Is it just me that thinks that Adele needs some friends or psychiatric help or at very least anti-depressants?

Fuck sake. This long awaited album (30) that everybody is banging on about (although sales are apparently not going as well as expected). Jesus. I've never heard/seen such depressing lyrics. And this constant melancholy wailing. Mental image that comes to mind is a wounded porpoise (couldn't use whale anymore for obvious reasons).

On satellite (cable to ya'll) we got a two hour "special" on tonight live concert and that includes an interview with Oprah. I cannot fucking wait. And I've no choice but to be subjected to this. So there goes Saturday night! 😭 Not that I had anything better to do (fuck that's sad). Come to think of it: I've not been pissed for over two years now and I happen to know that there's a bottle of Jack Daniels in the cupboard! Maybe tonight is the night i.e. make it fucking bearable!

And while I'm on the topic: something that's perplexed me my entire life. Why are most pop songs about love or breakups or unrequited love or some shit? Something along the lines of country music i.e. the bottle is empty, the dog has died, the crop has failed, the wife has left, you get the picture. I've seriously wondered about this my entire life. Unlike hard rock or metal i.e. I know of exactly one metal song that even hints at love and is as depressing as shit (but that due to the circumstances under which it was released). Ya know: my genre of music along the lines of "I am the Devil and I wanna fuck your mother"! :ROFLMAO: That comes from the below video incidentally. Dunno how many of you, if any, remember or know of Billy Connolly. The original 80's/90's Scottish equivalent of today's US Bill Burr! Video is about music (Christian Rock to be precise).

Just to add to my rant:

Facebook comes to mind. Imagine this: some poor depressed lonely soul decides I need reach out and make some friends. What's the first thing that Facebook tells you when you open a new account? "You have no friends"! :ROFLMAO: Oh the irony! Just what said person needs to see and be reminded of!
 
The Oprah thing was on here in the US like a couple weeks ago or something. She actually seems quite happy now to be honest. She's healthier than ever and apparently is still friends with her ex, which surprised me.

I cannot wait to see it. I never knew that she was ever unhappy. But then there's probably a story there somewhere. Ever noticed these long sob stories that just about every contestant on American Idol or The Voice has? Seems like it's a pre-requisite to stardom! I always wonder if that shit is shown to the judges beforehand. Because man: some of them can lay it on real thick!
 
I'm not such a masochist to watch the voice regularly but I have seen clips on YouTube and I agree with you.

I think Adele is really talented but I'm not obsessed with her like most. I remember really liking Chasing Pavements when it came out. I had no idea what she was referring to at first , but I admit it has a better ring to it that Chasing Sidewalks.
 
She has problems singing too. Her vocals chords are so strained from overperforming that she loses her voice. It's like a circus and she's on stage. I feel bad, I do. But the industry abuses her voice, and then me and my friends, can't get a good gig.
 
And why do these pop singers all sing "American" anyway? There was one word in one of hew new songs that cracked me up i.e. the stretch to get it to sound American. I'm sure it'll come to mind tonight. You ever heard Adele speak? Never mind. Stupid question if that Oprah shit has already been on. Fuck. She was interviewed on the BBC World Service the other day and even I hard a hard time trying to figure out what the fuck she was saying. She could have been speaking Mandarin for all I know! 🇨🇳

Cry me a river. Britney was exploitation at it's finest. And I don't recall one of her songs ever making me feel compelled to slit my wrists.
 
is it a specific regional dialect you're referring to? She sounds like one of those soccer hooligans you guys have running around in sweatpants and windbreakers last time I heard her.

Yea, flaws of the industry. I don't approve of Adele's music. Subsidized to sell.
 
Oh well. Manged to sidestep this one!

Turns out I'm the only one in the house that was aware that this thing was going to be broadcast last night. So I kept my trap shut! :ROFLMAO:

No doubt it's now available for on-demand viewing/streaming at your leisure. Which is worse i.e. means it can be paused, repeated, etc, Karma (for being a selfish cunt)! :ROFLMAO:
