I think Set Fire To The Rain is far superior to both of them. The best pop song in a decade, as far as I'm concerned.

Wow... from this and the other post on Whitney... i'm surprised at two things:
1) Grateful Fan is a female
2) People would like to talk trash about a dead person on this site that it's FM.
(c'mon... u know some people do)
She probably had heart failure. Yes, made worse by drug abuse through the years. I didn't see the Foo's speech, thanks for the post.
Oh and thank you for reflections on a Kiss fan.
IMHO: they put on a great show... but the super fans... man... it's just all very strange and upsetting.

You write a lot, but say nothing.
You're neither intelligent, humorous, nor clever.
You bring nothing to the table.
You are simply a cunt.
A cunt spending a lot of time on a Queen discussion board.
Time for the cunt to get off his/her pedestal. You don't belong on one. You don't matter.

She's got her detractors and those who think she's much ado about not much. A woman who I work with who is 30 hates her and finds her utterly boring. I like her very much. Among other types of music, I really appreciate just her kind of singular, raw talent channeled through emotional but not over the top material. One woman or one man standing at one microphone, virtually still, just making a beautiful sound and summoning universal emotions will always be a musical experience that resonates with a lot of people.

I think you misunderstood me. I don't dislike Adele's songs, I just don't find them stunning. I find her music video's unusually good, though. Especially "Chasing Pavements" was extremely well-made (and, I might add, very charmingly choreographed), though I find it a rather uninspired song music-wise (I'm not much of a lyrics-man).

jpf - what the fuck is wrong with you? Do you have some kind of brain damage preventing you from acting like a decent human being, or have you been forcefully sodomized so often that the whole world is a pain in the ass to you?

I really can't summon up two shits either way for Adele. It's great to see someone winning awards for something aside from auto-tune set to the demo button on some ex-Black Panther's Yamaha keyboard.
But I think it's sad that something like that should be seen as a success for decent music. There once was a time when all of the artists would've been actual decent singers, and that the most recognised one stood a chance of being an exceptional talent. I'm not knocking people who like Adele, but she's a plain singer and one of her big singles is simply 'that 4 chord song' ... AGAIN. I mean, really? Guys?
I'm still laughing that there were people watching the Grammys who didn't know who Macca was. Now that's sad.

What's this got to do with Ex Black Panthers????
Bobby Seale's got nothing to do with this does he?
BTW: Friday would have Been Huey Newton's birthday.
if anyone's unaware of their contribution to leadership and domestic programs in the USA... (regardless of the ones that they couldn't get off the ground) you should read up.
also with regards to the US and policies of Counter intelligence that limit the individual... hmm...
i think adele's song that's all over the place is pretty good. Can't say i've heard her album.

I think she's got a beautiful tone and I've always liked that particular kind of just slightly unpolished contralto. Would be curious - for you and others - who do you count among the exceptional voices?
