Just to be clear, it's Eilish that is revolting to me, not Adele. Rolling in the Deep is fire.the fuck, why though?
I have your same taste, pretty much...but can appreciate what a lot of these people can do with their instrument, even if it isn't my thing. Not that we're comparing these, but for me I would take Adele 98% of the day and 2% would be Mariah Carey, with those names being tossed about. Mariah Carey has range...but I've rarely heard her sing a song that I want to hear, being sung by her, despite her obvious talent.
Adele, I want to hear her sing. Period. I want to just sit there and listen and whatever's happening I want to hear it.
It isn't the same with someone like Lorde or Billie Ilish or whatever we're talking about, but I get it--certainly more than I do if I heard someone that was into the same thing with Mariah. I dunno, that makes sense to me, lol.
Just a side note,.............

Like Mozart himself, Mariah has a way of making the whole far greater than the sum of its parts. One note here, one note there, a scalar transition here and there, but they count big time in the macroscopic effect. Her ability to leap also reminds me of how Beethoven could do a lot on the piano (The final movement of the Waldstein is one such combination of beauty and technical terror).Just a side note,
Have you seen MC's 1998 Japanese tour rendition of Dream Lover ? Perhaps not your favorite genre but I don't think a chanteuse has ever been a more commanding talent than in this particular production. Truth be told I also never get tired watching those background singers. My My.

Decided against seeing it so I read the plot synopsis on Wikipedia. Somewhat of a spoiler but it was definitely a good call delaying the film.
