No.  Especially after she butchered Bonnie Raitt's I Can't Make You Love Me.
She has an unreal range thanks to her flawless ability to jump up and drop out of a falsetto. Her tone set a trend for countless imitators. Her songwriting and lyrics are  as good as anyone out there and yes ‘Someone Like You’ will still be played in at least 30 years and likely well beyond. Just the rhyme ‘Never mind I’ll find’ is so unexpectedly perfect.  So yeah she’s the real deal. Anyone who can’t hear it is sadly too happy to be miserable. 
Daughters and wife played 21 nonstop and I admit I would from time to time belt out the tunes with them, and it was great fun, so yes, I guess I have to consider myself an Adele fan.  But I am even more of a Dan Wilson fan, going way back to his Trip Shakespeare days, so for this reason 21 does have a special quality to it for me anyway.  That being said, it does not sound great on my hifi, I think bc of the recording and compression but maybe it's my equipment (see thread re great music, bad recording, I should have cited this one).  Alison, Sade, Nora sing loops around her though and I will reach for records from these artists before Adele, assuming the she-folk are not around, and Amy Winehouse when they are.

Fun thread - now I have to check out Imelda May and cd318 that HST quote is crazy funny, I hadn't heard that before, thanks!  btw what does atifify mean?
She's one of the more overrated singers around these days. But she scores points for not being a product of the studio, i.e., auto-tune pitch correction (as far as I know). It's sad that, that's how low the bar is set for calling someone a good singer.
I honestly don't know why she's been dubbed such a savior of music,  but I'm guessing that because of all the over processed, low quality "talent" that passes for good musicianship, and their garbage songs, people are hungry for someone at  least halfway decent.
Todd segal...falsetto is NOT singing, and being able to go in and out of it is a poor excuse for lacking real vocal range. Her real vocal range is only average to below.
As I said, people are desperately looking for a messiah in music, and apparently they’ll look under ANY rock.
