Ugh you need at least 150 words in the review thread so I had to delete my review of 25. I can't muster more than ~80 words.
I'll just post it here.
Adele -- 25
Celine Dion meets Nicholas Sparks on Adele's manufactured third album, which is meant to recount her experiences at the age of 25 but, despite the major changes in her life (motherhood, having a partner of 4 years), feels like a retread of 21. Cliches abound (Water Under the Bridge, Remedy, When Were Were Young) as Adele veers dangerously close to Glenn Close/Fatal Attraction territory in her ongoing pursuit of her long-gone lover. You can't fault her for giving the public what it wants, but you can't call her a great artist either. Her powerful, booming voice is the savior here. 2/5
*The smoky and sensual I Miss You should become a single.
Both performances are at the American Music Awards, two years apart.....
What a true effing waste of talent
Her voice + stage presence have improved so much, what is this comment?
That Focus performance is her best performance yet and better than any Rihanna performance ever.

I agree with your review but I wouldn't give it a 2/5. Probably 3/5.

Her voice has improved?? If anything it's regressed... her enunciation was never that good to begin with but now it's just unlistenable... not to mention her songs are watered down Katy Perry rejects.... I'm forever pressed she abandoned her superior R&B/diva sound for generic Top 40 crap... And I'm not saying Top 40 music is ALL bad because I love pop music, it's just that her current music is so bottom of the barrel....
and why is obama gray?
