[thirdform]

@kid charlemagne Should I watch Raid 1 and Raid 2 on different nights, to give time for contemplation, or as a double feature, for full immersion?

ive seen them both. 2 years and 2 days from this date i saw the raid two. remember slightly enjoying the first more.

 

[kid charlemagne]

as for this thread, adele covered dylan's Make you feel my love and it launched her career garnering 190M views on youtube. she owes her career to him, has she even ever said his name? enough said for me to give my answer without giving my answer

I like her voice, but she's more embarrassing than Adele, especially on stage.

Even at her most fucked up (the Belgrade gig/carcrash), Amy was never as embarrassing as Adele bursting out of her Jamaica flag bra.

Thought she was West Ham? Might be wrong, but wouldn't put it past a Metro hack to get the colours mixed up.

 

[Corpsey]

Don't particularly like either of them, other than these three songs







Can we do Kate Nash vs Lily Allen next?

 

[Corpsey]

I guess Amy Winehouse is in that great british (or is it british? one thinks of Dylan immediately) tradition of putting on a silly yankee voice when singing ala. Jagger, except she can sing proper notes too

I think to be a memorable singer, though, you have to have a somewhat silly ridiculous voice

Except Kate Nash, who sang in her own god-given accent

they both have bizzarely affected singing voices.both put on american accents but adeles is infinitely more dignified.

also adele has proper songs whereas winehouse is comedy musisc as limbirg so astutely put it.

"Adele Laurie Blue Adkins[9] was born on 5 May 1988 in the Tottenham district of London, to an English mother, Penny Adkins, and a Welsh father, Marc Evans.[10] After Evans left when Adele was 2, she was brought up by her mother."

"Adele wrote the song within 10 minutes, when she was only 16 years old, after her mother tried to persuade her to leave her home suburb of West Norwood in London for university. "Hometown Glory" is the first song that Adele ever wrote"

Evidence of genius? Or PR bullshit?

Mind you when I was 16 I was writing verses for online text battles that would have made Eminem hang up his microphone

Wait were you on that forum too?

they're both comical tbh. how do you measure gracefulness this is pretty try hard.

 

[thirdform]

theyre both kitsch music. Arguably winehouse is better from a conceptual pov cuss she's just so over the top. what you're doing is letting your flimsy discipline waver in pursuit of épater les bourgeois and pleasantries. The dislike of the clever is middle class self-hate. It's the same reason why your love for oasis is cowardly. never abandon the conceptual! even @blissblogger in his heart of hearts is a progger, he wants everyone to make conceptual albums, he just thinks that the proggers don't do it all that well. fair enough, there's a lot of crap mainstream prog out there.

So winehouse it is, on this alone.

 

[other_life]

from here on out discounting judgements of what is or is not beyond the pale by anyone in the thread who picked adele

 

[other_life]

you could not get away from rolling in the deep when it was charting. insufferable
