Adele: A Brief Music Pick of The Month

I was surfing through some comments of this singer "Adele" and I came across these two comments (the second one a response to the first). I gotta say it made me laugh outloud:
first comment
"[Adele] is like what would happen if Amy Winehouse, Anita Baker, Chrisette Michele, and Kelly Osborne all had one musical child. Then there's something that only [Adele] brings. This woman is to be looked out for."

Second comment following:
"That's kind of awful to tell someone that... I mean... really...."


And she is really. The first song I heard from her is "Hometown Glory" which got me hooked. I wouldn't go as far as to say that she is the love child of the four. Winehouse probably--although I wouldn't recommend having any babies with her at the moment seeing her current over-drugged state (great singer though). But I think that she's got a very powerful female voice that's often missed by the musical attaches. Most female singers nowadays are praised for their ability to hit high notes and break glassware. As for myself I prefer lower key notes. Such artist that would be compared to her are Lauryn Hill, Brandi Carlile, and Natalie Cole (well somewhat Natalie Cole, but only because at the moment I can't think of anyone else.

I managed to get Gay Henchman to play it for me on the piano many times until his fingers bled. But not to worry for those of you who still worry about his abusive treatment: he agreed and got paid for his time.
