Slayer 9,227 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Is this just a rumor though, because there's a giant banner saying "RUMOR MILL" so... Like others, I don't see why paying streaming subscribers should have to suffer. No I'm not paying as much as I would if I bought a physical copy of the album, but it's better than nothing. So I guess it'll be YouTube for me. I love judas SO MUCH but I canʹt look like a copycat of JLO!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think she really cares? I'm pretty sure Adele and her team can forgo streaming because.... well... it's Adele. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get ****ing over it and adapt ffs I don't think it will completely replace physically owning music in our lifetime, especially with vinyl sells still going pretty strong. I can't stand streaming at the state it's in. Until we have mobile phones with good enough batteries to live stream and not eat a major battery percentage up, it's not worth it for me.

Riot Poof 2,236 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Some of y'all ain't sh¡t for keeping quiet about Adele doing this while dragging Taylor for doing the exact same thing. If this is true, I'mma refer to her as Ad€l€. This is gonna be a one-man battle fighting against the hypocrites, the Tayters, and the Adele stans. 25 is a good album, tho!!!! I'm not a woman. I'm not a man. I am something that you'll never understand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 It's still a rumor right now. Crossing my fingers that she at least puts it on Apple Music. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 104,858 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I don't agree with not streaming it at all. They could have done paid only streaming like Apple Music and Spotify Premium. I will be buying the album so I don't care tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VenusBlackStar 1,301 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I guess was planning to buy it anyway.....even if I'm a little mad at Adele after reading her Rolling Stone cover article.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrawberryBlond 14,649 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Don't worry, you can count on me not to be a hypocrite in this situation. Adele is now just as bad as Taylor for doing this. These type of artists really need to wake up and realise that streaming is the ultimate promotional tool and their sales really won't suffer much because of it. The way I see it is, these artists must feel really insecure about their albums if they feel the need to not make it available for free listens. Because they're afraid the public will listen to it for free, think it's terrible and not buy it. Unlike the old days where people bought albums pretty much blindly, meaning you could easily fool them into thinking they were buying quality based on the singles. If you genuinely think your album is awesome, you won't feel the need to hide it away from those who haven't paid for it. It's no secret that Adele has been concerned about how the public will recieve the album and this is clearly the manifestation of that. What gets to me is that most of the artists who are taking this stand are the ones who are already massively famous and have never had to worry about sales. Surely, if anything, this stand should be taken by those who can't sell because they're frustrated about working hard but not getting the money for it? This is the downside of becoming ridiculously rich all of a sudden - you start taking people to task for doing you out of ten pence. Ironic, much?

Everyone, 'cause its STEALING IF you don't pay. That simple. Its someone's work and product which needs to be payed for. Just like you pay for an iPhone eventhough The "company allready has millions" or "they don't need The money". This attitude that music is supposed to be free is INSULTING to us musicians. Its our livelihood! How does one even dare claim its ok The steal music! Maybe streaming is The future, but it shouldn't be free! IF not II, will stop paying for hairdressers, doctors, taxidrivers...why should I pay? 'cause it's good promo for them, right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenKookie 2,638 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Okay, then I'll just search "25 Adele M4A AAC" on Google and download it. I can only afford Spotify Premium, if you won't put it there then I'm going to download it illegally. As easy as that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said it should be free, only that nowadays most people (myself included) prefer to pay for streaming than buying entire albums and then listen to it like, 3 times and never again. and pile up trash. I obviously support paying for music but It's undeniable that she will be losing thousands of listeners through streaming (myself included). "'Cause I won't be used for my love and left out to cry."
