Congrats to Adele...she deserves it.....bt as talented as she is, m afraid the same 'curse' tht has befallen the likes of Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse (R.I.P), Norah Jones, Susan Boyle, Leona Lewis is goin to become true for her as well..all the aforementioned ladies experienced the same high she is having ryt nw,the great sales, critical acclaim and talk about 'them finally bringing 'real' music back(whatever tht is, cz i believe 'realness' of music is subjective, jst like all the other forms of art).....however all those ladies came and went, nd hv never enjoyed the same level of success...whilst their so-called less-talented, sex-selling counterparts are still here going strong.......this kind of thng usually happens once in a while, when the buying public, i guess, tries to convince themselves that they are not as superficial as they really are deep down....m sure ths time next yr thngs wl be back to normal, with another 'talentless' pop star topping the charts
