Some may have a little more range. But Adele's voice is indeed great. There is nothing overrated about her. She's just the only one doing what she is to the level that she's doing it. Her album is awesome! She has a universal tone & she has the "IT" factor. She can captivate an audience, something that very few can, when it comes to strictly singing. She is amazing. Never mind the comparisons. People complain too much. You get a great singer that actually releases amazing music & it still isn't enough..
