olgny, it seems you think Adele would be better suited to Norah Jones-type arrangements--or am I mis-reading? I'd like to hear Adele with that sort of backing, might be good.
bdp24, I'm a big Rondstadt fan (but not of her popular pop/rock years). I've always felt she suffered from wrong material and cookie-cutter arranging. It never occurred to me to point the finger at her, but you may be on to something. I love her more country/folksy material and her mariachi stuff. She does a great duet with David Hidalgo (of Los Lobos) on some obscure album.
