These new artists are so bland and lack talent. Where's the good stuff, really?
**just an opinion; yours may differ**
Oh yes, mine differs greatly.
I can kinda see why people wouldn't totally dig Cee-Lo Green's old-school jazzy R&B for their own lame reasons, and I admit Bruno Mars does tend to oversing songs that don't call for so much UMPH, though he's still a solid performer...
But ADELE not talented?!?! Are...is this a late April Fools Joke?! You put HER in the same list as Swiftie and Gaga and Nicki and Lil Mama (who hasn't even MADE a song in years) and....
No. Just. Wow. You're gone insane and your mind has been transported to some strange alternate dimension where Adele isn't one of the most naturally gifted young vocalists today. Even if most of her songs usually have to do with some sort of heartache she went through in a relationship gone wrong, she has that powerful, soulful voice that makes you completely feel every bit of emotion (well, apparently not you, since you're a music communist hating on Queen Adele  ). And with songs like Someone Like You, Hometown Glory, Make You Feel My Love, and a number of others, the studio and live performances are damn near indistinguishable, with just a piano and her voice belting out awesomeness effortlessly.
And the only comparison between Amy Winehouse and Adele is that they're both British.
That's. About. It.
That's like comparing Justin Bieber to Elvis just because they're both teenage pop icon sex symbols of their time whose music was white-washed from a style that came from lesser known black musicians before them.
*coughcough*
So..yeah. You don't gotta like her, but to say she isn't talented is just...just silly.
