Unpopular opinions

Every year my FB memories remind me to bring this up…
Amy Winehouse was a far better singer/songstress than Adele is.
Good unpop. You’re wrong of course, hence the good unpop status
-
Adele is more popular, but she absolutely doesn't have a better voice or music.
Kinda the same how Levi's is more popular than Iron Heart…..
I dunno. I think Adele has an amazing voice. I was never into Amy Winehouse but this is the unpop thread so I guess it's all subjective. I will admit that when I see concert footage of Adele's shows I find them cringeworthy. It's nothing but a sea of Bic lighters

I wish Germany had beaten South Korea yesterday

unpop: Anonymousism socks are overrated. Every single pair i've purchased now has holes in them. Think i'll be buying Darn Tough in the future

Happened to mine too.
I hate Amy Whineshit (proper unpop)

Winehouse was a visionary who did things I've never heard vocally and brought back organic soul music into the mainstream in an era of computerized, sequenced music.
Adele is the latest in a long line of talented singers-songwriters. She hasn't really changed anything as far as I can tell, at least on the scale of Winehouse.

Imagine my surprise when what I thought to be someone who looked like Mahalia Jackson turned out to be a young, skinny, White, British drug addict….

I remember the first time I heard her. I was blown away by her range and couldn't understand a word she sang. I didn't know what to make of it but I liked the song ("Tears Dry On Their Own"). The doc "Amy" is worth a watch as well.

This is no longer an unpop. Too many people agreeing. @UnTucked you really ought to edit your post
Adele’s songs just hit me in the right place. Lines up nicely with my depression. -

Is she though? I'm not sure…

Sports fandom is a collosal waste of human energy and capital, and a pointless drain on resources that could better be focused on much more important things.

George Orwell wrote the same sentiment almost 70 years ago in «1984». He was basically reformulating Marx’s idea regarding religion being the opium of the people, but specified football.

Not much of a leap given the fervor and us v them mentalities inculcated by sports. And yes,sports can also bring people together, but generally together against some other. In fact people often draw the comparison if not downright stating that sports is a, or their, religion.
I'm slowly letting go based not on trying to, but having other pursuits that are more meaningful to me. I will always cherish having witnessed some wonderful sports moments, but it feels good to focus on other things that I've realized are much more meaningful to me.
