Would HDD lie?

Hmm, true.

Yeah because ballads and midtempos = real powerful universally relatable emotion!!!!!!1!1!

Adele is literally the single most prominent artist of this generation, bar none. She will go down as a legend and her name will be in the record books for decades and centuries to come. No other artist bar Beyoncé comes close.

Hmm... I spot shade.

Spill that tea HDD

I love Adele but I'm so tired of stuff like this. She isn't interested in being a businesswoman and that's perfectly fine but artists - particularly women artists in such a male-dominated industry - being businesspeople doesn't make them less real.

I never see anyone say Justin Timberlake isn't "real" and he's a businessman, too.

I disagree.

She's a brand (and a big one).

i do agree

with Adele u have literally nothing else to focus on other than the music; no makeup endorsements, no perfumes.... just the music

I think that's part of her appeal for a lot
of people, and she obviously does very well for herself regardless. Meanwhile people like Beyoncé and Taylor are almost kinda dependent on the both aspects of their celebrity status

don't start

Adele is a business woman though, she's just decided against endorsements etc. The fact you think to be a business woman you have to sell yourself (perfumes deals etc.) is archaic. A woman can choose to do those things, but it doesn't make a woman any less of a business person if they choose against it.

I agree that Adele isn't a brand because she is literally all about music and that's it.

I don't agree that that is the reason why she is winning. She's winning because she has a powerful voice and in her earlier albums, she sang about things people could relate to.

the word classiness is so abhorrent, too

These kind of comments as responses to it are just as cringeworthy.

Clearly it connects with people. Why be so ****ing pressed by it?

I see no lies

Y'all swear shade is in everything. If it's that obvious it ain't shade, y'all so dumb

I kind of agree in the sense that if she chose to sell a perfume, it would be the fastest selling. If she chose to endorse a cosmetic brand, it would be the fastest selling.

She doesn't capitalise on how powerful her brand actually is, which is something to be respected in a way.
