She is belting out from the top of vocal chords in an attempt to Imitate to soulful vocals that are flawlessly delivered by Aretha, Patti & Nina Simone amongst others. Her voice does not naturally lend itself to that type of singing which is why she damaged her vocal chords years ago and had to cancel her tour. She cannot consistently deliver nor can she tour.

And what has being gay or black got to do with expressing an opinion, you filthy kûm-guzzling racist uncle-tom? I've left nothing but positive comments about Adele, HOWEVER I will still judge her in the same manner that I judge all of the artists on here. Excuse the essay, I just really needed to drag you all the way of your high-horse.
