I'm not a fan of her music, but it's nice to see someone who writes her own songs and can actually sing (really fucking well) doing well. In the age of the X Factor and the fact Justin Bieber has now beaten the Beatle's record for having the most songs in the charts at one time, a genuine world conquering talent like Adele is something to be celebrated.
So her third album has annihilated the charts. Straight out murdered them. In the UK her album beat Oasis' previous record for fastest selling album of all time, which in the age of illegal downloading is something to sit up and take notice of. And she's a funny, down to earth personality to boot. I would never listen to her, but hey. It's nice to see an album become an Event again.
That being said, she's now went on tour to promote the record and the tickets sold out in seconds. Not surprising but.. what happens at an Adele concert? What do you DO, exactly?
I've thought this before at these kind of singers who perform live. Do you just stand there and watch her sing? Not every gig is going to be Slipknot, and I've been to plenty of fairly tame gigs (Belle and Sebastian don't exactly have a mosh pit) but even someone like say, Whitney Houston, had poppy songs you could at least dance a bit to. What the fuck do you do at an Adele gig?
