and to think that vocally she sounds like Daniel Beddingfield?

She's good but I'm suffering a bit from adele over saturation at the moment so I'm rapidly going to go off her.

There should be a law stating how many times radio stations can play one song in a 12 hour period.

I love manufactured tripe, I love Rihanna, I love crappy hip-hop, I love Adele, Robyn, Florence, Lily Allen, the whole crew. I love popjustice, basically.

What I do not love is precious music types wringing their hands about how music is only 'real' if the person wrote it themselves/if it was recorded twenty years ago/if it features a twenty minute theremin solo.

Love her. Homegrown talent. Writes her own stuff. A "bonny" lass (not skinny Girls Aloud type with shoulders like a bloody coat hanger).

And, the new "21" is fabulous!!

I dont like her

hehe at comparing her to Stevie Wonder and Nina Simone. Lets see in 20 years hey - I think she'll be remembered about as much as Kate Nash and KT Tunstall - ie not at all. And she does sound a hell of a lot like Mr Beddingfield. When she was on Comic Relief the other night I thought it WAS him until I looked at the telly.

I'm Adele-d out. Overrated, I think. This is my opinion though, I understand why she appeals to so many but my taste is very different.

I think she is great. I love her voice, it is so soulful, beautiful. She is naturally talented and doesn't need embellishment or sexy hard-sell.

I love her, she's so talented and seems so down to earth :)
