I feel like Adele is a diva. Not in the bad way. She is one of the greatest voices of this industry and of her own art. What she offers is so unique that she's risen to such a status that very few artists can enjoy.

I don't really have a gimmick or a 'thing.' I'm one of the few artists who gets to be himself every day.

Madonna can still produce a catchy pop song, but she hasn't expanded her artistic vocabulary since the 1990s. Her concerts are glitzy extravaganzas of special effects overkill. She leaves little space in them for emotional depth or unscripted rapport with the audience.

Adele is great because she promotes the idea of being happy as you are.

Adele shattered the image of how the stereotypical singer is supposed to look. She has that whole 'Screw you, I'm awesome for what I do' attitude, which I really look up to and want to be a part of.

That's why I can't listen to a whole record of Adele's. She has the most amazing voice, but people must have convinced her they just want to hear love songs.

I love Adele; she's a timeless, classic beauty. I think she's beautiful. She's just a real woman.

Adele ultimately did well in such a large way because she affects everybody, and the way that she writes seems to be popular music, not because of her skin color but because she writes great music, and it's popular in that way.

I love Adele so much and it's honestly not because we're both big.

Adele's like a beacon of honesty. Doesn't compromise, goes to America and she's still the same sweary cockney.
