Absolutely. There's been endless back and forth over whether Christina is the "Voice of our Generation" (she's not), and I'm glad Adele came around to show what it
actually means to hold that title.
It's a pretty huge deal to be called the voice of a generation. You better be firing on all cylinders.
Christina doesn't fire on all cylinders:
-Good voice, but misused to the point that Beyonce and Adele are now largely considered better vocalists
-Good voice, but apparently not good enough to keep Britney from destroying her sales
-Good voice, but not good enough to keep her from having to pull all sorts of ****ty stunts to keep up with Britney
-Good voice, but poor reviews (not a single album over 70 on Metacritic. Her "masterpiece" Stripped barely above Teenage Dream)
Adele fires on all cylinders:
-Good voice, and knows how to use it so that no one is considered better
-Good voice - in fact, so good that her voice alone has led her to outsell every single artist in terms of albums and singles, to take over radio, to score the biggest hit single in 25 years and what will be the biggest album since the height of music sales in 2000
-Good voice - in fact, so good that she needs no ****ty stunts to keep up with the likes of Katy, Gaga and Rihanna
-Good voice, and amazing reviews
The sheer power of Adele's voice and lyrics, and the emotion they evoke, have made her the biggest juggernaut the music industry has seen in over 10 years. She has it all - the best reviews, the most respect and the biggest sales. Christina never had that.
She is...The Voice of our Generation.
Edit: oh, and also, not a single person has said anything bad about her. In the indirectly shady words of Lady Gaga, "Adele is really sweet and lovely, and you rarely meet people like that in this industry."
