What makes adele so great

That's an insane number of albums. If you had any questions about whether or not Adele was a massive star who could keep her fans through another album, this should squash those. Adele has the kind of stardom that sells albums in physical copies—that can withhold her album from streaming services for at least a few weeks.

But why? What makes Adele so special? Why does everyone love her so goddamn much? There's a precious balance for female stars between being talked about, and being talked about. Just like Taylor Swift, Adele can rise to massive levels of popularity because she doesn't do anything to alienate conservative fans.

She doesn't dress provocatively, or make any kind of social proclamations with her music. It's kind of funny to call a woman who curses up a storm in every interview inoffensive, but Adele gets away with a lot of things because she's not American.

That swearing can be written off as a Brit thing. But it's also not in her music. Anything offensive and edgy about Adele completely evaporates into her songs about feelings. There is nothing about 25 that could possibly keep you from playing it in the car with your 5-year-old or in the living room with your grandmother. Even though 25 is easily Adele's most pop-y album, it doesn't "sound like modern pop. If you close your eyes and listen to her, you note that emotion.

Whether you like her sound or her music, she, for me, is a singer — and everyone can tell that. In late , Adele experienced vocal hemorrhaging that led to a canceled tour and required surgery. She returned to the stage only months later, at the Grammys, expecting the worst. Journalistic Standards. About The Star. More Entertainment. Top Stories. Despite its unmistakably Adele feel, it does mark some changes for the artist.

In this new saga, she is starting to reflect on the part she has played in her own shortcomings as opposed to her past projects where she mainly sings about the other person.

As a single, the track is a solid choice to show this—an admission of self-awareness as it concerns her naivete. Almost anyone can admit how fun it is to cosplay as a talented singer and see just what your voice can do.

It is essentially a challenge for any listener to copy one they will probably fail at! It also acts as a build up to the heart-grabbing emotional crux of the song : the bridge.

One thing about Adele, she knows how to make you feel the pain just as much as she does. While the song has received positive reaction, some on Twitter wished for an even stronger sound for such a big comeback, a sound that was a bit less familiar. I suppose it all depends on the next single—will she play it safe with piano keys and a voice?
