Adele, Matt Doran interview: Kyle Sandilands, Ray Hadley and Ben Fordham weigh ...

Australia's breakfast radio loudmouths all had something to say about Weekend Sunrise presenter Matt Doran's car-crash interview with Adele on Monday.

Talkback veteran Ray Hadley called the Seven host, 37, a 'blockhead' for failing to listen to the singer's album before their exclusive interview earlier this month.

2GB breakfast anchor Ben Fordham was more sympathetic, however, saying he felt sorry for Doran, who didn't realise he'd been emailed an advance copy of the LP.

Meanwhile, KIIS FM's Kyle Sandilands said he didn't see what all the fuss was about, arguing that no one wants to hear an artist talk about their new album.

Hadley and Fordham spoke about the Adele saga on 2GB, with both presenters having wildly different takes on the matter.

'I feel sorry for him because he is a very smart bloke, he is a very decent person and all he saw in his inbox was an e-card link to Adele and he thought it was some sort of card,' Fordham, 44, said.

Hadley, 67, countered: 'If you are going to interview Adele and she has got an album for the first time in a number of years… don't feel sorry for him. He is a blockhead.'

When Fordham said this wasn't fair, Hadley responded: 'You and I differ on many things in relation to people who are blockheads. I am telling you, he is a blockhead.'

Sandilands, 50, defended Doran on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, saying his lack of preparedness wasn't a big deal.

The shock jock admitted he rarely, if ever, prepares for interviews and just pretends to have watched TV shows or listened to albums when speaking to major artists.

He added: 'Why is everyone up in arms over this poor bastard?

'He's the Weekend Sunrise guy. He's not the normal go-to celebrity interviewer… he looks like a nice fella, too.'

When his co-host Jackie 'O' Henderson suggested 'the least he could do is ask a couple of questions' about the album after Sony Records flew him over to London, Sandilands fired up.

He said ordinary people aren't interested in hearing artists talk about their art; they just want to hear celebrities speak about their personal lives. 

'This is where record companies go wrong. They want the interviewers to ask all these detailed questions about the record that no one has ever heard. It's dumb… no one likes those interviews,' he said.

It comes after Doran apologised to Adele on Monday for failing to listen to her new album before interviewing her in London two weeks ago.

Doran's gaffe outraged her record label Sony, which refused to allow Seven to air the interview as part of its $1million package that also included broadcast rights to Adele's One Night Only concert and her sit-down with Oprah Winfrey.

The Weekend Sunrise host, 37, told The Australian he was 'mortified and unequivocally apologetic' to the British singer, 33, for being so unprepared.

Doran explained he'd missed the 'e-card' link to the album, so he wasn't able to listen to it after his flight from Sydney to London.

'When I sat down to interview Adele, I was totally unaware that I'd been emailed a preview of her unreleased album,' he said.

'I have since discovered it was sent to me as an "e card" link, which I somehow missed upon landing in London. It was an oversight but not a deliberate snub. This is the most important email I have ever missed.' 

Reports surfaced on Sunday that an 'offended' Adele had 'stormed out' of the interview, which was filmed by Sony rather than a Seven crew, after Doran told her he'd only heard one song from her latest release.

Sony responded by banning the network from airing any part of the interview during its One Night Only package, for which Seven had paid $1million for exclusive rights.

Seven executives were said to be furious and 'suspended' Doran for two weeks. He returned to screens on Weekend Sunrise alongside Monique Wright on Saturday. 

However, the TV personality disputed this, saying the Someone Like You hitmaker 'didn't storm out' and in fact agreed to speak to him for another nine minutes.

'Adele didn't storm out. In fact, it was the polar opposite. What was meant to be 20 minutes was extended to 29 minutes,' he said.

'The majority of the chat was about the album. I told her: "I've only had the privilege of hearing Easy on Me, but not the other tracks." As part of a long discussion about the new album, I remark that it would be reductive to say it's about heartbreak and divorce; instead, it's about empowerment and hope.'

Doran said he'd 'implored Sony to release the interview' and also clarified he hadn't been 'suspended' for the gaffe and was simply absent from Sunrise for one weekend.
