o·ver·rate
/ˌōvərˈrāt/
verb
past tense: overrated; past participle: overrated
1. have a higher opinion of (someone or something) than is deserved.
"dismissing the work as pompous and overrated"
synonyms: overestimate, overvalue, think too much of, attach too much importance to, praise too highly
My opinion that Adele is overrated is in regards to the quality of her music vs the public opinion
A lot of people say Adele has "raw talent," or, "doesn't take her clothes off, " "makes ~r33l muzik,"
but 21 was nothing more than a 60s throwback sound, which is something that a lot of artists had been doing (and a lot better at that) for quite some time
It's not really anything AMAZING as far as I'm concerned
It was inspired by those type of sounds but it has a much modern twist on it
