I guess ATRL is expecting more 'controversy' or 'scandal' from Adele, and she isn't serving that.

The album is selling like hotcakes, 'Hello' is everywhere.. the music speaks for itself.

Originally posted by MovinKindaSlow I get what you mean. Like there's nothing polarizing about Adele/her music so the discussions don't go far beyond how big her success is. With other artists like Gaga/Miley there were a lot of different aspects to discuss in their success and it created more buzz and strong divided opinions. In Adele's case her success is phenomenally huge but everybody just seems to be happy for her and that's it. It's kinda refreshing though when you think about it. No real stan wars, bitterness or shade, just a nice talented woman being a hit.

Originally posted by daking17 It's only underwhelming to some of you because she's not walking around in crazy outfits or serving background music to std filled gay menage a trois. What she is doing tho is reaching a near unprecedented amount of people with her music & setting earth chattering records.

Really? Bitch, you just realized that no one in the real world cares at all about sales or pop gurl twitter drama? If no one "cares" about Adele selling 3+ million first week, do they honestly care if Blackout didn't reach #1? Do they care when Unapologetic sells whatever it sold? If you want to discredit Adele, you're going to honestly discredit your faves because Adele outsold ERAS in the first week. If you want to do that, then lemme bring up the receipts when some of ya'll gloat about how your fave reached #1 on billboard selling 124k.

Ya'll mothercuckers think that just because Adele isn't having a mental breakdown or getting naked on stage that means it's "underwhelming"? It's selling well because average people respect her as a musician. It doesn't need controversy or discounts to sell. People talk about her in a positive light, ya'll know that the biggest discussions happen whenever a pop gurl is acting really messy. Ya'll think that Miley received good publicity when she was doing her thang during the VMA's? Her reputation is ruined now, no one respects her as an artist. I would rather have my reputation as an artist then to be "talked about" on twitter and ATRL by some annoying bottoms.

Finally, if someone like Gaga released the same exact album in the same exact fashion, ya'll know the people on ATRL would be screaming "IMPACT HUNTY" or "ICONIQUE MOMMIE". It only feels underwhelming because some of ya'll don't stan for talent, you stan for messiness, and that's fine do your thing. But to the rest of the world, Adele has impacT as we're all listening to 25, bopping to Send My Love (To Your New Lover) while the 30 ATRLers bop to Focus and delude themselves into thinking it's a good song.

Originally posted by WeFoundTrouble Even if this is a troll thread, I kind of agree. Huge musical events are still usually equal to silence in the real world. People at the grocery store and parties and your coworkers don't spend all day discussing how well Adele or Taylor or Bieber or whoever is selling. That stuff isn't relevant in the real world.

Originally posted by simon Buying an Adele album is similar to buying a tube of toothpaste. Highly useful and widely produced, but a bit uneventful.

This.

Originally posted by robotdanger What do you expect? Billboards and federal holidays?

Of all the albums released in the past few years, 25 is by far the most discussed. It's making headlines the world over. It seems like a non-event on ATRL however, because ATRLers are into skinny manufactured pop girls.
