I am sick of Adele

Excellent, Marty. Remember when Costello trashed Rondstat, whose version of one of his songs he detested. She was revered at the time, but he found her to sing his lyrics as if they had no meaning. To me, there are "pretty" voices, those of singers who possess nice timbre, and there are "interpretive" singers, who attempt to communicate feelings or ideas with their voice---Blues singers, Johnny Cash, Dylan. Much as a pretty girl will often not have developed much in the way of inner qualities (her looks making that unnecessary), a singer like Rondstat can get by just on the sound of her voice, not what she does with it. Of course, a singer can possess both qualities, as do Iris Dement, Emmylou Harris, and Alison Krauss.

My gf has a rather bad habit of keying in on certain artists at certain times,  playing them consistently to the point where I grow tired if not altogether sick of them.  She was gifted Adele's new record,  on vinyl,  for Christmas and I've heard this record a LOT.  A LOT!

The only negative thing I can offer is that the production is bombastic,  anthemic, stadium-esque on virtually every cut.  I would definitely not mind hearing her in a more "acoustic" type setting,  with a small combo or something like that.

Then again,  I've said the same thing about Aretha Franklin for many years as well.  

olgny, it seems you think Adele would be better suited to Norah Jones-type arrangements--or am I mis-reading?  I'd like to hear Adele with that sort of backing, might be good.
bdp24, I'm a big Rondstadt fan (but not of her popular pop/rock years).  I've always felt she suffered from wrong material and cookie-cutter arranging.  It never occurred to me to point the finger at her, but you may be on to something.  I love her more country/folksy material and her mariachi stuff.  She does a great duet with David Hidalgo (of Los Lobos) on some obscure album.

Precisely.  

Adele is worried all the way to the bank!!
