I really like how in the beginning she was trying hard not to insult the 14 year olds.😂😂😂 She found a nice way to say, "I dont really care if you listen to me music. I've got your mums!"

[@horrorvictim]

The most respectful way of saying "Yo mama" 😂

[@agroujad2883]

I've literally been obsessed with adele since I was 13/14 so watching that was just a moment for me lol

Yo, no había escuchado esta recopilación de entrevistas y traducir al español. Pero es encantador y fascinante escuchar que el compañero de trabajó de Nuestra Princesa 💫💫💫 en el proceso se crear letras y música . Le haya parecido fantastic la letra de "ONE AND ONLY" . También creo es una letra maravillosa, con una belleza, sensibilidad y profundidad única. Dónde describe un tipo de Amor con un compromiso de acompañamiento hasta el final de los tiempos en una relación, que es totalmente factible y posible. ( Yo lo puede presenciar en la relación de mis Padres). Me conmueve tanto la letra de ésta canción... Dice tanto de la sensibilidad de Nuestra Princesa 💫💫. Con apenas 21 años poder vislumbrar y plasmar una verdad del Verdadero Amor. Indiscutiblemente una gran Musa Despertaba en Nuestra Princesa. 💕💕💝💖🌹💖🌹💖

[@TheJessloveslove]

I don’t think she’s underrated at all . She’s very globally appreciated .

[@tenzen6899]

@@TheJessloveslove I think they meant Underrated as a Songwriter, and I agree altho she is very famous for having a BIG Voice, many don't know how great she is as a Songwriter, she wrote all her hits alone or with one co-writer, which is very uncommon in Pop. She also is known for writing some of her best songs in minutes, she wrote Hometwon Glory at the age of 16 all by herself and in 10 minutes, (Hometown Glory is one the best songs about missing Home). When talking about songwritting people talk about Lana Del Rey or Taylor Swift, But Adele is on their level if not better (I love all of them btw)

[@riteasrain]

It just baffles me why people keep writing these inane "underrated" comments all over youtube, copy/paste. Obviously trolling to get views.

[@giths19]

@@tenzen6899 Lana Del Rey and Taylor Swift are not near vocal powerhouses that Adele is. So its easy to see why people will talk about their writing skills. Adele on the other hand with her voice will have you deep in your feelings for so long that you forget that she wrote these damn sad love songs.

[@kaiymariewalker8823]

As a songwriter myself, these are gems! Music is definitely therapy. I got through heartbreak by writing. I was able to put into lyrics feelings I couldn’t put into words. The catharsis I feel from getting things off my chest in a creative way is unmatched.

[@cadeaualicia4370]

How did you become a songwriter please ? 🙏🏻

[@kaiymariewalker8823]

@@cadeaualicia4370 Frankly, I’ve always been a writer since about 8 years old. Around 2020, I put a lot work into creating a batch of songs that expressed what I was going through. Last year i published my first single. You want your songs to tell a story. It’s important to be real with yourself don’t be afraid of your feelings, lean into them, be unapologetic and just let your creativity flow. Never force it, just tune into yourself, introspect and put the time in. No way around putting in your 10,000 hours! You’ll start to improve as a lyricist.

[@danikahholdman2609]

Adele hit the nail on the head about sincerity, and the artists that are most affected are the up and coming ones; the ones who don’t have the power to dictate how their music is made. The transactional culture forced on artists (and the audience in a wider sense) by the music industry is a cancer stifling the creativity and sincerity of music makers and we are all worse off for it.

i think she might be talking about the working/emotional aspect of it. it takes a lot of mental energy to be constantly reflecting on the hardest parts of your life, creating something entirely from scratch and having such high standards for yourself as well as from the world.

[@MightyMouse350]

hun, she's speaking of the song writing process which for her has often been about her heartbreaks, betrayal, regrets, - all the difficult times in her life. Millions of musicians write about their experiences in an unintentionally or intentional cathartic way which would be emotionally exhausting/draining - that's what she can't do all the time.
