Astoundingly breaking the record by selling the most albums in a single year, Adele is a Grammy award-winning, 23 year old British singer-songwriter who I believe is one of the most truly talented and exceptional singers at the moment. Her album ‘21’, which includes songs like ‘Someone Like You’, ‘Rolling in the Deep’ and 'Set Fire to the Rain', has sold more than 13 million copies worldwide in 2011 alone.
To me, Adele definitely stands out unambiguously from the rest of today’s artists, as she possesses this remarkable ability that no other music artist really does – she can actually sing. Adele's music may not be my personal favourite to listen to, but I love watching her live performances as they can barely be lived up to by hardly any other artist (vocal-wise), and they genuinely show her pure talent. Her almost flawless live performances are amazing, as she sings with so much soul and essence through her intense and powerful voice, leaving spectators astonished and causing the hairs to rise on the backs of their necks. While singing she conveys her lyrics with so much passion, and a great deal of emotion reverberates throughout the room, as she makes you sincerely believe every single word with so much depth that you’re almost compelled to willingly stand up and applaud. So frankly, all Adele simply needs to do to earn herself a standing-ovation is to merely stand in one place and overwhelmingly belt the heck out of a song. That’s it.
No props, no gimmicks – just sheer talent. Those are the words that genuinely describe her performances, as she's a singer that I truly admire and believe is one of the most universally embraceable and gifted artists in contemporary soul and pop music.
