Brandy said it best, you are allowed to like more than one artist without the comparison. Adele's cd is selling because it is good, honest music. Why hate so much? People are loving it simply because it's not what your used to..... THERE ARE NO RADIO HITS ON THE CD..... at least thats not what she aimed for when she made it..... It's like she just wrote what she felt, whether it was crossover or not! And it happened to be successful.
