She is the anti-Gaga. Real singing, no auto-tune, no need to wear shocking outfits that say, “Look at Me!”
...”I’m fairly unhip when it comes to the latest celebs,...”
Don’t sell yourself short. The less you know about the latest celebs the hipper you are.
I saw an interview with Adele last week in which she admitted to enjoy swearing. They showed some clips of her dropping several f-bombs. We don’t need another potty-mouth singer.
Here is a link to the Air Force band video of Adele’s song that went viral a few months ago. They even made it to Good Morning America and other such programs. I like the song and like this rendition even better.

My husband got the 21 album for me for V-Day yesterday, a complete surprise. I had told him that I liked her voice some time ago and he remembered :) Great album.
There is a FR thread claiming that she has said the reason her career took off was .....Sarah Palin.
Basically Adele has said that she was booked for SNL when Sarah hosted. Everyone tuned in to see Sarah and Adele’s career skyrocketed right after that.
