Jemini

Would '21' had been a hit if a true R&B (Brandy, Mariah, Whitney etc.) singer sung it?

No because it would be labeled R&B instead of Pop and no white people would've purchased it.

ADELE wrote every single song (except Lovesong) and sang them from her heart. No one else could replace her in that sense.

Not if Adele sent those songs to R&B artist to sing instead of singing them herself

Lol no. Same with Amy Winehouse songs.

And with that we can end this thread.

No. Adele was definitely meant to sing them. The songs productions probably would have been changed and it would have just taken the sound away that makes it so great. I can't think of anyone else pulling her songs off. She's a powerhouse.

Smooth

No and some of the users would have complained saying stuff like "another RnB singer doing ballads about love".

Y'all really don't give people credit...
People buy music they like and what's accessible to them.
Not everything boils down to race (like some in this thread are proclaiming).

probably. 21 has enough across the board appeal that it would become at least some kind of hit no matter what if people were exposed to it. assuming rolling in the deep would still be a big hit, plenty of people would've bought it.

FAME.

Chile please. If Jazmine Sullivan or any black R&B singer released 21, it wouldn't have sold 1/3 of what Adele did or been anywhere near as huge. ESPECIALLY not WW
