so who the hell is this Adele?
was reading/typing away here, when I heard this amazing, astounding voice on the tube:

Letterman show, a singer named Adele

dunno how much it had to do with the song, but it got me right away from the screen, and listening

what a voice!

anybody heard of her?

doing a little checking to see what's up....

4. She sounds a lot like Amy Winehouse
Hopefully she stays away from the drugs.

Good song, btw.

9. Luckily, the Google wasn't used in this case...
because now I have discovered a wonderful new singer that I had never heard of before.

10. reminds me of the time I thought I heard a 'new', yet somehow odd, Billie Holiday
song awhile back

Madeleine Peyroux

I love this song
