She's got a voice.

Posted that link in another thread, now just saw this thread.

Pretty amazing. I missed it originally on the radio the other day, but finally had time to catch up with it today.

Saw her first on Jools Holland ages ago. Amazing live, and I think she write all her stuff aswell.

I've only just got the last album, going through it now, fabulous voice.

Just ordered the album, must admit prefer listening to her singing live, such a quality voice

Not all... Her most recent release (Make you Feel My Love?) Is Bob Dylan's work

[okgo]

Anyone thinks she sounds a bit like florence and the machine front woman?

[missdiane]

For powerfulness yes, but that Florence woman's voice really grates on me, Fabulous voice, just not for me

[Jem0911]

Cleaner voice than F.a.t.m and better lyrically.

I thought I was the only person who found her annoying!

I cannot abide the Florence version of "You got the love" as she simply wails her way through it.

The "New Voyager" mix of the Candi Staton version is infinitely better.

Adele = Florence?

No offence intended, but you need to consider getting an hearing aid!!

Adele can sing, Florence only screeches....

[Stu R]

There is a hint of Florence there, but Florence annoys the bejeasus out of me by singing quite noticeably off key and screeching too much. Good music, but vocally Adele is another league above.

[tim2100]

She sounds really good IMO. Until she talks.

Her accent is really annoying.

Just listening to 21 - Turning tables, great track, but piano appears to have been lifted from Colorblind by the Counting Crows?
However, outstanding vocalist.

You won't be dissapointed with the album, the vocals are really raw - like they were recorded in one take and left well alone.

[soad]

Heard it earlier too - was rather impressed

[Slagathore]

Just a quick bump for anyone interested.

Tickets have just gone on sale on the Ticketmaster website.

[MATTP77]

her BRIT award song was incredible.

[Penny-lope]

Glasgow tickets are sold out already

[eightseventhree]
