    Adele is amazing singer. Now a new Mom. She rocks it out of the park when she sings. Imagine being her baby. And having her sing you too sleep. That would be heavenly. Who cares if she happy with herself. Then leave the woman alone. Peace

    For most ppl if you mention the "heavy set singer with an awesome voice" they'll know who you're talking about
    Mama Cass? Carnie Wilson? Bette Midler? Charlotte Church? Jennifer Hudson ? Chaka Khan?

    Bette Midler isn't heavy set. At least she wasn't when she was younger. A little heavier now, but not fat.

    And Jennifer Hudson is skinny.

    Chaka Khan's on her way to skinny too. She has lost a ton of weight recently.

    Mama Cass - most people in this generation don't know her except for the fact she choked on a chicken bone
    That's not a "fact" at all.

    And if there was REAL self acceptance of rolls, people wouldn't be trying to lose weight
    Not everyone that is trying to lose weight is doing it because of what anyone else thinks, Champ.

    Self acceptance - if you didn't like yourself perfectly as you are overweight/obese or whatever you wouldn't be trying to lose weight b/c you'd be ok with it. I never said anything about what anyone else thinks. Most people are ON THEIR WAY to self acceptance

    Not only do I KNOW Mama Cass but I could sing many of her most famous songs without needing a lyric sheet in front of me. The woman was amazing.

    Yeah, I was thinking maybe she was talking about her face. Adele is gorgeous.
    Talented? Yes. Gorgeous? No.

    Especially not with that massive hair she's always rocking.

    When kids at my school and later on when I was working and they were in full bullying mode they used to say that I looked like Benny Hill....yes I was plump but not huge and yes I am female....I was devestated

    I adored Mama Cass....and Adele is amazing no matter what she looks like...who cares anyway with a voice like that

    As always, it's a matter of opinion ;)

    Her voice is amazing - I will say that....own her cd and listen to it often actually but if she wasn't famous,.... how attractive would she really be to people? Ever notice how a lot of celebrities are more attractive simply b/c they're famous

    I think maybe you don't quite grasp the concept of self acceptance. Acceptance does not = lack of desire to be the best person you can be.

    I was at the hair salon today and waiting for my stylist to come back. This older woman sitting next to me grabbed a magazine with Adele on the cover and showed it to her stylist and exclaimed, "You look JUST like her!" The stylist, blond curls, heavy-set, just shrugged her off.

    I think Adele is beautiful. I think people need to get over themselves about how she looks too, who cares, she has an amazing voice.

    But I know how she felt.

    When I was heavy, people told me I looked like Monica Lewinski. It drove me insane. Honestly, no, I did not, I just was heavy and had brown hair.


    Just a rant. I do not know why people insist that it is a compliment to point out a heavy celeb you look just like.

    I agree with you. Monica Lewinsky? Nothing against her, I actually have always thought she looked pretty good and always put together nicely. But why can't they say, "Damn! You look like Megan Fox!"?

    Don't forget about Meat Loaf.

    Carnie Wilson - gastric bypass
    Bette Midler is NOT Adele heavy
    Jennifer Hudson - Jenny Craig
    Charlotte Church - thick, once again NOT Adele heavy
    Meat loaf - while still a big guy, actively worked to lose weight as well

    Chaka Khan - has been
    Mama Cass - most people in this generation don't know her except for the fact she choked on a chicken bone

    Just a few corrections, Jennifer Hudson was Weight Watchers, most people know who Mama Cass was.

    I still think she's gorgeous. :)

    PS: When people compare us to celebrities, they're naturally referring to the celebrity when they're all made up and magazine ready, not when they're at home chilling with no makeup, frumpy clothes and their hair a mess (clearly, since we don't often see those pics).

    Maybe because Megan Fox is a mouth breathing wh0re. Like, literally she takes goods for sex.

    Adele is GORGEOUS. If I was compared to her I'd be thrilled!

    Woah, woah, woah... you say someone pointing out that having rolls isn't generally "beautiful" is having a bad attitude, but then call an actress a "*kitten*"? Seriously? Let's stop the pejorative women on women hate NOW.

    Also, OP, you DO look like Monica Lewinski (at her thickest or thinnest)--you guys definitely have similar facial structure (specifically your cheeks, nose, and thick lips). You're both good looking women!

    Although I can understand some feelings of, "No you just think that because of these two traits," as I get lots of, "You look like Tina Fey"... but no, any brunette with glasses seems to look like Tina Fey. -_-

    Yes - she did; I looked it up. They believe that her heart failure was brought on by extreme weight loss measures, i.e., fasting 4 days per week.

    Okay, 'it is speculated that she literally takes goods for sex'... how's that? I'd never call a woman a *kitten* that didn't perform acts of prostitution, but the rumor mill does have a pretty strong line on her using her casting couch skills to get her part in Transformers.

    You mean the rumor that came out after she quit, stating that Michael Bay made her consistently uncomfortable and told her she was only good for sex appeal? :ohwell:

    I don't even like her (she's a crap actress, I don't think many can dispute that), but I hate that the words get thrown around so cavalier... especially when, hey, if someone legitimately wants to use their body that way (in a consensual manner, without pressure), what's wrong with that?

    But, to stay on topic... beauty's subjective, but Adele is flaw free, even in those pictures without makeup.

    I know what you mean. I hate when people compare anyone's looks to anyone. That moment of "wtf, do I really look like that"?!
    You never know how the person is going to take it.

    The majority of people here are saying Adele is attractive, but honestly it's all a matter of opinion.

    A friend of mine used to tell me I looked like Snooki :explode:

    My point is: why even bring it up if you risk offending the person. How bout just keeping your opinions to yourself.

    I'm not saying one way or another whether I think something's wrong with it (too little space to give a good answer) but I will say this -- if one chose to do that, then the noun describing one who does that would apply, wouldn't it? It wouldn't be cavalier in that situation ... it would be apt.

    Well, if she didn't use her mouth to get the job, I don't know how she got it, because she's a garbage actress.


    Either way, I'm just over here crackin' wise. Don't take anything I say seriously - like, ever.

    Adele is stunning - beautiful skins, gorgeous hair, amazing voice, and doesn't give a crap about her weight. She rocks.

    If she didn't give a crap, she wouldn't have lost weight haha and if all of you on this site didn't give a crap about your weight, you wouldn't be here
    She didn't give a crap about what people like YOU think about her. There's a difference.

    I'm losing weight to be more healthy and wear Victoria's Secret and ride roller coasters, not because of anyone else. And I mean that. Anyone who judges me for having rolls can suck an egg. I LOVE myself.

    Self acceptance - if you didn't like yourself perfectly as you are overweight/obese or whatever you wouldn't be trying to lose weight b/c you'd be ok with it. I never said anything about what anyone else thinks. Most people are ON THEIR WAY to self acceptance

    Or there is a medical reason you came here to lose weight. Some of us are here for our health, not to look better for self important morons.

    Yeah, but those were two separate statements of mine :P Don't thrown the term around like an insult, and if someone happens to be a prostitute, power to them.

    But hey, I said I agreed with you MissKourtney... she's a crap actress ;)
