Is Adele overrated?

lI never said she was bad though, just saying that I believe Adele has something. I don't really see much substance in most songwriting anymore, Madonna is good in that. I just feel like it went down with songs like BIM. 

But what about songs like Ghosttown, Inside Out, Wash All Over Me, Rebel Heart, Iconic, etc? They're lyrically beautiful.

THERE IS NOT A SINGLE SONG ON REBEL HEART THAT IS HALF AS GOOD AS HELLO :awkney: Btw Adele wrote Someone Like You totally on her own and it's better than any Madonna songs in vocals/lyrics and melody..(And I am a big fan of Madonna's discography)

I would have to disagree that either of those are good as the highlights of Rebel Heart. Inside Out and Ghostown alone >>>>>

It's obvious that our taste is absolutely different. Because inside out to me sounds like a generic filler and is one of my least favourite songs on Rebel Heart.Well at this point we will have to just agree that we disagree. But I still think that Adele is x500 times better than Madonna in singing and writing songs.. Madonna's strong talent is working with the right people,being a great dancer and being creative af imo

Okay fair enough, agree to disagree.

No she has talent. Something somone like Katy Perry hasn't for example. 

She has incredible voice, but her song writing skills... Look at 'Halo', this song is too simple to impress me.

The production is really simple,yeah.. But the lyrics are amazing and the chorus is just amazing :giveup:

I love all of those songs, especially Ghosttown, but BIM just brought everything down for me :emma: In my opinion it was that bad

It was a fairly well written pop song tbh but fair enough

No, she's not. There's tonnes of artists underrated that also deserve as much recognition as Adele, but she is in no way overrated.

Seriously, we don't need to tear people down 24/7 just because of jealousy. It got boring a long time ago.

IMO, yes.

So many musicians do the things y'all are praising Adele for, but they aren't even getting 1/8 of the attention.

Of course Adele is talented, and I like her music. However, I just don't think it's good enough for Adele to be considered some sort of deity in the music industry. I gave 21 another listen, and I still don't get the hype.

Yes.

She's one of, if not the, most overrated artist at the present moment. That's not to say she isn't talented, because she actually is one of the better vocalists of our time. However her talent is really blown out of proportion. Anyone who disagrees must have some sort of blinding bias.

Yes, she is. But I'm still glad that video directed by Xavier Dolan (aka the s-xiest director on earth and a true genius) broke all records and not something like "Someone Like You"

So by cowriting an album that was received pretty poorly by critics she is somehow better than Adele, usually globally renowned for her lyrical capability as well as her being the main writer of almost all of her songs? 

RH was not recieved poorly and Madonna is The primary and sole writer just like Adele. And they both have co-writers. So yeah, Adele does have muuuch better vocal talent obviously, but not writing. 

And tto The op question. How can someone be over rated? She is loved and adored by a huuuge audience therefore they rate her high for various reasons and buy her music and connects to it. So no, she is not over rated by that standard. Is she The absolute best singer, writer etc in The world? No. But thats irrelevant to her popularity.
