Here she is our little Adele, Ella at Britains Got Talent, a 10mil viewer show, she got raving critics,
Although the video is pitched, I think we can say she did good.

ELLA, you're album better be frikin' AMAZING, like Adele and Amy Winehouse, because while your voice is stunning and your memorable performance of Believe stunningly beautiful, I still think you need to be a better songwriter (even though Missed was a lovely tear-jerker) because once your album hits stores, it will be constantly compared to the mighty Adele and very good material is just not good enough, it's needs to be magnificent, classy, raw, honest, beautiful, angelic, soulful, emotionally powerful, full-blooded, bold, deep and ultimately timeless!!! Ella Henderson, you need to realise that the angel Leona Lewis, even though she should be a mega star, is still not at the top of her fame because her material's been very meh. But unlike Leona, if your album goes wrong, that's it, because Adele's a record-breaking artist, a musical genius, and so was the late, great Amy Winehouse, you are being compared to the GREATEST, you need OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD FANTASTIC QUALITY. Ella, look I'm just not feeling The First Time and Five Tattoos, the lyrics are just so ... I don't know, you are exactly like Adele, with her songwriting ability and your full-blooded, beautiful, powerful voice with their emotional timber etc, just look at 19, I think you're at that songwriting capability stage now but most people that are comparing you have bought the Grammy-winning 21 album, so it needs to reach that standard. All of Adele's songs are masterpieces, even from 19, but all you need to do is, with an emotional, powerful, impacting tune in your head (like Ed Sheeran's A Team, Give Me Love, Amy Winehouse's Back To Black and Adele's Rolling In the Deep, Someone Like You etc.) and write from your heart or else imagine a heartwrenching situation etc, you also need to read award-winning poetry, stunning books like Anne Frank etc, Just do sophisticated but captivating songwriting, then let your brilliant vocal talent and hopefully mesmerizing production... as well as the simple, beautiful gospel, the cold depth, creeping silence and emotional power of a piano, the serene beauty of a harp, the tension-building command of drums, bass black African voices to compliment the darkness within the song, soprano voices for forlorn, eerie notes and so on; all of this to add layers of meaning or profundity or simply to mesmerizingly capture the listener’s concentration into what could potentially be a classic.
Her problem is her slurred sounding voice. She sings like she's drunk and you can't make out a word she's saying.
Her music still kinda slays though.
That's exactly my problem. I like her music, just not her voice. My favorite is National Anthem or Born To Die, though Young and Beautiful is pretty good too. I don't like any of Paradise :/
Apparently a member on the Adele forum thinks we all believe in that Xfactor garbage Also thinks we believe in everything that is posted about Adele on the internet. I'm annoyed with people who think we are so gullible just because we talk about it or post a thread about it. Have they ever heard of speculation?
I'm stressed out about finals :\ Tomorrow I have Drama finals, on Thursday I have finals for Health and English, on Friday I have finals for Geometry and Honors Physical Science..ugh..I think I'm going to ban myself this week..bye guys..I'll be back on Friday probably!

I get that you're frustrated Ichi, but you know yourself that just because people here discuss rumors doesn't mean that they believe them. That kind of discussion is just a fundamental difference in practice between here and adele.tv, two forums with their own set of strengths. Don't sweat it.
