Adele deserves all the praise for the '25' era and for its good music and groundbreaking success, but I feel like the media (and a lot of people who used to make fun of her) are brownnosing her a bit too much and exaggerating their temporary stanning.

There is no doubt that the praise is deserved, but in your opinion, is it genuine, or it's mostly just influenced by the success she's enjoying?

Adele is VERY talented, but I do think most of the media's excitement with her is because of her sales. It's how the industry and ATRL works.
Last year was Taylor, now is Adele.

You obviously don't find anything wrong with that since your sig is dedicated to Rolling Stone brown-nosing Taylor.

I think the whole industry is excited about what we are seeing with Adele right now. No one thought it would ever happen again, I think it deserves the overt, and to some extent, superfluous praise it's getting. It would be the same with any artist, not just Adele.

I would say a small propotion are brown nosing her too much. I've been with Adele from 19 and I've seen people who used to make fun of her (call her fat/Amy Winehouse wannabe etc) say she's amazing/so talented etc with the releases of 21 and 25. I think the majority of people out there appreciate her talent and broad appeal (hence those album sales) and that the success of 21 lead people to discover that.

Who cares? They "brownnose" Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake and Taylor, too. When you "save the music industry," it happens and isn't limited to Adele. It's not something you can stop either, so the "#StopBrownnosing2015" is pretty redundant.

The GP, like ATRL, stans for success.

They don't necessarily LOVE her... just what she's become

Yeah, I'm sick of the bitch already

Even as a stan, I find the constant praise uncomfortable at times. Mostly because I wonder if these will be the same people dragging her months from now.

Even she seems uncomfortable with people bragging about her success to her face. I have no doubt some of them are legit fans/stans though.

Yes, similar to Bey and Taylor in recent years.

She's VERY likable, that is why she sold over 3 million copies of her album in a week...

Yeah..

ATRL isn't the only place which stans for sales. Major media outlets do as well.

Not to say that Adele doesn't have any talent, she does, but she's not the second coming of Jesus and the mostly bland and safe songs on 25 don't help her case.

Yes, overrated seriously in the talent department, lyrically in her muzik and she has no musicianship

At least she can form a coherent sentence.

ad hominem
ad ˈhɒmɪnɛm/
adverb & adjective
1.
(of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.
"an ad hominem response"
2.
relating to or associated with a particular person.
"the office was created ad hominem for Fenton"




Edit: Quite interesting with your avi though

They do that with every huge name, it's not exclusive to Adele

In your opinion, which millions of people seem to disagree with. Just because she isn't making music you can twerk to, it doesn't make the music bland. If Whitney released nowadays, I'm sure ATRL would call her bland too. None of you on here really know **** about music, let's be honest.

Anyway, I'm leaving this thread. I've done enough dragging for today.

Nowhere NEAR as much as they brown-nosed Taylor for two full years *rolls eyes violently.*

Honey, that's an ad hominem attack in itself. Cringe.

Like they did with Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and those who sell
