Listen to Linda Ronstadt, Stevie Nicks, Lena Horne, Nina Simone, Billie Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, Karen Carpenter, Alicia Keyes, Norah Jones and more recently Lady Gaga, and many others before that judgment is made.

Re: Adele named best singer?

I love Adele.

 

She writes her own music, plays the piano and the voice is amazing. I always am impressed when someone can sing acapella as she can!

 

Total package. Total talent.

It's totally subject; she might be the "best ever" to some people and unlistenble to other people.

Adele is by far the best singer around today.  She doesn't need dancers hamming it up in the background,fireworks going off behind her.  She just gets up there and sings her heart out and it's wonderful.

Hello from the other side. 

I must have called a thousand times!


At least I can say that I've tried...Haaaa!  You & I soooo get it!!  You made my night!

Or wear WEIRD outfits to attract attention like the meat costume Lady Gaga wore.

I love music and have so many favorite female singers.  

 

Adele has some good songs, but I sometimes feel she sounds the same on many of them.   That song "Hello" has a nice melody, but why do all the stars of today have to yell when they sing?     

 

I took a liking for singers of the past from my parents.  They loved Sinatra, Judy Garland, Sarah Vaughn, Vicki Carr, Sammy Davis, Jr.    The list goes on.  So I'm spoiled.   

 

Personally, I think Lady Gaga is an exceptional singer and I enjoy her over Adele.   It's all a matter of taste and what is current.  But, the classics, you can't get better than those icons.
