I understand what you're getting at. I think Adele's talented, but she's not an exceptional talent. That said, I must say that I am more impressed with her vocal abilities this time around. I hear growth. As for her music, I found most of it to be pretty bland on '21'. This 'Hello' song is probably my favorite from her (along with 'Chasing Pavements' and 'Someone Like You'). Although we may disagree there, I see your point overall.
