unrecognisable to anyone over the age of 30

Sounds about right -- no one over the age of 30 takes this kind of stuff seriously.

I say, Good On Adele. Tired of these celebrities pretending that they care more than everybody else.

Good for Adele. She’s got more talent in her little toe than the sum of these doofuses.

Did she get married to her Baby Daddy? Sure hope so. Lots of young women look up to her. She probably doesn’t need/want my advice, but it WOULD be nice! :)

Wasn’t the majority of the money and food stolen? I had heard that but could not confirm. Plus, Mike Peters from the Alarm wasn’t part of it so I didn’t care.

Adele is a British singer with some talent and a pleasant (to me) voice.

Bob Geldolf is and has been for a longtime, the British answer to John Gruber; smug, boastful, angry in victory, and priggish but very talented in a particular area of wonkdom.

Band Aid sounds like a Saturday Night Live skit. How stupid...

ummm, who is adele?

She's an English singer with a nice, smoky sounding voice. She's a big gal but wears it well. Pretty real, refreshing given all the artifice and auto-tune fakery in the music industry of today.

She credited Sarah Palin for launching her career and has said good things about her as well as Margaret Thatcher so she's not too big of a leftie. Her American debut was on SNL the same night Palin appeared.

If you want to hear two of her more popular songs, go to YouTube and look for Chasing Pavements and Rolling In The Deep.

there is a difference between do gooders and people who actually do good; the former want most to be recognized for “doing good” and the latter could care less who recognizes them or not

Once again, whatever money Ol’ Bob raises in his “Ebola
relief” Band aid thing will end up in the bank accounts of whichever African “strongman” gets his hands on it first.

How much money actually goes to save the common people there?

I think that group song bullsh!T is nothing more than a masturbatory monument to those singers.

Rolling in the Deep Adele is this generation's Shirley Bassey. She has a big voice and she knows how to use it. In fact, she did sing the last Bond theme song Skyfall.
