What the hell is this. Adele is not the best soul singer but she still is a soul singer. Some would say "blue-eyed soul".
And she's not appropriating too. It's not clownish or stereotypical it's just genuine. White face, black voice thing is true tho.

So blue eyed soul is cultural appropriation?
Let the sjw trend die, pls.

They can be grouped with their totals and still could never come close to Adele's numbers which is the real reason why they're so bothered and fuming about.

I haven't heard Adele music that can be called 'soul' since the 19 era so they have a point

Scratch it, music is cultural appropriation because it was invented by black people when whites weren't even on earth, so we should definitely stop listening to music because it's a sin.

MTE. I agreed with the article until the author said she didn't sing soulfully. Let's be honest: even though she's a pop singer, if Adele wants to sing soul, she can because she's got the voice for it. She showed she could with "Chasing Pavements," "Rumour Has It", her Sam Cooke cover...

But anyway, if I have to believe the opinions of a magazine writer or those of an actual R&B/soul singer (like Patti), I'll go with the latter.

Yeah, I've always considered Adele more pop than soul.

Patti also considers Bruno Mars a soul singer...
