Ummm yea, Adele >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> IDC if you're a fan or not, Beyonce has no soul whatsoever in her singing. This is why she's better at doing upbeat songs. Ummm and since when did not having a top 20 hit make you less talented? I find it more inspiring that people like Alicia keys, Mary J Blige, and Adele debut with extremely high numbers and go on to sell platinum when their music isn't even played on pop radio. That's how you know you're a talented artist and people care about your music. I'm can't wait for Jennifer Hudson's release (who sings better than all of these people mentioned, and Alicia Keys needs to come back out, I miss her. I still here Speechless even though it's not a single.
