I wouldn't exactly put Adele's "19" in the same category as Amy Winehouse's "Frank" as some unheard of debut. 19's been in the top 40 on the album chart pretty much ever since 21 hit. Plus "Chasing Pavements" was a top 40 hit in 2008.

I've listened to both 19 and 21. In my earlier post I said I thought maybe she sounded like Kim Weston. I meant Kim Wilde.

Well that's kind of the thing though. "19" has been on the charts lately because of "21". Yes, it was reasonable hit before that (though I'm not so sure it did that great in the States), but it's more than obvious that "21" is overshadowing it.

Also, I have "Frank" (the deluxe version at that) and I can't say that I'm really a fan of it. I'll take "Back To Black" over "Frank" any day. ;)

You know...as widely spread in the music industry as she has become, I must say she definitely deserves it. 'Rolling in the Deep' is an extremely catchy song, and I absolutely LOVE her voice.

As many times as "Lovesong" by The Cure has been covered Adele's cover holds it's own and has her own unique sexy spin on it. Another homerun! :grinthumb

She's expected to have her 12th week at #1 next week with "21". The last female artist to spend that many weeks was Alanis' "Jagged Little Pill" 15 years ago.

I doubt I'll get into any of her other work, but I adore "Rolling In The Deep!"
