Jazmine Sullivan is the black version of her...fat, homely, sad, emotive, writes, and a better singer...yet she hasn't been able to get 1/10th of her success. Adele is not doing anything remarkable over her....but she is accepted for the way she is.
Her music isnt as accessible and black people dont support her music despite her talent so not really.
Yet she's still outselling everyone including Beyonce like it's child play.
Adele's success isn't that hard to pinpoint. She's genuine, talented, has a sense of humor, and she's not fame-hungry.
The fact that she can emote as well as she does is the secret ingredient.
She is this generations chosen siren.
Katy does a lot of this too except no one cares and she's 1/100th as successful. Adele's thing is not describable. She's extremely lucky and 21 was the perfect storm at the perfect time. You can't lay it out and tell everyone what the factor was.
19 went largely unnoticed before so it's not like she had some big brand to build on.
