She has one of the most unique voices in pop, has the attitude of any of the so-called pop divas, she has a style reminiscent of soul and country (and refreshingly like Amy Winehouse too), and she just is amazing.

She very well deserved her 6 Grammys and 2 BRITs.

Got tired of constant listening to her songs on the radio.

That made me dislike her voice.

It is strangely the same with me.

I can't even listen to Someone Like You anymore. Still, I'm more than happy to listen to her non-single songs.

I also enjoy listening to Adele, did anyone see her get speech taken away at the [b]BRIT[/b] awards?

I did. Adele got cut off and she pulled the bird at the organisers who told James Corden to cut her off.

Also, FIXED your message.

She's probably the closest thing we have to the vocal icons of the 30s and 40s, but showboats far too much and writes four-chords songs. An inferior Amy Winehouse, who is in turn an inferior Fitzgerald or Holliday. I think Adele is boring and has terrible diction.

You sir, have very high standards. Nobody is as good as Fitzgerald.

High standards produce a lot of quality, but little quantity - which is nothing like the kind of stuff we get nowadays.

I can't really see the comparison between Fitzgerald and Adele. Both are completely amazing in their own right.

Adele is basically a more modern, edgy version of Fitzgerald (with far more pop and Motown influences). In the modern age, I'm willing to say that there's a certain acceptance that hardly any singers or artists in this age will be at the level of the 30s and 40s jazz and swing singers.

But we know that they can come pretty damn close - we have Winehouse, the modern equivalent of Holliday, perhaps, or Florence Welch, who without all the annoying editing seems like a modern Mary Travers. Even Gotye shows loads of lovely Bowie and Floyd influences, not to mention a penchant for brilliant writing.

There are still good musicians out there if you look hard enough. You just have to look very, very hard.

Well, although I've only heard "Rolling in the Deep" and "Someone Like You", I really appreciate her voice. But I can't say I love her so much. She's just a talented artist. Compared to Adele, I love Taylor Swift more. She's more genuine, and she's not like other celebrities, she's just like a friend or sister to us fans. I can truly understand Taylor's popularity among teens.
