She can sing better than that idiot, too!
Bottom line--whose "product" are you more likely to buy? That noxious jerk's, or Adele's?
How soon they forget...!

(41,832 posts)Speaking to Metro, the 78-year-old discussed what he thought about new singing sensation Lana Del Rey, before going on to spill all about his views on Adele.
He said: 'I prefer Adele and Florence Welch. But as a modern singer she is not bad.The thing at the moment is Adele.
'She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice.'
But although Karl prefers Adele's music, he is keen on Lana's looks.

He looks a right numpty in that top photo. Of course he prefers women to be skeletal, with no chest, no hips etc - to show off his clothes - bring on a designer that can dress REAL women!!

(9,350 posts)AT&T runs a commercial for their U-verse programming in which there is this guy who is a movie villian. The point of the commercial is that the action is so real you think you are a part of the show. Each time I saw the commercial I thought I had seen the guy before but just could not place him. Now I think I know who I was thinking about.
In terms of Adele; she is a great deal better than some of these skinny girls who cannot sing. The fact that she sings well is what matters. People like Karl Lagerfeld (though they has a right to their opinion) are probably part of the reason their are so many skinny female singers with albums who cannot actually sing.

(16,207 posts)She'll cry all the way to the Grammy Awards, right after she cashes her latest royalties check. Right after that, she'll make her way into the studio for another huge-selling CD.
She's an amazing singer. I hope she doesn't give Lagerfeld a second thought.
BTW, when was Lagerfeld relevant? The 80's? He sure isn't now.

(8,646 posts)somewhere (can't remember) that she said she'd rather weight 300 lbs and put out a phenomenal album than weigh 100 lbs and put out a shitty record. lol.

(61,619 posts)It's a disgrace how thin the catwalk models have to be to get work now. They are endangering their lives, and the entire fashion industry is promoting a very unhealthy representation of women's bodies to the world.
Adele is beautiful and looks very healthy to me.
Hence the reason I posted this...

(13,421 posts)Meh... He's got his opinion and welcome to it.
Personally, I am tired of seeing only women in the media that look like a few bones covered in skin. There are a lot of us out there with a real set of boobs and a butt to go with it. There is no "ONE" perfect body type and everybody just needs to get over the idea of anorexia as the norm. Our daughters would be a lot happier and healthier if that ever happens.

(27,630 posts)So it's not a surprise he said that. Sure, Adele would be too fat to be a runway model but I haven't heard her say she wants to be one. Jeez, not everyone needs to look like a rake.
Plus it was rude of him.

(18,541 posts)but that didn't keep her from having one of the most beautiful voices ever.
And what's the longevity of the women in YOUR field Karl? Once the looks have faded due to puking, drug and alcohol use, a new flavor of the month comes along or, Dog forbid, they gain a pound, what have they got to fall back on? Certainly not a great set of pipes.
