but no one in this current crop of singers is. IMO, Adele is this generations Aretha (if she doesn't lose her voice because of throat problems).

This young woman is a great singer, she only seems to be lacking the soul that you can feel in Adele's performance.

"if i'd wanted to hear adele, i would have bought her record"

still, it is impressive. the minimalist orchestration doesn't leave anywhere for the singer to hide.
