I'll take Adele over all the other teeny girls and MInaj any day. She's the reason people can't stand auto-tuned plastic dolls anymore. She came in with not auto tune and sang some great songs. If you don't like it, fine. But to say her voice is like a goose is the most inaccurate and and ignorant comment I've ever heard. Most female vocals who are in the alto range tend to sing slower paced and more bluesy sounding songs. The one thing I like about her the most: No auto tuning. To me, that qualifies an artist to call them a singer.
