I’ve been a HUGE fan of Adele since the 19 days (and I mean huge, I have posters of her all round my house & I’ve seen her live 4 times, spent god knows how much money on her over the years etc)

but she’s lost so much respect from me cancelling the Vegas shows! There’s absolutely no excuse for that, it’s not like she’s cancelling a tour in fan’s home towns. When I first saw her 11 years ago she had a stool & a lampshade and it’s still one of the most incredible shows I’ve ever experienced. People would have spent so much money on a vegas trip all for nothing, it’s not easy or cheap to just rebook another trip when she eventually decides to turn up! I was literally gobsmacked at the crocodile tears apology video she did, what a smack in the face! Then she has the nerve to fly over to the brits & get off her face in a club while fans are stuck in Vegas with bugger all to see 😂 it just doesn’t sit right with me.

I feel like this whole 30 era has been so self indulgent. I don’t even know how to explain it but as someone who has watched literally every single interview she’s ever done I could tell as soon as she came back something about her has changed. I just think the power has gone to her head now & she doesn’t care about anyone else but herself.

I’ve now got to the point where I actually hope the Hyde Park shows don’t go ahead so I can get a refund for the bloody £300 ticket I bought 😂😭 you probably all think I’m an idiot for buying it in the first place 😂 but normally I’d be counting down the days to one of the best days of my life but now just thinking about the show leaves a sour taste in my mouth! It’s just so sad to have someone you’ve been such a huge fan of for half your life disappoint you so much!

Sorry for the rant but I just thought some of you might find it interesting from a hardcore fan’s perspective because most of them still seem to be making up excuses for her behaviour! I just don’t think I could ever forgive her absolute stinking attitude.

Adele is just Gemma Collins with a voice. She’s toxic, combative, confrontational and a chav and it’s always anyone else’s fault but her own.
Also, her music is the blandness collection of ballads; damning indictment of the world that she’s so popular.

TBH I think the “ordinary London girl” thing is a bit of an act too, which she cynically pulls out of the bag every so often when she thinks it might be helpful. Let’s face it, she went to a highly competitive performing arts school and was launched when she was still a teenager, which likely means she was on a development contract years before that. She’s spent most of her life being coddled and fawned over by music industry suits. That is very far from an ordinary life. She’s spoilt.

I’m looking forward to seeing her trying to squeeze a tear out for Graham Norton. It’ll be interesting to see what excuses she comes up with.
That interview will be highly controlled, and only certain questions and answers allowed.
Her team will never allow her to be put on an awkward spot, she knows already what will be asked and how she will answer.
So there will be a finely scripted response to her BF and her residency questions, so she will come out of the interview smelling of roses.

I think it’s bloody ridiculous to rinse fans globally off the back of your heartbreak then cancel a residency and leave people out of pocket cos you’re rowing with your new bf. And then rub it in with a shitty insta post. I’ve been in her position, I had kids young, I got divorced after barely any length of time married. Totally get it’s a headfuck. But Jesus for all of us who have been through it, she’s definitely profited the most, so at least see through your commitments
I also think the mark of a true professional is that “ The show must go on “.
Look at Katy Perry finding out that RB was leaving her in the middle of one of her tours. She was in a state behind the scenes, but carried on. Beyonce, would never bail and she has had all kinds of problems ( 99 I think 😏 ) with JZ but the shows still continue. Same as Brittany with her conservorship problems, she still did her Vegas residency. So, clearly Adele is not as professional as we were all lead to believe.
Her IG post was highly insensitive and totally self absorbed.

People can say what they want about Ed Sheeran, and even I think he is overexposed. But he is humble and seems like he genuinely likes to learn about music and from different artists.

Like last night I saw his song with that rock band. They might not be everyone's tastes, but not many artists of Ed's fame would be performing with a barely heard of rock group for his only Brits performance.

He also seems self aware enough to realise that he has his haters and people think he's overexposed. Totally the opposite to Adele.

Just popping in to say I absolutely loathe everything about Adele. Her boring, whiney songs that all sound the same, her mannered singing style, her fake as fuck down to earth cockney persona, her enormous ego, her ridiculous make up that looks like it‘s been applied by a plasterer, her stupid plastic nails, her arrogance …….. I could go on! I just wish she would take up permanent residence in the section of her own arse she’s she’s long since disappeared up and never inflict her massively over rated, obnoxious self and dreary warbling on the world ever again. There! Just wanted to get that off my chest. I feel much better now.

Wearing the big diamond on her ring finger is the most cynical attempt to take attention away from the Vegas cancellation and leaves a nasty taste in the mouth.

She needs an entire new team, this has been a clusterfuck from start to finish. A competent team wouldn't have allowed it to be cancelled at such short notice and they would have been all over the leaks to the media. A smart team would have arranged a zoom concert event for those people already in Vegas, an invite link to a one hour private concert with Adele so at least those fans that had already forked over big money for travel and hotels would feel like they got something other than shafted by her. The message with her saying "Rich sends his love" was childish and two fingers up to those that spent hard-earned cash in good faith. This is all highly unprofessional for someone who is not new to the music business.

I can’t understand why she goes to all the bother of weight loss and surgery to then dress herself as some kind of Dynasty reject?

Not a fan of her music at all, but always thought she seemed refreshingly down to earth, but that meltdown because some journalist hadn't listened to her record was the canary in the coalmine. Suspect her has a growing entourage, ego, probably can throw a bunch of substances in the mix, a load of cosmetic procedures and hey presto, she's just another boring Demi Lovato-ish type clone. Seems moving to the US can often be a terrible move in terms of being grounded/longevity.

She wants to reduce working commitments? She’s been MIA for 5 whole years… 😬

Most artists say touring is their favourite part of the job and that’s what everything they work on builds up to?

This has to be one of the biggest diva-turns in history. Remember when she was a working class Londoner, on the heavy side? She’d be out shopping low-key in leggings and no makeup after Someone Like You. Then, inexplicably in the last few years she has become thinner, primped to within an inch of her life, up her own arse, splashing millions and millions on houses and twatting her fans around cancelling concerts. She’s become insufferable.

I agree but overall I think her star is on the wane. Her music is stuck in a rut and her personality is becoming increasingly irritating and unpleasant. I think it’s going to be pretty much downhill from now on in terms of her career unless she pulls something astonishing out of the bag.
