What do you guys think of Oleta Adams?

I fell in love with Oleta's haunting voice the first time I heard "Get here" back in the day....Her voice is so Rich, Clear & Strong...She's covered some great Gospel songs and her Christmas songs will have you blasting the car stereo...Television has used her recorded songs as the backdrop to many things but I feel she's so underrated it's a Crime...

She's very underrated. She and Regina Belle remind me of one another.

I first heared her with Tears For Fears. Haven't been keeping up with what she's been doing. I remember her as a good singer, nothing more, nothing less.

Terrific vocalist. I saw her perform several years back and she was wonderful.

Her vocal on Tears for Fears' "Woman in Chains" is stunning.

Very rich voice indeed. Love it. When I saw her live Paul Peterson was touring with her on bass.

Love Regina Belle..Regina's recent Gospel Album got major play on Gospel radio...She married a Pastor and is currently the 1st Lady...I think she recorded the album LIVE @ their church..
