Celebrity Overload

I am sorry but the interview she has just done with Oprah Winfrey reminded me of Les Dawson doing his Cissie and Ada sketches.

...

You made me LOL!

I would imagine her agents are getting her to promote herself... she's 'big bucks' and they get a nice chunk of her "obscene" earnings. Striking whilst the iron's hot, so to speak.

The entertainment industry is a business like any other business and as long as people are prepared to pay to hear her in concert or buy / stream her recordings, she'll continue to get rich.

And if the tabloids are anything to go by, we are a bit of a celebrity-obsessed nation, lapping up all the details of their lives - even the mundane bits.

I've often noticed on social media - Facbook in particular - that any column inches about a celebrity's exploits attracts hundreds, often thousands, of comments; yet an article about something that affects all our lives, like social care or the NHS, only has a handful of comments.

Bread and Circuses.

I only saw her once on TV, can't remember what or where but it was a large concert hall. Her language was appalling and I have never liked her or her music since.

That would have been The Albert Hall.
I remember it well. She was a potty mouth!
Her latest single is awful!

I thought she looked a lot better before her ‘beautification’ I like her voice but have no desire to hear about her woes I ve had enough of my own

Think she has a nice voice but would not listen to her music, it’s a bit depressing for me. Her recent pictures look ridiculous, she is so false and she looked better before.

I much prefer Meghan.
So much more class, I think.

I remember being shocked at her language between songs in the Royal Albert Hall of all places, has she no respect? She spoke like a real street girl in such an illustrious place, it made me cringe with embarrassment because she was English and letting the side down. I decided she was not for me from that day.

Janet Street-Porter has really nailed all the nonsense of Adele's vacuous self-promotion and soul searching:

... yes, she has nailed it.

It seems like Adele has become another celebrity 'brand' instead of a singer of songs.

Is she helping others by telling-all though? Do people relate to her anguish? Do they feel less-alone knowing that those in the celebrity world suffer, too? I'm not against such celebrities being honest... but not sure we need to know the minute details.

Yes, I expect some people do relate to her anguish, actually.
There is one of her songs I can't listen to because it makes me cry.
Just the same as countless other songs have had an effect on countless other people over the years.

I used to like her once upon a time,until I heard her vile language,now I cannot stand her.

Careful, bumpy road ahead

I prefer the road less traveled, sometimes.

I bought the first CD she did. I've listened to other stuff of hers and thought it all sounded quite miserable. I much preferred Amy Winehouse, particularly in her early days.

Me too Kim

I like her, and her voice, and her songs, even the new one. I think she’s very talented. I don’t watch much television or read any magazines though, so I’ve missed all the (over) exposure.
