1. [+1,118, -53] 'Hello' is such a good song, it deserves all the records its setting

2. [+919, -62] And her music video isn't even anything stimulative like Psy's dance music video, Adele's of another class

3. [+564, -45] Records are meant to be broken. I also believe that Psy can reclaim that record soon too. Adele's new song is just too good.

4. [+432, -31] All of Adele's songs are so good

5. [+349, -19] If she had debuted in Korea, people would've told her to lose weight first

6. [+79, -10] I don't really like Psy but I think this is an unfair comparison. Adele, even before the release of 'Hello', has been known as the best pop artist of our time. Psy wasn't known as a Hallyu star back then, it was purely by word of mouth that his music video started getting views. It's an unfair comparison to make. 'Gangnam Style' also didn't get popular until the end of his promos in Korea. It was actually not as popular in Korea than his other songs too.

7. [+28, -1] I don't think it's fair to compare the two songs. The success of 'Gangnam Style' was even unique in Korea.

8. [+42, -6] The two comments are right, Adele's already known as a top star by the entire world but Psy wasn't famous at all when 'Gangnam Style' was released.

9. [+43, -7] 'Gangnam Style' was released on YouTube late too, it's not a fair comparison

10. [+34, -4] Can't believe Psy's even being compared to Adele now tsk tsk
