19

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.

Personal Favorites:
* Track 12: Hometown Glory
* Track 1: Daydreamer
* Track 3: Chasing Pavements
* Track 9: Make You Feel My Love
* Track 8: Right as Rain

Least Favorite:
* Track 6: Melt My Heart to Stone - put here simply because it is my least favorite, but I do not dislike it by any means.

I first saw Adele when she made her appearance on Saturday Night LIve and I, literally, stopped ehat I was doing and listened to her voice with my mouth agape. Her vocal style is absolutely flawless...and she was actually singing (not lip synching). The next day, I bought the album 19 and was, once again, floored with the amazing tone of her voice and how all of her songs would simultaneously get stuck in my head. I found a few live performances including a Live Video she shot for "Melt My Heart To Stone" and she was even BETTER live than on her album.

She may get compared to Amy Winehouse, but Adele has such class and control of her voice, and her songs filled with such passion and feeling, that I think that soon, Amy Winehouse will get compared to Adele...and Adele will blow her out of the water!

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!

I am a huge fan of all 3 and have all of the albums. It is not fair to compare them as we all have. But for me Adele's 19 has the most to offer. I absolutely love 2 songs on both of Duffy and Winehouse's albums. I cant get enough of 7 out of the 12 songs on the album. She is also much more enjoyable on stage than the other two as well. I look forward to hearing more!
I would like it if all 3 would be a little more upbeat. It must be a Brit thing. Between Duffy, Winehouse, Adele and Imogen Heap makes you want to slit your wrists. But I still love the Brittish output of music of late.

I absolutely love this entire album! I saw Adele on Saturday Night Live and was struck by her presence and her amazing voice. I bought the cd the next day and have not stopped listening to it!!! Every single song is rich and beautiful! The accompanying music is as rich as Adele's voice and compliments her beautifully! The theme's of the songs are also wonderfully real without being tragic. I love, love, love this cd!!!
