I just can't listen to it, period. It's one of the most annoying songs I've ever heard. :/ Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard, and the chorus sounds juuuust a tiny little bit passive-aggressive.

I heard her sing for the first time on the radio while I was at work last week... and I cringed. It was like a slightly (slightly) more on-key Sarah McLachlan, who I can't stand because she sounds like a yowling cat being dragged backwards through a hedge.

That and the lyrics themselves were kind of whiny...

At work my boss has the radio on all the time, and this bloody song comes on at least twice a day. My ears, my poor ears.

I get your point about the lyrics. And it's on the radio way too often. But "her voice is like nails on a chalkboard"?

???????

To each their own, I suppose.

It's sorta okay at the deeper parts, but the chorus is just painful, especially when she tries to hit the higher notes.

Listen to the 8 bit version!

Man, I hate it too. The places she tries to go with her voice just don't work, and I can't stand the lyrics.

I kind of like her voice, because she doesn't sound as samey as a lot of other artists popular now, but I really don't like most of her songs anyway because I find the tune/melody/whatever boring as hell.

I just... don't like her voice /: No one seems to comprehend this.

I love Adele, but I can't listen to ANY of her songs without flipping my shit. It's playing fucking everywhere, in every cafe and shop, and this particular song is in every wedding! (I work with weddings, so I hear this song EVERY DAY. Note to people who are getting married: your song selections aren't original at all. I glare daggers every time someone says they will have this song playing at their wedding.)
It's great that she's popular, especially with her talent as a singer/song-writer, but GODDAMN I need a break. She needs to go away for a while, my ears are literally bleeding.

Seriously, people play this at weddings? That...is completely missing the point.

It's the 21st century version of Every Breath You Take.

What the hell. Weddings?

I love Adele, but I haaaaate that song. The chorus just drags and the lyrics are so annoying.

I take a tea pause at work whenever it comes up on the radio, I just can't stand listening to it.

I'm the same way with Nora Jones. I loved her first album, and then my ex got married and used one of her songs for his first dance with his new wife, and now I can't listen to her anymore.

This should be a non-secret bc let's be honest lol if you think you're the only one who experiences this

This secret just reminds me of this.

+1000

I was about to post that; I'm glad somebody else did before I had to hunt it down again.

Ugh, I know how you feel. This song and "Somebody that I used to Know" suddenly became really popular and were played everywhere around the time my ex broke up with me.

(And the following week someone was playing "Total Eclipse of the Heart" over and over again on the bus I took to a job interview. It was the worst.)

I love Adele, but "Someone Like You" is such a boring song. Occasionally, I kind of like it because I hear it so much I end up singing along, but mostly it's just so dull.

I think that's the idea! Like that SNL sketch that is the world's biggest GPOY. (That was me with Regina Spektor's "Samson" for the loooongest time.)

I love the song, and I love Adele, but OH MY GOD RADIO STATIONS PLAY SOMETHING ELSE YOU'RE STARTING TO MAKE ME HATE IT.

Seriously, why do you think that song was so huge in the first place? It may as well have been titled "Overly Emotional Break Up Song".

i simply cannot stand this song because it makes me think of my significant other's ex. i get that breakups are hard, but i feel my significant other's ex constantly references this song (and talks about how sad it makes her and the tears she's cried over this song) to make herself seem like a victim, which bugs me in particular since she was the one who ended the relationship, not my significant other.

(and before anyone thinks i'm bashing the breaker vs. the breakee, i'm not. i know it's rough on both parts of the relationship.)
