Adele & Jessie J

I have been listening to Adele's songs since her first album 19, which she dropped when she was 19 years old. However if you hear just her voice, it seems as if she is way beyond her years. Her music has a more classical, older sound to it, that people of all ages can sit there and listen to, and truly enjoy. For instance, I was listening to her music on my laptop and my dad tells me to turn it up because he loves her voice.... we rarely enjoy the same tunes. Take a listen and let me know what you think, some of my favorites at the moment are someone like you, and rolling in the deep. I have taken the time to learn these songs on guitar, however I can never even hope to do her voice justice.

Jessie J and Adele graduated from the same preforming arts school in Europe... I don't know the name off hand. She has a completely different sound than Adele, but she also has a voice that can make your jaw drop, and goose bumps rise up on your arms.  Her songs are more about life situation, and how you can pull yourself up, it's very easy to relate to. Most of her songs aren't able to push through the generations such as Adele, however songs like Stand Up are able to. She doesn't have a distinct style, on her Album Who You Are, she travels through styles that are a complete contrast to each other. Give her album a listen and make sure to check out Nobody's Perfect. She also sets a fashion trend that is her own, personally I feel she is trying to take the same step to create more interest just at Rihanna and Lady Gaga have been doing.
