i hope you guys are getting familiar with her, cause she's a real diamond in the rough. her new album 21 comes out February 22 and it is incredible. it's so soulful i get chills reminiscent to that of when i first heard Aretha.

if you need some idea of what i'm talking about, check out the video for the first single Rolling in the Deep. this song is dark, bluesy disco gospel. it's incredible.

she's got soul, so don't sleep on her!

    she didn't win any Grammys for R&B. she won best new artist and a pop one.
    she'll hopefully get some more for this album. it's a masterpiece. seriously give 21 a listen before you take more shots at her.

    LMAO @ the adele hate. So name me some of these black soul singers that make better songs than her. Matter of fact name me 5 singers that sing better than her. Her music is very hit or miss to me but the songs I do like I like a lot. She's a great artist and I think she sounds better live than she does on a track...

    LOL yeah....the hate is coming mostly from

    1.) Racists who don't want to admit that she has more soul than a lot of black singers out right now

    2.) Salty stans of non-singing ass Pop artists (Adele is currently ? on them in every category...vocally, critically AND commercially LOL)

    3.) People who hate the fact that an average looking fat British woman is getting this type of praise. For some reason, happy and confident fat celebrities really irk people in this country. LOL It's ? ? if you ask me.


    but regardless of all that, Adele is winning. Haters can stay mad

    Hill St Soul, Goapele, Bilal, Raphael Sadiq, Erykah Badu, she is talented though, but white soul singers tend to get the push over their back counteparts in the Uk, thats why you would have heard of Adele, but you probably would have never heard of Lyden David Hall.

    Lynden David Hall, massive talent and a huge loss for soul music. Rest in peace.

    Innit, Britain has a lot of talented black soul/R&B singers but they always get thrown in the 'just another black soul/R&B singer' category and that's it. When a white soul/R&B singer rolls around however the praise comes flooding in: 'Damn that girl can sing', 'That girl has so much soul', 'She sounds black!', etc. There is the novelty factor of it plus the artist and record label doesn't have to worry about 'crossing over'. It happens every time. British record labels are hopeless when it comes to marketing black soul and R&B singers. It was the same case with black British Hip Hop/Grime artists until they decided to start rapping over Dance tracks instead.

    Adele just reminds me of the likes of Dido, Duffy and Susan Boyle: perfectly pleasant people but massively dull and nothing exciting or interesting about them or their music whatsoever. That is usually the type of music that ends up going on to sell millions, usually bought by the truckload from supermarkets by leafy suburban living types who don't like or listen to music but need something to play at dinner parties. Though I can't knock people for liking what they like, 21 to me sounds overpolished, packaged and ready to be pushed out as a product.

    I understand that, but people seem to take their frustration out on the artists instead of the industry.....you can't blame Adele, or Amy Winehouse, or Joss Stone for their record label pushing them instead black soul singers

    yeah...Rolling In The Deep is currently exploding on the charts over here in the US. It's definitely going to be a #1 hit over here within the next 2 or 3 weeks and it'll probably be played all summer long.

    Adele is overrated. She ain't doin ? that Amy Winehouse ain't already did....only difference is Adele is sober. They both good, but I personally prefer Joss Stone over of them both
