It's incredible how the swifties have somehow managed to make themselves believe that Adele is no longer successful :rip:

Well they truly believe their fave is some type of avant songwriter and performer so can’t be surprised :michael:

they even think Taylor can sing better than Adele and even Ariana and those tweets get thousands of likes so they have their own reality

Just as I thought, the thread devolved into "swifties burned my crops" real quick.

The obsession :rip:

Yes, Adele was a very relatable person, beautiful but overweight, normal husband, normal friends, she was rich but she didn’t look like it. On the oposite other pop girls had very skinny bodies, famous boyfriends, famous friendships…the approach of people to them was very different. Adele never had a strong fan base but everyone liked her meanwhile other pop girls had an “army” who would kill for them but also were very hated

No

 

The backfire :ahh: 

Imagine saying Adele benefits from being overweight but don't think your faves GREATLY benefit from being conventionally attractive :celestial5:

The lack of reading comprehension :rip:

No one said that the conventionally attractive pop girls didn't benefit from their beauty, but Adele also benefited from being anti that and to say otherwise is a lie.

Then what the point of this thread then if all pop girls somewhat benefit from "their beauty"? Why single out Adele and said out loud that she benefited greatly from her appearance (which is hardly true to begin with)?

Adele is still the most successful female

artist this decade. Why are Swifites so threatened by Atkins? :rip:

Yes because the pop world is filled with successful plus-sized women? The music content resonated with the masses and that's why she had and still has the success she has. Taylor by far benefitted more by being a skinny white blonde blue-eyed woman than Adele did by being fat.

Adele is still successful, and she has a strong fanbase too.

 

After her BST Hydepark show.

Because now she's underperforming?

Adele benefited from her appearance just as much as Taylor, and she didn't suffer any negativity from it untill her new skinny image. Adele's unassuming and dowdy appearance made her "relatable" and "not like other girls" to the gp.

She's still beautiful in both pictures, her weight doesn't change how beautiful she is

Yes.

She was loved by many because she was considered "not like the other girls", was relatable (could be your average working-class woman local to your area) and was focused on her talent rather than gimmicks or a big display of her private life. Her also being big stood out since there was little representation for big women.

 

She got rid of the things that made her unique.

No one said it does :deadbanana2:

But her looking like this is obviously a drastic change and more in line with what a pop girl traditionally looks like to the gp

They really think it'll become true when they repeat this lie multiple times

Then why didn't she become a phenomenon right out the gate? It took her like three years to be as huge commercially as she got with 21. I don't know whether you can remember that period or not but everyone was surprised by how well Adele was doing, especially considering uptempo songs, particularly EDM music, were the trend then and RITD and SLY were not the typical monster hits for that era. Also the theory makes no sense because then pop music should be filled with plus-sized women but you can count the plus-sized women who achieved mainstream success these past twenty years in one hand. Like let's be real here.

This. They live in their own world. :rip:

 

OT: No. Releasing an album 6 years after the last one hurt her career and yet she managed to score a big hit and great album numbers. :coffee2: Far away from not being successful anymore.

Honestly I see no difference at all, all she did was lose weight for her own personal reasons that's it.

Even Heller Keller could've told you that one of the reasons for Adele blowing up with 21 was that she was not the conventional thin pop starlet. It was that combined with the naked, earnest heartbreak songs. A skinny woman's heartbreak just isn't the same. A big woman's heartbreak carries more weight. No pun intended.

Obviously people needed to like the music first for her to become successful, but her image clearly helped. She didn't become successful due to only one factor.

Because the songs weren't there. "Chasing Pavements" is a good song but the metaphor is a bit confusing. Once she started releasing heartbreak songs everyone could relate to and understand, that's when she blew up. "Rolling in the Deep" was the first, pure anger. "Someone Like You", sadness and resignation.
