Are you, like me, a bit tired of this song?
Is it a pop masterpiece, or a symptom of Adele's decline from an exciting and original artist to yet another derivative wailer?

Adele's 'Hello': Overrated?

I haven't heard it.
I don't know HOW you've managed that. It's smurfing everywhere!Originally Posted by sharkythesharkdogg

I haven't heard it either actually. I've never been a fan of Adele anyway, so I doubt I'd like it.

I let youtube auto-play on my TV when I'm doing household chores and goddamn, it doesn't matter what genre I'm listening to, hello always gets thrown in to play next. I've had to scramble to change it several times. It's annoying.
I had to actively look for it to actually listen to it. It's a great songAdele is one of those singers whose voice I don't get tired of. I never really got how overexposure to something can ruin it, especially when it comes to music. I can still love Gangnam Style, in spite of it being everywhere back in the day
Still, my discovery of Hello overlapped with my discovery of Lana Del Rey, so maybe I'm not tired of it because I've been listening to different things?
Oh well. Guess I should just go back and do my own thing overanalyzing video game music XD
Yeah, get back into your corner, nerd!
It just seems to me that Adele is in a creative rut. Obviously, musical tastes differ. There are no right or wrong answers.

Though I have to say, I am MUCH more tired of Uptown Funk than Hello
I'm not saying that music can't be analysed. But, whether or nor you like a piece of music can be affected by personal taste. People can enjoy an objectively bad song, or hate an objectively good song. That doesn't make them right or wrong.

I only hear her music on adverts. Most of my recollection of the current 'hit playlist' are the exerts I hear in those CD compilations ads. I havent heard it all the way through; she's a pretty big deal though. I'm a bit sick of seeing her face.
I don't even know if there is an ex-boyfriend about whom the songs are. They're just songs. They don't have to be about anything in real life. Granted, i know nothing about their actual background. But I still just love Adele for her voice.
That reminds me. i finally need to record me singing Let It Go...
Beyoncé has made her entire career singing about how men are terrible, but I am sure that she doesn't really hate men. This kind of thing happens. x}
It's her best song, though not really my taste and I find her previous songs to be awfully morbid. If I hear her on the radio I switch it over before the I start making sad faces.

Don't get me wrong: Adele has done some great songs.
My favourites are 'Lovesong' and 'One and Only'. I just feel that she's started to default to a very samey, derivative sound. 'Hello' could easily have been a song from either of her other albums, it would fit in perfectly.
If that's not a creative rut, then I don't know what is.
I tend to listen to XFM so I rarely hear this song. WHen I first heard it I remember thinking that first verse is boring and will probably grate after a while. It seems I was right!
