Absolutely i'd love to hear set the fire to the rain on the radio i think it would be a smash.
Obviously you never know this for sure but set the fire to the rain is such an amazing song.

I have never been a "stan" or avid follow of ANY artist. I have also never been interested in listening to anything but studio versions of artists' songs. I have bought 19, 21, the iTunes live from SoHo, and bought all of her videos. I can NOT get enough from her. Finally - - we are paying attention and giving tribute to an artist who is an ARTIST. She is the real deal. A legend in the making.

Set Fire To The Rain gives me goosebumps, the chorus is epic!!!!!
Favorite tracks so far...(in no particular order):
Rolling In The Deep - its infectious Rumor Has it - so unexpected Turning Tables - soulful Set Fire To The Rain - a masterpiece, epic! :o One And Only - love it! Love Song - beautiful cover! Someone Like You - omg, so beautiful!
The album gives me so many feelings, its simply timeless.

Wow Billboard is projecting an even higher debut. Industry prognosticators suggest that the singer's sophomore effort may sell as many as 275,000 to 300,000 copies

But I won't go, I can't do it on my own, If this ain't love, then what is? I'm willing to take the risk, I won't go, I can't do it on my own, If this ain't love, then what is? I'm willing to take the risk
JAM!!!
Damn, I'm in love with this song. The intro is sick! Then it slides into the melancholic verse and you think it's gonna be a slow groove but then pounds into that bombastic chorus! I love the stripped down R&B funk vibe.

I saw the interview where she talks about this song. It's about her experience dealing with a couple where the guy was an addict. So she wrote this in the perspective of what if she was in the same situation.

I finally got my actual copy of 21! I've been out of town a couple days or I would've gotten it Tuesday. Luckily there was still 1 deluxe copy left. I am sooooooo excited that this is one of those times when an amazing album also has amazing sales.

So she wrote this in the perspective of what if she was in the same situation. That's really puts the song in context, now that I think about it. I love the song's structure. I love how it builds to a slight faux wall of sound by the time it hits the bridge, then it reverts back to the guitars and drums for drums. One thing I noticed about her productions is that her bridges tend to have a lot of contrast to most of the other parts of the song's structure. The best example I can think of is "Tired" from 19. It's quite refreshing to see such contrasting musical breaks in the same song.

The year just started and 21 is already a contender for AOTY. Adele is queen, really. The booklet with the handwritten lyrics is pretty awesome too, especially since sometimes I can't understand her lyrics, LOL.

It's so refreshing to see a talented female artist achieve success like this. I just wish it would happen more often.

She totally deserves this number one album. Great album, great single. I hope "Rolling In The Deep" is a big hit for her. "Someone Like you" is also great.

The independent chain in New England (it's called Newbury Comics) sold the CD for $9.99 and they gave a handwritten lyric booklet with the purchase. The booklet is the size of a 45 vinyl single. Pretty awesome because it appears to be in Adele's chicken scratch. Newbury Comics does lots of little nice things like that as a treat for people who support indie record stores. I have gotten 45 vinyl singles and b-sides with purchases before.

Great performances from Adele once again!! And aww that was a nice little message ^^ Itunes Update: Rolling In The Deep #2! - Damn it Gaga, Let her get #1! Someone Like You - #28 Set Fire To The Rain #65 Chasing Pavements #98 Make You Feel My Love #115 Lovesong #139 One And Only #181 Turning Tables #187 Rumour Has It #200 21 #1 19 #4 Going really well still! Adele is VERY CLOSE to overtaking Gaga. I hope that happens in the next day or so. Then she stays #1 for a week.

'Someone Like You' never fails to give me chills. The lyrics, the simple piano background, and that woeful, fragile vocal KILL me. A+++++++
