Like you mean it ....

One of my pet hates about singers is those who replace emotion with tehcnique, soul for effect - the apex being Whitney murdering 'I Will Always Love Yahoo' one of the most unfeeling renditions of a hymn to love I have ever heard.

But all is not lost!

Flying the flag for artists who actually sound as though they know what they are singing about, and have some life experience to express through their vocals - step forward ...

Adele.

Wonderful.

She is amazing Andy. I spent the other evening on YouTube listening to her.

What a voice and what musicality and what emotion. I am not usually smitten with female singers, but she is a one off.

Heard her singing this for the first time a few weeks ago. Twas on Radio 2 and it stopped me in my tracks.

All week I have been singing 'Feel my Love'!! I can't sing!!!

PS I agree about Whitney and those who 'warble' like her too. I love Dolly Parton :o)

Ta for this thread Andy. Just ordered the album from Amazon :o)

I'm with you there andy. It's that whole 'RnB' yodelling thing isn't it? Never sing 1 note when 5 will do. They need to realise that sometimes less is more.
I love Adele's version of 'make you feel my love'.

She's good Woofy. But to me Adele takes the edge.

They're both great. I saw Rumer doing that song on the Jools Holland new year show. Really good.
