Hopefully that's not the standard for him to achieve this.

I've been a fan since before she was really popular. Saw her in concert on election night 2016. Her talent is amazing, and she is really charming and funny. Definitely make it a bucket list item, if you've never seen her live.

I don't think she has any current plans to tour with this album. There are a couple of shows scheduled in London for next July. When I heard about them, I was so tempted to turn it into a trip.

I enjoyed the special, but I thought the editing was distracting. The scenes jumped around a lot, and I felt like they didn't stay on many of them long enough to really enjoy the picture/view. But that certainly didn't affect the music.
Funny you mention this.

Bought tickets a few days ago for one of these concerts at Hyde Park. We were going to be in the UK at that time for a planned trip anyway, thought I would surprise my wife the day of the concert by just showing up at the park.

We will actually be seeing the Foo Fighters a few days before at London Stadium. This one my wife knows about.

Hopefully travel loosens up even more by next summer, or at least the process doesn't regress from where it currently is.


You might be the World's Greatest Husband!

If he's class of '93, he's in his 50s so it might take a little more to grease the wheels.

I am a fan of adele, and all truly elite female vocalists. Just the pinnacle for me.

Adele is an elite songwriter and voice.

That said, i stumbled on this 15 year old norwegian phenom that….sings adele better than adele….? Certainly richer tone, maybe not as piercing high range

Anyway, friend sent me this play list so enjoy something different if you like.

She would never admit to that, but ever so humbly, I say yes.

I am sad Redstone won't throw us a bone and put us onto the next big act he's already listening to but we haven't heard of yet. I'm sure there are several I just want one.

I totally agree. Woman Like Me is a close second because the lyrics are on fire.

I have not enjoyed the latest album, in comparison to the previous three. I can put the previous three on shuffle. For whatever reason, 30 has done nothing for me.

In order...

21 - Arguably the best female album since Jagged Little Pill.

My wife and I listened to 30 after watching the TV special - very disappointed in the album. Can only say there are 2 songs that I can listen to - Easy On Me and Oh My God. The rest seem to have a completely different sound that her previous stuff. I am not a fan at all of all the talking throughout many of the songs. I understand that she was going through her personal issues but it is just too much.

I'm not a huge fan of the talking, either, and I would not say this album or any of the songs on it are my faves. However, I appreciate her talent, and I think anything she puts out is better that most other current music.

And after seeing her perform in person, I just can't not love her. Her talent just blows me away, even on my least favorite tracks.

Yeah waitlist for my wife's registration and mine as well. With a small venue like that, plus whatever they withheld for the casino to give out to high rollers and sponsors, it doesn't leave much.

Agreed. Love her voice and would've killed to have been at that show - what an incredible location and the weather was perfect.
