You could end this sentence after "seen" and it would mean the same thing. :sip2: So you think I've never been on any website other than this? That makes sense. These Adele trolls sure seem to want to make the conversation about me instead of the artist they are trying to defend. Try showing some receipts instead of providing blanket statements of "everybody else hates Adele except this board." You seem to be the troll sis.

Try showing some receipts instead of providing blanket statements of "everybody else hates Adele except this board." You seem to be the troll sis. Didn't say that. Just said that she received a pretty big wave of hate among general audiences in 2011. Wasn't particularly a specific website. I mean, I was in high school at the time, so I remember a lot of it just from real life. I just remember her being the general butt of a lot of jokes and a name a lot of hipsters would list in their "how bad this generation is" speeches. I already listed Yahoo and Facebook as places where you'd see random "Adele sucks" jokes along side the ones aimed at Bieber, Gaga, or whoever else stood out. I guess I'll add YouTube to the list, as I'm sure there were plenty of mean comments directed at her on there too. You know. The kind of thing you could see aimed at Miley a couple of years later. Didn't say all websites hated her, just said that this is the only place I really see positivism towards Adele at. Other than that, I just don't see her brought up.

That only explains more the point of the OP. Every #1s has a group of people saying "WORST #1 SINCE [insert the day they were born here]".
Literally every popular musician has some people against them. To single out Rolling In The Deep βsorry, I mean Adele is just... not right. You don't like it, so yeah, for you it might be one of the worst hit ever. But please, don't tell us everyone hates Adele but Pulse. Lol. Sorry, that's a high horse you're reaching nickely.
It's not like every Adele to-be fans created a convention in 2003 (?) to create an internet website that will be the sole place for Adele to get praised.
Your argument is invalid. Try again.

Well I guess all that RITD criticism (hate) wasn't too justified seeing how it was the #1 song of 2011 and was the lead single of the highest grossing album of the decade, which lead to her following album to have the highest grossing sales for an album in one week. You don't reach those heights without some critical acclaim.

There's no point in arguing with her about Adele lmao. Been there done that. She usually makes valid points but I can't wrap my head around someone honestly believing that "pulse is the only place I've seen praise for Adele". Ms. Adkins wouldn't have sold 50 million albums in the span of five years if she was truly hated that much. The bias is REAL. OT: Someone Like You or Rolling In the Deep are probably the least hated #1 singles this decade. Just Give Me a Reason, Locked Out of Heaven, When I Was Your Man, or basically any other Hot Adult Contemporary hit that topped the H100 could apply here. They're usually the least polarizing imo

Shading Adele on a music forum is just the most basic trolling. I mean stop taking the obvious bait...

* The four Adele #1s are indistinguishable from one another. * The instrumentals are rudimentary, basic, and quite annoying. "Rolling in the Deep" is an uptempo "Someone Like You" is a piano ballad "Set Fire to the Rain" is a midtempo "Hello" is a massive power ballad You tried it.

Come on, they're indistinguishable when listening to them casually. You can make the same defense towards any artist whose music lacks diversity. Ke$ha, for example. I'm sure you can dissect the differences between "We R Who We R", "TiK ToK", and "Your Love Is My Drug". Doesn't mean that they aren't, on a casual listen, fairly indistinguishable songs that recycle the same musical techniques. That's not to diss Ke$ha, because at least the song that she makes over and over again is enjoyable.

Last time I checked, all three are drudging, skeletal, and/or barely audible piano/violin music hidden behind Dory's whale calling. Just re-listened to the audio of the three tracks on YouTube. Someone Like You is noticeably faster paced than the other two. But there is still little to no diversity between the songs. They rely on the same instruments. They all have a half finished quality to them. And they all exist to hide behind the wailing vocals.

Where is @antigonerising when you need her lol IDK or care whether you like Nikki or not, a bitch needs to be shut down :sip2: Ch., what you want me to say? Casually listening or otherwise, if someone literally can't hear the difference between a piano-only ballad with no bgvs and a driven midtempo with a bass guitar, lead guitar, snare drum, bass drum, tambourine, background vocalist sounding like a choir on multiple harmonic parts AND an a cappella breakdown on the bridge with freaking soul hand claps! *breathes* then I really don't know what you think I can tell that someone other than to recommend some q-tips and/or an increased dosage in their Ritalin. I got no time for these attention-deficient children, ok? Also I googled for these Dory memes and found nothing so some receipts for this spurious claim would be greatly appreciated. Honestly nothing more needed to be said after she said "when I was in high school..." yeah sorry sis but I'm pulling the 'get off my lawn' old card today because I just cannot and will not take your then-15-year old classmates trading in jokes on social media accounts with 178 followers seriously. I will say that this affirmed to me that Nikki is probably not really trolling that hard because if there is anything high schoolers are eternally guilty of it's of believing that whatever is happening in their own little bubble is at all reflective of the world at large, then accusing other people of the same delusion. Y'all could have easily trolled her right back by asking her what the difference is between that one Young Thug song where he's high off that purp, that other Young Thug song where he's high off that purp, and that one Usher song where he does his best Young Thug imitation before allowing YT on the track to get high off some more of that purp, but naw, y'all wanted to be basic af and just get upset and defensive. That is not fun at all! ya bunch of lames.

Going back and reading the first couple of pages of the thread before it disintegrated into a one-woman war against Adele, I'm genuinely surprised no one started naming all of the #1s from the 50s and 60s...can't criticize what we're not familiar with.

I was going to snarkily answer "Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu" before I saw the fuckery going on with We Are the World, Adele, and Harlem Shake.

Girl you've been spitting this bullsh!t rhetoric on different forums trying to gain an army of people to hate Adele as much as you do. Not really. This is the only website I've ever seen somebody praise Adele on. This and the disqus thingy on Billboard, which is really just the same group of people. You normally make such great points with your posts but whenever the discussion of Adele comes up, you pull a complete 180. It's like you're laughably trolling and you're seeing how long you can pull it off for and how many people you can wrangle in. I'm still not sure I can take it seriously lol.
