I actually do think she's a fairly fantastic artist. A good friend of mine who has completely shunned anything mainstream...well, I made a mix CD and put "Someone Like You" on said disc. It fit into its section quite perfectly, and he finally commented on it and said, "That song with the chick singing...where she's depressed about the duded leaving her...she has one of the best voices I've ever heard."
He had no idea it was Adele.
He is now completely thrown asunder by the concept of popular music not completely sucking the life out of anything else.
