Adele At The Bbc

[toalisi]

Not sure if Graham Norton adds much but Adele's performance is
stunning.

What a voice & I hadn't realised what we were missing when she
was away.

[Mamyalynne]

Well, as she stated at the beginning she needed a presenter - would have been odd interviewing herself wouldn't it?

[Maydup]

She's brilliant, excellent voice. Not so sure about the frumpy dress though!

[fiction-factory]

Yes, what a fantastic voice when singing - but I find it difficult to listen to her talking, especially when she cackles.

[Mick-the-Miller]

She's great when she's singing - but when she speaks - oh dear!

[Retrochic]

I find her psuedo 'black' singing voice extremely irritable and she seemed to be over egging it tonight. Her speaking voice - well...her and cheryl cole in a room would be a good weapon of torture.

[Maydup]

It's just a regional accent surely?!

I don't mind it, at least she's full of life and has lots of personality.

[Elina]

She has a lovely rich tone to her singing. I wish she'd pronounce some of her lyrics better though.

[toalisi]

Well said maydup.

She may have a 'Essex' accent when speaking but her singing voice
is great.
To classify her voice as 'pseudo black' is just so inaccurate ( and
insulting) that I'm refraining for saying what i really tnink!

[Retrochic]

toalisi -why would you say a 'black' voice is insulting? are you racist?

Some of the best soul singers are black and their voices are beautiful. Adele has sung some beautiful songs but she has had an operation on her throat and I think she is forcing it a bit and sounding a bit false.

[tonyav]

Well done Adele. Very good singer imo.

[toalisi]

It was the 'Pseudo' bit that I took exception to.

[Retrochic]

well she's not Black is she so if she's singing in that style then it has to be pseudo (do you actually know what that means?)

[Psybbo]

So, Tony, does that make Elvis a pseud?

[DTCwordfan]

can we have one for Katie Mehlua - that would have me close to mental orgasms.....

[tonyav]

Obviously does, Psybbo. And Dusty Springfield.

[Psybbo]

And the tragic, sadly missed Amy?

[Retrochic]

To put Adele and Amy whine -house in the same category as Elvis... do me a favour!

[Psybbo]

toalisi, I hope you don't mind

[Retrochic]

Psybo thanks for the video -proof really that Adele and Amy are not in the same league...they are good but not that good lol! Can you post one of Shirley Bassey? or Tom Jones?

[tonyav]

I like Elvis to, Psybbo.
