People put her in a pedestal not because she is a great vocalist but because of the style of music she does. Beyoncé for example, whos a great vocalist, but people dont think she is just because she used to sing pop ish songs early in her career. Same goes with gaga in her first albums but now we know what shes capable of.

This is a flat-out lie. For years many people praised Adele as a vocalist for her assumed vocal ability, skill and technique... Ability skill and technique that was quite literally never there. She is a good singer...........that's it. There's literally nothing impressive about her vocally. She does not have a unique way of singing, she does not take risk. Shes a good singer with a good sounding voice. That's all she's ever been. Singers like Kelly Clarkson take more risk and have a more distinct way of singing and singers like Carrie Underwood have far more impressive vocal abilities yet I've never heard the general public speak of their talent the way they speak of Adele.

Adele isn't an amazing vocalist, but she is an amazing singer. Her voice is extremely memorable, she can almays put emotions while singing and makes us feel whatever the songs wants us to feel.

For me, Adele doesn’t even need the ability to sing with the greatest technique possible because for me the beauty with her is the incredible songwriting and storytelling she’s able to convey through her singing. The way she can tell a tale, sing about her own experience and memories and make you feel like it’s a vivid one of your own is.... incredible.

[@faithkayy]

Perfectly put! Based on vocals alone she is not my absolute fave but her craft is incredible. Her voice doesn’t do everything on paper that other big voices do but the way she uses her voice to tell her stories is so powerful and moving.

[@312348]

That’s exactly how it should be, and I’m not even crazy about Adele but I respect her as an artist and I like her voice. If we just wanted “perfect” vocalists then we would pretty much only ever listen to opera (which by the way I love, haha). But some of the greatest albums of all time have been made by less-than-stellar vocalists, while some of the greatest vocalists out there don’t have a single legitimately good album (or even song, lol) to their name. Then of course, there are those who have neither good voices nor good music and somehow magically find themselves at the top of the charts, but that’s a whole other issue that shows more the flaws in humanity as a species, and I won’t go into that. xD

I have to agree with most of the comments here. She’s an amazing artist and a great singer, but being a great artist and singer does not mean she’s a great vocalist.

Adele has a really gorgeous, soulful, warm tone and a middleweight voice (not too brash or overpowering and not too dainty) that's strong enough to compliment her storytelling; and I think that's enough for her to sell her music. I think many people in general do still love that era of power ballads and those diva belters. Since Adele is one of the biggest artists from this generation that reminds them of that era, she's inevitably being compared to them. Adele's tremendous commercial success has led to her being put next to the musical greats or the top notch vocalists because like most of them, she has a distinctive voice and a consistently quality musical output. However, it's unfair to those legends and Adele herself because 1. they're trained differently and have more polished technique / better musicianship 2. Adele knows her strengths and limitations, never claiming to be more than a singer-songwriter. Nonetheless, I think she has a lovely voice that can still grow in range and versatility (there are many singers who enter their vocal primes after 30 or even 40) and hope that she will continue to achieve success with her upcoming release.

I know pretty many people who find her absolutely overhyped. It's the media and the marketing industry that got her where she is now. I've seen singers of school bands who were more talented and more authentic

[@nelsoncastante]

I just missed her. And we missed her so much. Thats it.

[@rydercdaniels4475]

Adele does just enough to be labeled as a “great singer” due to her power ballads and stripped down approach to singing but not enough to be labeled as a true “vocalist” especially when she’s pretty limited. Just my 2 cents on her vocals. She sticks to what she knows and does just enough to give us good vocals

[@abrahamjean8176]

Her voice is more special in tone and uniqueness then it is in technical skill if that makes sense.

[@HairMakeupSkinBody]

Yes

[@atolm1]

imagine if she had both...

A husky and dark voice, because smoking since she was a teenager( what a good example), cigarettes masculinize the woman, and make the voice heavier.

@@atolm1 she coudn't be a big vocalist she always lose control in her shows !! But i can say Jessie J is mega vocalist and a singer !! Her voice is out of this world she deserve more attention she's the only who can sing nowdays!!

[@atolm1]

@@yassinelkhammar2656 Jessie J has a horrible screechy tone and has to make a run out of everything she sings, I am NOT a fan. The only one who can sing? Have you heard Morissette Amon? She's the best female pop singer in the world right now IMO.

[@salcruz1560]

Adele is not an overrated vocalist her voice is unique… she doesn’t need the runs and the high whistles… everyone has their own vocal ability… Adele has a voice that touches your heart not only cause she sings with emotion but her writing ability resonates with you on a deeper level she hits you right where you’ve been hurt and that to me counts more than any belt and or whistle… I’ve been to many MANY concerts and Hers by far is the best one I ever attended.. definitely struck my heart and made me cry lol…

[@airbanks5754]

I think what this video is about is she needs to improve her belting technique, placement, and her larynx position when singing. It's pretty basic thing to learn, of course you don't have to have the big round power of Whitney's voice, or Céline's brassy belting, or even super high whistle ... not everyone can be Mariah.

[@dontmindme5163]

Tbh she IS a very good vocalist. Not in the same league as the holy trinity but still much better than most artists out there. But her biggest strenght is her voice. Like, her tone. How she sings. So... great vocals, amazing voice, lovely personality, classy style and very very good lyrics makes her one of the best artists of the 21st century.

[@delove1460]

It's the emotions in Adele's voice that people relate to the most which so many artist can only try to deliver. It comes so naturally to her. It's one of the things that make her unique. It doesn't matter if her voice is as perfect as the rest, she doesn't need to be compared to other people. She sings from her heart to the hearts of billions.

[@fernandodiniz6029]

She is a basic C listed singer by vocals experts, strain and flat live, she know and say it, but her fans, doesn't accept that fact, and white media overrated her, and she's embarrassed about it, because she knows she's a lot far from a real vocalist.

Can you a do a video about Madonna? Like, ,can she sing? "or something like that.

[@harborsadolescentfears9322]

I love Madonna.

[@strandedtraveller1038]

Madonna was actually pretty good when she was trained for Evita, and her quality performances extended to her Ray of Light era (that live performance on Oprah Winfrey's show shook me). And despite not having the craziest vocal range and acrobatics, her voice held up quite decently (at least to Rebel Heart era). I think she's a singer with a beautiful tone but limited capabilities, who was able to pull off some great performances in her prime.

[@joanne8317]

[@deyoncew3311]

@@Fan-vv8wb She definitely isn't a good singer but I wouldn't say she's overrated. Nobody thinks Madonna is a great singer. Madonna herself has said multiple times that she isnt a good singer. For her to be overrated she would need to be praised for her vocals more than her vocal talent and Madonna is praised as an artist, not a vocalist.

[@JZidor]

Yes once they compared her to Whitney I said no sir

[@Ozymandi_as]

As Easy on Me continues to fuck the brains out of every other artist around at the moment, I think it's worth remembering that Adele relies for her appeal on a few simple things. The quality of her song-writing, the musicianship of her compositions and recordings, her unique and unmistakeable voice, and her authenticity. You can argue about details of her technical proficiency, but what Adele does with her voice as few other artists can is communicate. That's what a voice is for, and that's how she has used hers. She's simply one of the greatest pop-singers of all time, and I don't see how anybody can seriously argue that she's not.

[@rrowell4163]

It matters not whether someone really is titled the greatest singer or not .Why ? You may just love a song the person sings and that it Hello is a lovely song , I am not solely caught up with how fantastic the vocal is but the song plus if the delivery captivates me There are plenty of great singers with great songs that don’t get pushed or over promoted as Adele does Take Morgan James- let me keep you or Ali McGuirk “ what have you done for me “ or Sara bareilles “ I can let go now“ or Nina Ferro “ up on the roof “ you get joy from such great songs one is not over obsessed about who is the best singer . It’s a combination of the song and vocal delivery

[@fatima.s4382]

Can you please do a vocal analysis video on Faouzia. She’s hands down one of the best vocalists of this generation, up there with the likes of Jojo, Tori, Ariana, etc. She’s also a phenomenal songwriter.

[@yassinelkhammar2656]

U forgot Jessie J 😉

[@user-xr5kp6qz8g]

She improved her singing a lot since the start of her career. Also any singer who sings in tours for a long time is prone to vocal damage, watch Broadway singers- they are demanded to sing their heart out, act and dance 8 shows a week. It's demanding for the voice and body

[@henokmohammed7619]

something to praise adele for is that unlike most singers she sounds really similar if not the same as her studio records when she sings live

[@nawaf5762]

She is one of my favorites, and I used to be a hard-core fan, but I wouldn't call her a vocalist. She is a great singer and knows how to deliver, but nothing too out of the ordinary about her vocals.

I love Adele she's good at her current level. She doesn't need to be a vocal master to make good music.

[@feelthejoy]

Her timbre and tone are compelling. Her pitch isn’t great live, but she makes people feel, and she tells a story. That’s why there are tons of people graduating from conservatories every year who are technically better vocalists than Adele who will never be stars like her.

[@Roguenight863]

She has a gorgeous voice. Technically sound or not she does have a ton of natural singing ability.

[@thankuslay6766]

She seems like sound ''flawless'' because she knows her strength and her weakness. She is really good in pop-ballad so she stays in her comfort zone.

Not gonna lie. I think this girl can sing better than xtina in some ways. Adele is a bit underappreciated. But the best thig in her is her emotional. Everytime she sings her sad song i always cry. And also being soulful.

Her tone is so damn beautiful & captivating. & how she delivers songs draws u in & makes u feel & revisit dormant feelings within u. Technique doesn't count for me much when u know how to pull heartstrings with how u deliver a song. One may have the best techniques in singing, yet lacks conviction & conveying true emotions & that doesn't impress me at all. & She has this certain special, undeniable charisma found only in just a few artists/celebrities. Not ALL celebrities possess it

I really want her to take a vocal coach in tye nest era, so he can show her the best way to sing without damaging her elegant voice. Everytime she goes in a big tour she looses her voice. 😥

[@littletimmy932]

Adele's song progressions are very easy to sing lol. The speed of the songs she sings is something that you can get a momentum along even if you are an average singer. Unlike songs of pop stars that can actually sing, everything is fast and chopped half way that's why those are more challenging to sing. I dont find her "great". There's very limited times her songs became challenging because the way the notes goes up will go up naturally for a singer.

[@QuatMan]

ALL of this😂 She is more of a "catchy tunist" whose easy to sing songs are perfect for a karaoke night

[@LuLuise-pu1bl]

People are batshit, Beyoncé ( Star vocalist), (Adele C singer) is legit closer to Taylor swift( D singer) (whose music beats adele imo) than to Beyoncé.

[@gracioussunchild9877]

The thing is…she’s the perfect mix of Raw and Refined. This is the voice that so many of us need to hear right now. Throughout history different voices reflect different themes/emotional desires of the collective consciousness…even with the tones of their voice.
