Rating: - Addictive
This is my new favorite CD. And not only mine, but people in my office have highjacked it as well. People who's musical tastes are completely different to mine love this CD. Can't wait for the next one.
Rating: - Hometown Glory
Possessing perhaps one of the most gorgeous voices to come out of popular music in recent times, Adele is full of soul and (perhaps most importantly) heart. If you want a change from the Britneys, Kellys, even Beyonces and Rhiannas, do yourself a favor and give this profoundly talented songstress a good long listening to. Her music may lack the synthetic pop polish of most female artists these days but I do not find that to be a flaw in even the smallest way.

Rating: - Very Talented....
I was thrilled to fine Adele. She's very talented and the more I listen to this CD the more I like it. She writes the songs, plays instruments and has lived the life she's singing about. I really like that she appreciates her chances at stardom and works hard. Anyone that compares her to Whiny Crackhouse is deaf. And what a huge insult to Adele. I'm a big fan Adele!
