[Poll #1312786]

*all polls will be open until the end of the year when official results will be posted.

And remember - send yr list of 10 top tracks to leagueofpop@gmail.com before the end of the year too.

but what's wrong with adele's face?

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

nothing! it's fine - most unfair to single her out for this. plus it's better than her voice and songs.

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I can only list what's been nominated!

[jauntyalan.livejournal.com]

unfair!

chasing pavements > adele face > adele voice

I feel like I am somehow involved in unfairly maligning Ms Adele by selecting this poll option, but I merely take the "face" reference to be a mirror to the musical heart of darkness soul. Her actual face, indeed physical appearance, is of little import -- I don't think I can properly recall what she looks like, tbh.

I assume it's that smug, pinched pout she does all the time rather than her actual potato-like visage, but I agree that her voice and songs are EVEN WORSE.

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

no way can 18yr old fat lass ever come off smug really - even if that many industry bigwigs have told her that her voice is incredible. she just looks really miserable and almost embarrassed in many photos.

still surprised at how they repped her so much more over Duffy. i am going to buy Music Week this week and we'll see what irritants they're grooming for Grammy noms next year.

Yes, it's that she always looks so bored and miserable.

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

i have never seen her being interviewed on TV unlike Duffy (altho i guess you can see why TV producers would prefer to get the latter on).

I was thinking it's that thing she does with her bottom lip when she sings. Which I will vote for, gladly, because STOP, ADELE. STOP. JESUS.

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Yes. This is why I nominated her face and not *her* - she spoils a reasonably talented voice with the Wandering Jaw and Eyebrow Wiggle thing that makes her look like she is repremanding a small child.

Saw her sitting outside the Electric, and she had the same super-miserable face on and I thought "Christ, she is like that all the time". Sometime later, I saw her again and she had cheered up and looked passably human. She's still rubbish though – her voice may be technically OK but she sings with zero life.

This made me laugh so much. Snerk.
