She doesn't try hard to be "innovative" or "unsafe" because she has the talent to back it up. Artists who's music can't stand on its own relies on shock value and controversy to get attention, she doesn't need it. Her music will be timeless and classics while her contemporaries' music will sound extremely dated and totally in the wrong direction.

Everyone pushed back or early their releases not to clash with her. Shes breaking every record available effortlessly. The era hasn't even started. You wanna call it boring thats fine with me.

ATRLers are "bored" of Adele (after only 2 weeks  ) because she's not involved in any of the stan world and since she has no enemies, no one can use her as a vehicle to drag other pop gurls. Since she's been gone for so long, she has little long standing stans, and those Adele stans are mature enough to handle all of this with grace unlike some other pop gurls who had their moments in the sun with a huge fall from grace. |
this too

Tbh, one artist dominating everything is boring to me. Like I would actually LOVE if competition was so stiff, that getting more than 2 weeks @ #1 on the hot 100 was near unheard of, and albums staying in the Top 10 of the BB200 for more than a month was a major accomplishment. Obviously that won't happen and I know my opinion isn't shared, but

Yes and no. I think Adele is absolutely wonderful -- her music is beautiful and I am always amazed to see how she moves people and the numbers she's able to pull in this day and age are absolutely astounding and can never be boring for a pop culture/music observer; however, she's not the type of artist that excites as a live performer or visually. Once I've gotten the music and read the stats, that's pretty much it -- I'm never going to be excitedly anticipating what her next live performance will be like or what direction she'll take with the next music video. Adele has proven over and over that she doesn't really need those elements to succeed; however, it does leave some holes given the live performance and visual elements do boost and carry a lot of the excitement for me, personally.

This too. I want more talent to have this success, not just one person. It adds further to the public thinking there's very few talented people at all, rather than the talentless being pushed to the fore.

No, I mean if you find focusing on the music rather than all of the other distractions the other acts you mentioned throw at the GP. I find it absolutely fascinating that Adele can just put her music out there without trying to sell sex, wearing eccentric outfits, elaborate dance moves, and celebrity endorsements and still have 10 times more success than other artists.
