No! Christina IS! followed by beyonce.
Adele has a good voice!!! she is pretty!! her album is doing more than great!!! but she wont last for ever!! i mean she doesnt have that IT factor, that will mantain her over there with the greats... she will fade in like 2 years or so...... no shade intended to her... Someone like you is my most played song at the moment... i cant get enough of her....but let be realistic..adele got 3 vmas...beyonce didnt get something... but still got more attention when she announced her pregnancy...

Adele is cool. She's talented and I'm proud to see she finally gets the recognition she deserves after her debut album has been mostly overlooked in favor to all the other emerging Brit newcomers from 2008 and 2009. 21 is a really good body of work and gives Ms.Adkins a lot of room to showcase her vocal talents, BUT I have to say that her vocal range is very limited. And you know what? I think Adele knows that and she doesn't really care. I would even see her as a kind of indie artist, especially with her first album, you can hear and see that quite clearly. Adele's voice and music is all about emotion. Her music mostly consists of heartfelt ballads, sometimes very rich melodies with a huge orchestra and sometimes a simple melody just with the piano and her wonderful voice. Yet to be considered "The Voice of our Generation" there is much more an artist has to show vocally than what Adele does. Like I said in NHB before, this thread only proves to me further that members like Duca and Haus_Of_Nicole, who represent their stanbases of Britney and Gaga and have a troubled relationship with Christina and us stans are trying all that they can to make look her unsuccessful, unimpactful, bitchy and well they write things where you could think they want to bring across she's talentless. It's no hidden shade anymore. No boundaries. Just blatant shade to keep Christina and her stans in place. So they take an artist like Adele or Gaga, who are not longer in the business than maybe 3-4 years, who are very successful right now and pit them against Christina. I mean, that happens all over the internet and also in the media, but does that justify that it can happen here without any consequences? We wouldn't always be so exaggerating and all over the top about Christina's achievements, if there wouldn't be at least 70% of ATRL who constantly bash her to the pits, where it's not even funny anymore. They make people forget that Christina "is" actually talented. If she's oversinging, uses a bad vocal technique or she isn't your cup of tea doesn't matter.
We didn't come up with "The Voice of Our Generation". Celebrities all over the world are mentioning that over a decade now.
Britney said she would love to have a voice like Christina.
Jessica Alba said she's the best singer on the Planet.
Justin Timberlake said she's the best singer of his Generation.
Whitney Houston said she did the best rendition of "Run To You" besides herself.
Celine Dion said she is the Voice of our Generation
Patti Labelle said she's a phenomenal singer
Ellen DeGeneres said she's probably the best singer of this Generation and for Generations to come
and that's just to name a few...
Her vocal range is about 4 octaves. She can do effortless falsettos. She even does the whistle register. Christina is the master of belting. Her vocal acrobatics are infamous. She's known to go up and down her vocal register. On the other side, she can be very emotional in her songs. She started crying while recording I'm OK. Linda Perry gave her Beautiful, because she was the right person, she had the emotional intensity to sing that song. She lives her ballads, she doesn't just sing them. And those are my ****ing two cents on this. |
Totally Agreeee!!!!!!!!

Certainly Beyonce and Gaga got the headlines.....but, crucially, Adele got the #1. Those awards ceremonies are about one thing - promotion of your stuff. Adele won the night hands down in that regard, even more so when most 'experts' were predicting the VMAs wouldn't be her kind of awards show, lol - and you'll have to wait for the Grammys to make the big impression. And when you can command such a reaction from the watching public with one stripped back performance, no gimmicks, no 'exclusive announcement' no vocal backing track etc, then it bodes well for the future. But write Adele off if you wish - many have in the past and it's come back to bite them on the derriere.

As an Adele fan and after what happened at the VMAs.....what would i have to be bitter about? You're going to have to explain, I'm afraid.

No, no. 
He's talking about fans of other artists hating on Adele. That's just ATRL talk.

I still don't understand why people think Adele won't last. I didn't understand it before, but now I really don't understand it. There it is again on this page - people acting like 2011 will be her explosion as well as her swan song.
Everything about her screams longevity.

How can you say it sounds NOTHING like that when Etta James never sung this song?  Inter The Sonn got confused with SGAHOM.
Bound To You is a orginal song written by Christina.
