Vocals aren't everything
Adele is a far far better songwriter, and musician in general.

You're a singer....Like, your purpose is to use your vocal cords, but vocals aren't everything?

This is what this generation of music has come to. Half assing your 'talent'.

If she doesn't have the impact of Michael J, Whitney, Mariah, she will be forgotten. You really have to have legendary status to have people dock you as a substantial moment in history.. regardless of your selling digits, at least GP wise. That is the biggest difference between Adele and Whitney. Whitney gained legendary status without depending on sales to do it for her. The era when talent was an actual dependable factor in gaining success. This will eventually die off like the Taylor hype.

But that's exactly why Adele will be remembered. She's one of the very few mega-talented mainstream artists nowadays in a cesspool of manufactured, blatantly untalented, pop stars that happened to win the genetic lottery in terms of looks. She is so much more than just "hype"....

Well that's an interesting way to explain it. Lol.

I would feel more comfortable with "Celine Dion" of our generation. Whitney & Adele just do not share the same technical vocal ability.

I agree!


Honestly, pop is in such a dismal state that everyone else makes Adele look like Whitney.

Are you denying that Adele is talented?

Sorry, but she could nevah

[boy-in-stereo]

What a joke. I mean Whitney's voice makes Adele look like an amateur by comparison. I'm offended and I'm a massive fan of both ladies. But.... Just no.

Do you not think Adele is super talented? Please give me a list of female popstars in this current generation that have more talent than her....

NOBODY on ATRL thinks she is Whitney Houston. But to call her untalented is really ignorant and kind of delusional tbh

[Toxic_Lover]

The hell type of **** is this?

[starstruckaj]

Adele comes nowhere close to touching Whitney. I know what they were getting at but they know this was a bit of a reach.

The fact that people are saying that Adele is making no impact while she is breaking every records possible in a time when streaming and piracy are dominant 21 would be on the top of the list of best selling album of all time considering how much the music market has changed since Thriller.

Like Adele had a really unique tone/timbre to her voice, which she still
Has to a lesser extent. Sure she's able to emote and write relatable songs, but she doesn't excel in any area. She's good or very good at singing, songwriting, performing, etc. Whitney though she didn't have a huge part in writing her songs was and is so far superior in terms of musicality and interpretation and virtuosity vocally that she literally destroys virtually any vocalist in pop music. Adeles performances this era especially have been mediocre at best. She's been pitchy and shrill, and she doesn't really have any career-defining performances aside from the Brits at this point. Like she's NOT ALL THAT. And I say this as a fan. Whitney was on a completely different planet. Adele never improvises in her performances, a true testament of musical
Ability. Even Amy destroys Adele in that department.
Like you guys are so effing delusional it's not even funny at this point.

I didn't say she was untalented, but to say her talent is what garnered her success is where the conversation goes left. Lol.

This makes no sense. Whitney was not a songwriter. Therefore, no kind of comparison can be made. That's like saying "Albert Einstein is a better physicist than James Watson". Duh. James Watson isn't a physicist, the same way Whitney Houston isn't a songwriter. They are, however, both singers and Whitney was and is the better singer.

Vocals aren't everything? So why do artists SING songs?

You are really asking this question to a Taylor Swift stan?
