This marginally talented supremely irritating women has her screeching voice on radio station 24/7-if I left every store where her bleatings are broadcast I'd soon go hungry.

You find it impossible to ignore background music? How do you function in the big world? Must be difficult to go outdoors with all of that background noise of traffic, birds, other people, etc.

Earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones might be a solution, or brain surgery.

I adore Adele's talent. Her voice is unique, and more importantly, REAL.

Yeah, the main stream 'music' industry is about image, not voice, and every once in a while, someone like Jann Arden or Adele pops up, people who can sing, and aren't the entertainment industry image of what a female singer is supposed to look like.

I haven't. But then again I don't listen to commercial radio stations. I do however, shop as my credit card bills remind me each month.

Just to hear for myself I brought up her Youtube site and listened to a few tunes. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Probably not enough to buy any of her music, but it did not have the fingernails on a blackboard effect on me that jazz, rap, and hip-hop has.

I'll probably give her songs a bit more of a listen later to see if there is anything I like among the twenty odd songs that are posted.

I'm going to amend this post. I listened to the One and Only and give it a five out of five rating. Thanks for pointing out this artist.

Never heard of her either. Just checked out youtube and I am with you Bar Sinister, pleasantly surprised. I have always liked that bluesy sound in a female singer. I just loved Janis Joplin's singing. But I do think that style may be hard on the voice. Of course Janis' voice may have been modified by the whiskey. My favorite;

Another Little Piece of My Heart



And she weren't no beauty queen either, but so what?

Adele is quite good.

She's also demanded that everyone who scores a free pass to her shows hands over at least £12.50 to charity.

Unlike many of today's female singers, especially the American ones, Adele sells record because of her beautiful voice rather than her beautiful looks. That's the way it should be. She's a singer, not a supermodel.

One of my favourites as well. Quite amazingly Melissa Etheridge does a great cover of that song. But then, both Melissa and Janis made it on talent, unlike some modern pop divas.

While Adele isn't my cup of tea(music-wise), her songs aren't as bad as some people say. It's not her fault that some radio stations overplay her songs. As far as looks are concerned, she's not bad looking either.
