kelly/ Beyonce/ etc. to be so hyped like this on pulse. In response to this: I always find post like this odd coming from Lady Gaga fans. I understand not all Gaga fans act like she's a legend and the BEST THING SINCE EVER, but neither do all the Adele fans. In that case, would you consider Gaga overrated? Yes I do think Lady Gaga is overrated, but she's still my favorite artist and I love everything she does and I'm also a big fan of other artists as well. |
