It was never just going to be an issue at the beginning of her career, only for people to go "ok, well, we're used to it now, so I guess it sounds kind of normal." It's something that she's going to have to deal with for the rest of her career. Thirdly, what does Adele have to do with anything? Because she doesn't have a cockney accent when she sings? There's such a thing as "a neutral accent" when singing. Most singers' accents disappear when they sing, unless it's part of their singing style (e.g. Lily Allen). Rapping is completely different. It's spoken rhyme, so there is no neutral accent. She has to put on a voice when she raps and it's different to her speaking voice. Yes, this conversation has been had a thousand times, but like I just said, this issue isn't going to go away and it's something she's going to have to address for her whole career.

First, she is since 15 in the US, to want her to sing in an accent what you want is disgustingly offensive.
Second, we Germans have about 100 regional accents but 99% are singing in our high labguage and even most of our rapper are rapping in our high language, some with a little hint of their hometown accent, like Iggy.
I assume it isn't much different in France.
Let's artists express the way how they want to not how you want it, because you are a nothing, period.
PS
First crying for the mods, then discussing with me, these are my favourite posters, lol I'm offended, utterly.
