I don't see the big deal about Adele.

Thank you, Huntress. Why is he doing this? Is he mentally ill?

No, truthfully, BBW is extremely intelligent.

In fact, I'd say he's probably one of the smartest people on this forum. BUT, he uses his intelligence for evil, instead of good. lol To be honest with you, I think he's so easily bored by the status quo, this is his method of shaking things up a bit and making it more interesting. Sometimes, when you're that intelligent, you're capable of very strange things.

He is actually extremely likable (I've skyped with him before), and I'd say he's spot on when it comes to his assessments of people and situations (when he's being serious, rather that silly/gross, etc). But, sometimes he takes it too far.

Well in my case, he may have taken the negative assessments of me to heart, because he was more polite and (accurate) to me to begin with. Then when the hazing began later on, he started in with the nastiness (after my hiatus - I thought it was just him, that he had changed, but maybe it was because of the hazing towards me - although I had had a hazing initially, although not quite as bad, = now looking back I can see why people might have reacted how they did.). I thought he was going through something to cause him to go through a personality shift, and that he was going through a substance abuse issue perhaps. I still think that might be the case. There is no reason to believe why engaging with an artistic woman in sensitive or erotic discussions would lead to gross/disgusting topics on ANY level. This is disturbing to me and suggests that BBW needs some counseling.

I have no doubt, that, as you say, he is extremely intelligent.
 
:heart: I love you too, Huntress! But Saint dared me to do it!

Um.

I love you, BBW...but, there's no reason for this.

:vom:

Even if you put me on ignore, you won't escape the floodgates. You'll open Pandora's Box and believe me, there would be a wellspring of thoughts and images rummaging through my head about you. :) Dare do it?

And honestly, I could care less who finds me revolting. :) I've learned

Ok. Do you really want me to put your ass on ignore? It will be a first for me on this site. All of that is your own sick mind's invention and I will have none of it. Keep it up, Brother, and you will have NO FRIENDS. You used to have some keen insight but now you are just annoying... and frankly, disgusting.

Madam Huntress...you're hit the nail on the head. Saintaugusta claims to be the artistic type. But the ones I know personally who specializes in fine arts and all that jazz, they find me rather intoxicating! So I don't know where she thinks I'll be a deadly pariah.

If you REALLY think I have a negative view of you, then you're dead wrong. I still value your presence here beyond reasonable doubt. Despite the vast number of people on here who do find you annoying, I on the other hand see you as a welcoming individual with a lot of spunk and...strangeness as well. Nothing's wrong with being a bit more abrasive, although you DO venture into deadly territory of poor statements and judgment especially when you're pissed off over romance and betrayal. Nevertheless, you're like that insane cousin I wouldn't mind having cold ice tea with on a winter's eve.

Saint, I have no qualms against you, seeing that I'm an artistic person myself. You really need to assess your statements about me and not simply view me as merely sick and revolting. We rarely communicate, and we don't do it off of here. Perhaps you should rethink your ways.

Ok - let's reconvene at a later time then. In the meantime, review some G. Love & Special Sauce on YouTube for homework lol.
 
I'm the first to admit that I'm no music aficionado, I have very eclectic tastes.

But I seriously don't get why everyone is slobbering all over Adele.

That "Rolling in the Deep" song, I can't stand. And whilst I don't like slow songs most days, that "Someone Like You" is starting to grow on me...but I still don't understand why so many people are gaga over this singer.

I don't find her voice to be soothing at all (in fact I'm not fond in any way of scratchy voices and her voice is too "I smoke way too much" scratchy to me), and she tries to hit higher notes and doesn't quite make it (like in that "Someone Like You" song).

I don't know. There are rarely any universals when it comes to music (as in movies) because tastes are so subjective, so if someone doesn't get why a singer/band is so popular when others worship the ground that (s)he/they walk on....it shouldn't matter to anyone.

I will also go on record as saying I absolutely LOATHE the Dave Matthews Band (sorry DMBLOVE!!). I can't stand his voice. I can tolerate "Crash" and that's it.

Carry on with your discussion of music. I just wanted to add my opinion on this topic because I felt like it. And I finally found an outlet to express my thoughts on Adele. LOL. :D
 
OK My first post here. I am 23 year old Black Man from Texas. My name is Johnson( yea that is my real first name). Yes i love white women, hope to marry one one-day
============================

I think Adele is a very good singer, but she is def overrated because she is white


Before you jump on my case of me being a racist here me out, Adele is a great singer( very good actually). But what makes different from any other black female singer in the 40's and 50's who were discriminated againist and crap like that. She is a good singer, but i think people will overrate her because she is a white girl. I had a friend one time tell me that, "if he could find a white person who had the characteristics and the voice of a black person"( he would be a billioniare)."


Its the same reason why American Idol was started, the producers were looking for a white girl with a black voice. Yea they could find a black female with one, but it wouldnt make money( because the public has already heard a voice like that before)

For instance im gonna use Eminem, Em is a good rapper( i have him top 6 all-time, just based off of record sales, and also how he expanded hip-hop to surburban white america). But i also have to bring his skin color in as well. Before Em burst on the scene( white america viewed rap as ghetto music, and said that it was devil music). Dr. Dre only signed Em, because he had a vision of all the money he could make from white kids(and his plan worked). Eminem is no different from Canibus lyrically. But Em has an advantage because of skin color, and many white kids(who have money, will go out and buy his records because of it). This is why I hold Tupac and Biggie at the top all-time( they sold as much as they sold while being black). Most Blacks really dont have money to go out and waste on a CD, we are trying to get that ish free( real talk).


If Em was a black rapper, he would be another Canibus, or probably on T.I.'s level, but i also realize that without Eminem, hip-hop would not have expanded to white america( so he has done some good things). Em was also able to diss white celebrities during his peak like Brittney Spears and Christina Alguleria without backlash because of his race( no black rapper could have gotten away with something like that back then, it would have been career suicide)


I also think that the Beatles are overrated because of their skin color. I have Ray Charles number 1 all-time( i dont care about how much he sold). Ray Charles was a genius, and revolutionary for his time. Their is nothing about about the Beatles that is different from anything we see today. The people who vote these greatest artist of all-time list are going off record sales( which is stupid). They have consider the times back then as well. I am willing to bet that if the Beatles were a black band( they would still be a Top 15 artist all-time, but would not have sold as much), but because they are white, they get pushed to the top. Ray Charles on the other hand, if he were a white man( would be even bigger than he is now), and their would be no question who the GREATEST EVER was.

The same media also labeles Elvis Presley the King of Rock and Roll( you see where i am going here). Whites steal stuff that blacks have been doing for years, and get labeled the best because of the skin color and record sales( If Elvis was a black man he would be an ordinary singer, and would not have sold as much, because whites would not have spent money of his music). He also paid off black artists who were not able to have their music heard on radio in the past because of the racial tensions back then


Im willing to bet that if Eminem never bursted on the scene, that the Rolling Stones, wouldnt have even done a "Greatest Rappers of All-Time list. Blacks Rappers today have to appeal to white america( because thats who is buying their stuff) Nas was right when he said Hip-Hop was dead.


The media tries to label a white person the " the king of that musical genre" so that in 20 years from now, white people will say that they invented it. Look at Rock Music today( do most of these emo dudes, now that rock was invented by black people). They are doing the same with Eminem( 20 years from now, whites will claim that they invented hip-hop). And you know in a few years the media is just waiting to label Adele," the queen of soul." They tried to label Justin Timberlake," the new king of pop" on MTV back in 2002( remmeber that)



I also have to say this, Adele's agents are doing a very good job managing her career. JoJo and Joss Stone too me are better singers( but they did a big nono in dating black men, and white america would not support them). Adele may seem on top of the world now, but trust me, her career will fall flat( if she is even caught holding hands with a BM)


So my point is," White America loves Black Music", but they will only support and spend money on that artist, if the "black music" is coming from a white mouth

This is so much crap I don't even know where to begin.

My iTunes is chock full of black artists. They probably out number the white artists 3 to 1. So I don't know what the hell you are on about.

And what's that rubbish about black people don't have money to buy CDs?
Good god...the stench of bullshit is making my eyes water.

Finally...I just want to say that I am a Caucasian female and can sing like its no ones business. Skin color doesn't determine vocal quality. Please and thank you very much.

I'm outties

Gotta go listen to tupac and DMX and em and mandisa and Mary j and method man...
 
Hey, I'm not saying she isn't good at any of those things. But she isn't great at any of them either. What helped lift her above her competitors was the emphasis on her looks. That's just a fact. And it is not a sif she plays those looks down. Ever.

your opinion....what lifted her over her competitors is better music, hence why ppl like adele say they want to work with her above anyone else. rember alot of her competitors: ashanti, kerri hilson, katy perry, rhianna and christina milan have used sex appeal and look at their careers compared to hers. we could easily say adele is two dimensional: singer and songwriter. beyonce has more variety. music isn't only about voice or madonna and mj wouldn't exist.

it's his opinion, besides he has a point, just look at the history of the music industry.
 
Adele is a good artist and not so pretentious like Amy Winehouse who claims to sing soul music. Karl Largerfeld said she is 'fat' well that is his opinion since he does not pay for her voice or fashion lessions. His fashions no question favor the pick up stick models.
 
I enjoy some of her songs but am not a rabid fan.

Pretty soon you will be able to "see" more big deal about Adele. One of her exes is releasing a sex tape of him and her. Note to self if you plan to get famous don't record yourself boinking. ;)
