* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is "Someone Like You" a touching song about accepting the person you love is moving on (though her true inspiration is her cheating boyfriend), or is the song a textbook example of SuspiciouslySpecificDenial? The latter is popular, earning Adele memes of her being portrayed as a ClingyJealousGirl and stalker.

** This continued with 25. While it has received some harsh criticism (especially from the Beyhive due to a perceived AwardSnub at the Grammys), the album proved to be even ''more'' successful while maintaining similar acclaim and performing a clean sweep at the Grammys, winning every nom it received (including all three major categories)

* {{BBW}}: She doesn't have the sassy attitude associated with the trope, but her chubby looks is part of what endears her to a big part of her fandom, and she goes for a classier, more classic aesthetic when compared to her raunchier contemporaries. And whether you're into her body type or not, pretty much everyone agrees she has a ''gorgeous'' face.



* IncrediblyLongNote: There's one in the middle of the first verse of "Rumour Has It". Listed under YMMV because it's only six counts and trails off at the end -- long, yes, but not exactly eye-popping.



* YoungerThanTheyLook: Does she ''look'' like she's only 27? She doesn't even ''sound'' like she's only 27. She sounds like a 47-year-old, having gone through four bad marriages, three different rehabs and two health scares. To make her appearance-age discrepance weirder, Adele, Music/{{Rihanna}}, and Music/TaylorSwift are all the same age!

* NarmCharm: Good lord, if half her songs were sung by someone else, it would come off as whiny. But Adele has such an amazing voice, that you believe every single word and every single vocal inflection. She could sing the back label of a toilet cleaner bottle and it would sound like the most profound thing ever.
