Argument by Definition, YouTube video of a song

"> Adele, Rolling in the Deep off of her album titled 21. To begin with, the actual definition of the word "good" has many definitions. Webster's II New Riverside Dictionary @1996 states that the word good means 'having desirable or favorable qualities,' and 'superior to the average.' There are other definitions however, these are my favorites that I would apply to Adele and her talents. Her music is soothing to ear yet you can get up and dance to it as well. 'Having desirable or favorable qualities' is the first definition of “good” to compare to Adele and her song "Rolling in the Deep." Not only the number one single of 2011, it received three Grammy Awards for record of the year, for best short form music video and for song of the year for 2012. I personally love this song for the lyrics and the deep spirit being filtered through the words themselves. She pours her heat and emotions into every word that comes of out of her mouth, not only in this song but in every song she sings. Adele's passion for her work is demonstrated throughout her album. Good music all the way around. 'Superior to the average' is the next definition of “good” to review and relate to Adele. Even with selling so many copies of her cds and singles, Adele is very humble about her work, taking awards with grace and forever thanking her fans. She may not be every person’s favorite artist but she exemplifies the word “good” over and over.

  1. I have never heard of Adele, but she sounds like a good artist. It really sounds like you enjoy her music especially her song "Rolling in the Deep". I also like to hear that she is humble about her work. To me that means she loves what she does, and she is not doing it for the spotlight.
