Was Adele being a fake stan?  |
Was she ever really full-on stanning at all?

Then you can tell that she's very much the same. The only major difference is that there's more social commentary instead of relationship commentary in her songs on Sheezus.

Jack White Black Keys Feud Rolling Stone Ripoff
Jack White is pretty sure you've heard of the White Stripes PHOTO BY GETTY IMAGES

Jack White has words for the Black Keys, and they aren't nice. In an excerpt from the next Rolling Stone cover, the Lazaretto-maker reiterates his previously made-in-private theory about the Nashville-via-Akron duo ripping him off. He even takes it to the schoolyard, which is fitting not only because of the inherently childish nature of the conversation, but because the beef arose when White told his ex-wife he didn't want their kids going to school with Dan Auerbach's kids.
"There are kids at school who dress like everybody else," he said, "because they don't know what to do, and there are musicians like that, too. I'll hear TV commercials where the music's ripping off sounds of mine, to the point I think it's me. Half the time, it's the Black Keys. The other half, it's a sound-alike song because they couldn't license one of mine. There's a whole world that's totally fine with the watered-down version of the original." Oof.
White explained what he meant by way of grouping Duffy, Lana Del Rey, and Adele in the same category, implying that they're also purported ripoff artists in the vein of his nemeses the Black Keys.
"Some people will hear that and say 'Oh, Jack White thinks he's the first person to play the blues,'" he said. "But certain acts open up a market for a certain style. Amy Winehouse: Did she invent white soul? Wearing a beehive? No. But she did something brand new and fresh, altogether as a package, and you see who's in her wake, from the Duffys to the Lana Del Reys. Adele selling 20 million records? That would not have happened if Amy Winehouse was alive."
Perhaps if he and Meg White were still friends...
"The White Stripes did the same thing," White went on, "and in our absence, you're gonna find someone to fill that. And you get a band like the Black Keys, who said they never heard of the White Stripes? Sure."

Am sure that would mean she knows about her music. Anyway am not sure what you guys where talking about , you can carry on  |
You can clearly see in that video that she is way more excited about meeting Miley and doesnt really care about Taylor tbh

So this is what sparked the discussion in Stand Your Ground.
What ********. 21 took off months before Amy died and Amy was a non-factor by the time of her death and would have made no difference to Adele's career.
Nothing about Adele is a rip-off of Amy. Aside from being retro-inspired soul, their music is completely different and a beehive is hardly grounds for comparing the two.

The ironic thing about this is the fact that he and Adele were supposedly friends. He is the lead vocalist of The Raconteurs as well as The White Stripes, and The Raconteurs did "Many Shades of Black" with her; Jack White and Adele even planned to meet in Detroit to work on music before 21 was released, although it never happened.

Birdy said something that I found to be true which applies to what Jack White said.
Quote:
So, you have a vision. I was having this idea recently about how there really isn’t anything new coming out. You have made things that are new but out of something old. So, as a kind of voice for the youth of this generation, do you think there's really anything truly groundbreaking, or are we all just programmed by the Internet to just copy, paste, and go from there?
“[Laughs.] I think everyone copies. Not just on the Internet. But, you pick things up just by being inspired by them. They come out in their own way, which is something new.”

Irony is, he decided to work on the Bond song.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was upset at Skyfall getting critical acclaim while his theme was pretty much panned.

Though, I don't think he's necessarily trashing Adele in that interview, just under the false impression that Amy's death had any affect on 21, when it didn't.

This argument makes me cringe so much...
In other news that was my first visit in SYG today is it always like that?

I wish no slight to the talents of Winehouse, Duffy, Lana Del Rey, and Adele. All of whom are wonderful performers with amazing voices. I have their records and I hope for more success for them all as the years go on. They deserve all they’ve gotten. And, I also would love to state that I personally find it inspiring to have powerful, positive female voices speaking out and creating at all times in the mainstream, and all of those singers do just that, so I thank them.

I think it goes back to what I've said in the past. Adele proved you can sell over 20 million records WW in this day and age. Other stars just aren't doing it and get compared to Adele's numbers, when she was a rarity. Now there's talk of her releasing again and people are afraid. Fear brings out the insults and the BS cause they don't have enough faith in the fact that their stars can do what Adele has done. But who can? That's why it's rare. They need to stop comparing their stars to her Stardom, and accept normalcy. imo
