I agree.
Album still a snooze fest
Second single is Flopping like a fish outta water.
Exactly flopping 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You know how they be bumping Easy On Me in the hood, don’t lie boo boo
And that’s probably one of the reasons why the hood is in such a sad state. 😭😭
HATER. When your first song is still number one the second song has a lot of room to grow. The second song is already a top five hit. Her first song is a great success. Y’all hate on everything. The album is great.
Drag that Fake Pîss
Album is dry i skipped through it had no desire to even listen any further
The album is a great coaster for my cups. Thank You Adele for keeping my tables spotless. You did get one thing right during this forgettable era. ✌️
A cardboard box is not a table.
Hey Fishy Bish. I knew you were around when I smelled dead fish.
