Why I Can't Stop Listening to Adele

Five years ago I heard an artist by the name Adele on the radio and paid little to no attention to her.  Radio personality announced Adele won awards and that her songs are played in almost every radio station and still, I paid no attention as I was never a fan of British singers or entertainment before--not even the Beatle could attract me.  I have watched many British movies and was never into them so I thought maybe their singers will be the same--uninteresting, mediocre, not talented.  Lame I know. Just because a singer is British, it does not mean he or she is below or is not as great as any other American singers.  Then in November 2015, I heard the song "Hello" on Adele's Youtube page and was completely hooked to this British singer.  I googled and went to Adele's Youtube page and listened to her songs.  I just could not get enough of her.  Today Adele sold millions of albums and is one of the most well-known singers in the world.

There are many reasons why I cannot stop listening to her music.  For one thing, Adele can really sing. There are millions of singers in the world coming from almost every countries but some do not have a vocal talent that would mark them as a great singer or even worth listening to.  Now I am not criticizing other singers in the world but rather I am shedding some truth in the music industry. Take American musicians for instance---some "singers" do not have the vocal ability even though they sing at concerts and special events and make millions of dollars and the public knows that but still we buy tickets to their "concerts" for the sake of entertainment and admiration of their personality.

Secondly, Adele is confident and genuine.  I can't help admiring her confidence and genuity in interviews.  I do not know if the persona she shows in interviews reflects her true self but all I can say is she makes me want to come back to her music.

Last but not least her love song is relatable.  She does not share much about the romantic aspect of her life but her lyrics gives me better light in understanding my own love life and life in general.

Michael Jackson died in 2009 and still today, the world remembers his legacy and his contribution to pop music.  People still sing and listen to his music to this very day and they remember the good time his music gave them.  Likewise, Adele will be the Michael Jackson that the world knows.  We will remember her beautiful voice and best of all the good memories that she gives each one of us from this day on and to the near future.
