She does it better live:Quote:

I like Adele. What you see is what you get. There are no airs and graces about her. She is the same girl she was when i first met her around 2006. She may not be everyones cup of tea but i rate her. I could really go to town about the behaviour of some of the great divas mentioned in this thread but i shall refrain. Some of them gave me nightmares from which i shall never recover. I agree that many of todays stars do not match up but Adele is a one off. \A maverick. She sings and writes songs from the heart. They are personal and heartfelt, and she puts a great deal of emotion into her performances because she is singing about her life and her experiences. Iapplaud her.
I totally agree. How can someone with such a poor voice sell all those records. Her live performances were lip synched and she quite simply refused to sing live for the simple reason that she was not capable. I worked with her on one of her first visits to the UK, She "performed" lets wait a while on top of the pops and kept fluffing it even though she was miming to the song. It took her over 5 hours to do it to a satisfactory standard. I could not believe how unprepared and unprofessional she was. She was a pleasant enough person albeit rather distant , but i could not respect someone with zero musical talent. I am still astounded by her great success, but not in a good way.Quote:

I have bought everything she has recorded and as you rightly say her live performances are even better than the studio recording . She also happens to be one of the funniest people i have ever met. Sorry for going off topic here but Patti is just the best!Quote:
