In reply to Stephy..

I agree. Adele is literally the last standing female balladeer of in the pop music realm. I don't use her at all but she's alone in her lane. Shame about Mariah's voice though. I didn't grow up her but was introduced to her work with TEOM (like most of us in the younger generation were). Her catalog slays! Eh, she has nothing to prove anymore and has solidified herself as a vocal legend. Such was the case for Whitney.
