10 Women Who Rock: No. 1

Who: Adele
Sound: Soul

What better way to get back at an ex than write a hit about your failed relationship? Fiona Apple did it. Alanis Morissette did it. Fleetwood Mac ... let's not go there. Enter Adele, whose debut single was a contemplative kiss-off to her ex-lover. After stumbling upon Dusty Springfield and Etta James albums while searching for a retro hairdo, she accidentally found her voice. As it turns out, her jazzy pipes are bigger than, well, Amy Winehouse's 'hive. Listen to 'Chasing Pavements'

Adele is a good singer, her voice is soulful. not rock. so what if she is overweight, the best soul and opera singers have always been heavy. it does lend something to the voice. Who cares what a signer looks like. it is the voice that makes it worth listening to. the look is just for vids and concerts. yet even concerts the image is much secondary to the voice
