She nailed the accent and it is so true about her having to channel a London Black Lady to do Adele, because she from North London, Tottenham to be exact, which is a mostly black neighbourhood in London. Amy Winehouse basically grew up in the town next to Tottenham, which was also very diverse and might explain why Winehouse and Adele have so much soul because the grew up around so many soulful black people.
