The thing I've heard from a lot of REAL musicians, regarding Adele's voice, is that she is 'believable' in her deliveries...that being said, if you can connect with your audience(s), and they can identify, with the music, and even empathize with it, then the music works....and as Duke Ellington said, when asked if a piece of music was 'good', he said, "If it sounds good, it IS good."

Now, being as I've given TWO important premises for gauging singers and music, some in here might want to take note...especially when you find a lot of people who don't relate to some of the music, that 'political folksters' tastelessly sermonize through, and mistakenly think that the half dozen crackpots who agree with their 'political' blather, make up a great fan base!!!.....

...but I doubt it! Keep deluding yourselves!!

GfS

P.S. Adele kicked ass!!
