oh so you actually think those are not cheesy lyrics

i guess we're operating on different definitions of the word.

to you, anything carly does is cheesy because her music is bubblegum pop whereas adele can write the tripe I quoted and be hailed as mature and thoughtful because of her image and vocals. wow how intellectually lazy of you.

Carly's Emotion is a colorful celebration that celebrates the events of being an independent a young woman, the peak of someone's life, when life gives you the worst but also the best, you go to parties, you go places you've never went before with your lover, you feel emotion, Rae Jepsen has created an excellent album that contribes the golden moments, when youre friendzoned, when you want to run away with someone, when you want to declare your life, this album is the elixir of youthfulness, the one that will stand the test of time and will only get bigger during the years.

Adele's 25 is her having her mid-life crisis.

Omg

what an embarrassing response. either you're some 18 year old who thinks you're mature for your age, or some 30+ year old who visits atrl.net

Easily. Adele is overrated. We've heard the same collection of songs for three albums now. I need something different.

In your avi is a woman who based her whole career off of the fact that Michael Jackson is her brother. She is one of the most overrated artists of all time, with one of most overrated discographies of all time. All you can say is 'but...but RYTHM NATION'. Rythm nation my ass, your fave couldn't sing or write for ****. The only thing she can do is dance, yet there are literally millions out there who can do that better than her. Furthermore, she has the stage presence of a ravished corn-on-the-cob.

You're not in any position to be attempting to drag anybody.

well, completely different type of albums, those who prefer glitty, but well made, 80's inspireddance-pop obviously prefer Emotion.
i mean, there's really no logic in comparing...

Adele is far a better singer and songwriter
plus carly hair always covering her ugly forehead, someone please pull her hair back for once, so we can see the real " precious"

All I see is critics basically putting Adele and Carly on the same level critically with Carly having a slight edge.

Not quite the landslide I was expecting, like say Kendrick Lamar's score vs. Taylor Swift's.

Adele is currently my no. 7 album of the year. Carly is no. 5.

So yes - I agree with the critics.

BUT IT HAS 2 MORE POINTS.

and while we're at it; obviously most of ATRL adores Justin Biebers new music, but purpose has a 63 score, MUCH lower than 25.
try make a poll there!

it's simply the fact that ATRL is much more radio-pop/poprnb heavy.

The landslide. Adele is over.

Both EMOTION and 1989 are better than 25. And I don't even care much for 1989.

Just listened to Emotion to see why in hell did get such a high average on Metacritic and omg it's so forgettable and the melodies are bland not to mention her vocals are average.

Adele's album is pretty good and the melodies stuck in your head from the first listen especially with her lovely vocals.

Adele has 33 reviews, Taylor has 29. One of Taylor's tragic reviews wasn't included because she paid them not to include it. When Adele had the same amount of reviews, she was ahead

I mean... duh

EMOTION and 1989 both represent artistic triumphs for Carly and Taylor. 25 shows nothin special other than the fact that in the ~5 years since 21, Adele has remained stagnant.

I see no lies.
