Adele

1) Love her name.
2) A voice that smacks the all-sound-the-same-too-many-auguilera-runs-and-screaming-cause-they-can't-sing women out there in the face. I know I can't sing, but really, where's the originality?
3) The way she sings establishes her as a classic voice like Etta James and Rosemary Clooney. Why oh why doesn't anyone sound like that anymore??
4) If only I could sing.

5) This. Song.
