I don't get the hate for Adele's banter.

It's funny and entertaining, and I think it makes her that much more relatable. Plus, I also think it helps calm her nerves, which helps her sing better as well. My mom was telling me, "I'm not going to understand anything she says because of her accent, so you're going to have to translate!"

Which, I do get, but also, I think most people understand most of what she's saying and think it's funny. Besides, it hasn't been a problem until recently, and it's only a few critics.
Secondly, I agree that if she's really cutting "All I Ask" (which she has no business doing), she needs to replace it with another song. Is she done with "I Miss You," too? Or is that just only performed during select shows? Because she needs to bring that one back, too.
And I do want her to attend the VMAs really badly; we'll get another live performance, and that also means she'll probably get some awards (maybe even Video of the Year). Plus, if "Send My Love" starts slowing down at that point, she can debut "Water Under the Bridge" there. Plus, I need her to film a video for "Water Under the Bridge" during her break in touring. Personally, I'd rather she did that than did the Dolan film.
