Seems that this chick Adele is getting rave reviews and people are pimpin' her like crazy...Some say she's the new Amy Winehouse. I'm listening to her "19" album and I am impressed. She's no pop tart. Opinions?

Here's a video from her:



Here's some info about her taken from the Wikipedia:

Adele Laurie Blue Adkins (born 5 May 1988 in London) is an English soul and jazz singer. She is the first recipient of the Brit Awards Critics' Choice, which was given to artists who at the time had yet to release an album, and the Sound of 2008 title given by BBC 6 Music.Adele has also been hailed by the British press as "the new Amy Winehouse".

Adele's first public singing performance was in a school presentation wherein she sang Rise by Gabrielle. To make her look like the singer, her mother made an eye patch with sequins, which she said was embarrassing. Adele then claimed she was influenced from the music of Etta James and Ella Fitzgerald at her teens by accident, as she stumbled on the artists' CDs on a local HMV store while looking for a new hairstyle. She only got to listen to those songs for the first time as she was clearing her room.She graduated from BRIT School in Croydon in May 2006, which was the same performing arts school attended by Winehouse, Katie Melua, Leona Lewis and Kate Nash. A month later, she published two songs on the fourth issue of online arts publication PlatformsMagazine.com.[4] Since then Adele has played in small UK gigs, and has toured with best friend Jack Peñate, as well as Jamie T, Raul Midon, Devendra Banhart, Amos Lee, Keren Ann and the band Exist. Adele went on her first UK headlining tour in October 2007.

Adele's first record Hometown Glory, in which she sings the praises of Tottenham, was released on 22 October 2007 as a limited edition 7" vinyl on Jamie T's label Pacemaker Recordings, with B Side Best For Last. Hometown Glory was featured as the single of the week on iTunes. Since launching her MySpace page on Christmas Eve 2004, Adele became popular on the site which she used as a media focus and test point for songs. She then signed to independent music label XL Recordings, which in January 2008 released her second single Chasing Pavements.

Adele performed Daydreamer on BBC2's Later With Jools Holland, alongside Paul McCartney and Björk; and then on BBC1's Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on 7 December 2007, singing Chasing Pavements. She also received strong airplay from BBC Radios 1 and 2.

IT REALLY FUCKS ME THAT WHEN I MAKE A THREAD WITH CONTEND OR OFF INTEREST, PEOPLE DON'T POST. ALL OF YOU ARE SHALLOW...THERE'S A WORLD BEYOND MJ, JANET, MADONNA AND MARIAH....

Just some music company jumping on the Winehouse bandwagon

She's ok, I've only listened to Chasing Pavements, but so far she seems promising..

I think she's sounding more original than strange-faced Aimee Duffy

I really have to say that I saw her video (the one with the "dancing shadows") on All Music a few days ago and I was blown by her passionate singing. I really like her, but if I bought everything I like, I'd be broke in 2 minutes

She's not bad and her voice is pretty good. I haven't heard a lot of her music, but from what I've heard, I don't mind her.

Her album is boring, though she's not kate Nash annoying....
