I would count myself as an Adele fan but I also tend to look at her work more objectively than most. I bought 21 the day it was released in 2011 and remember thinking, "I like it, it's good, but I'm not sure it deserves the amount attention it receives."

I feel exactly the same way now. "Rolling In The Deep," "Turning Tables," "Set Fire To The Rain," "He Won't Go" (my favorite), and "Someone Like You" are, no doubt, GREAT songs.

"Rumour Has It"- average
"Don't You Remember"- bad
"Take It All"- bad
"I'll Be Waiting"- average
"One and Only"- average
"Lovesong"- very bad- Even Candace Glover from American Idol does a much better cover.

Adele is not beyond criticism as an artist. 21 is NOT a masterpiece. In fact, it's not even close. 19 is better than 21. It just sold very well and I think people are reacting to sales rather than the actual material. This time I hope she actually releases a masterpiece.
