In reply to RCR81.

And who told you the artist that has the wider range in their voice is the best artist? You said it yourself, Adele´s tone is very enjoyable (I´ll tell you what it really is: extremely beautiful, and with THAT universal appeal). Xtina´s reinventions and artistry have been too all over the place, it´s not like she has been showing Madonna´s stunning evolutions. How many albums has Xtina released in 15 years? 4? I don´t know what to think about her artistry to be honest. I appreciate her. But Adele´s few universal classics is something that Xtina has never been able to write (not to mention I truly think Adele is more of a songwriter than Xtina, but anyway). I respect Xtina and was one of the few defending her here in this blog a few years ago when 98% just moked her for the sake of it, so in a way, all this convo is pointless :) Cheers!
