♪ (song concludes) ♪ - Good artist. Adele's awesome.
- Oh my gosh. I love Adele.
She's my favorite music artist right now.
- Compared to other singers, she can really, really sing.
- (children) Question time!
- (Finebros) Okay, so do you know who this singer was?
- No.
- I can't remember her name.
- Don't tell me the name! Don't tell me the name!
Kelly Clarkson!
- That was Adele.
- Adele.
- Adele!!!
- She has amazing songs that I love.
- (Finebros) So the singer's name is Adele.
- (bemused) Adele?
- (Finebros) Have you heard of Adele? - No.
- No.
- I think I heard it from my car of the radio.
- (Finebros) Do you like these songs? - No.
I'm more into 1930's jazz.
- Kind of.
- Yes.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, it's nice.
- I love her music. It's really good.
- (Finebros) Well, a lot of people like Adele's singing voice.
They think that it's very unique compared to other singers.
What would you say is different about her singing voice?
- She can, like, hold her voice long.
- It sounds really raw and natural.
- With other singers, they don't have really that much
emotion like her.
- She's real.
She doesn't use this autotune.
It just proves how much of a good singer she is.
- (Finebros) So Adele first became very popular
with the second song we showed you, Rolling in the Deep,
but then after she had this huge success with that album,
she stopped making new music for four entire years.
- What?!
- (to tune of Rolling in the Deep) ♪ That's almost my whole life ♪
- She has a beautiful voice. Why would she leave?
- It's probably sad to all the people that like her.
- That's actually kind of rude
'cause her fans are really sad about that.
- (Finebros) Well, what she said is that she had so much success
with that album that she thought about retiring
because she didn't know if she'd ever be able to make
music that good again, but instead she decided to take a break,
specifically because she wanted to raise her son.
- Oh! Well, that's reasonable.
- That was sweet of her.
It's not about music. It's about your family.
- Music isn't everything. You should care about your children.
They have lives too.
- (Finebros) Then she came back, just recently, with the new album,
with Hello, and she's now more popular than ever before.
Her album broke all kinds of sales records. - Wow.
- (Finebros) Why do you think people still love her so much,
even though she was gone? - No clue.
- It's weird.
- Probably because people miss her.
When she came back, they were really excited.
- I think it's just because she grew so popular in the first place.
Nobody could ever forget her name.
People already liked her from before, from her other songs,
and now they hear this one-- they're just like, "Whoa."
- (Finebros) Well, some criticize Adele,
saying that she's overweight and it isn't a good example
for kids out there, while others feel it's totally fine
and there's nothing wrong with it.
Well, what do you think? - That's stupid!
- People are just rude!
- It's her voice that people love
and it doesn't matter if she's overweight.
That doesn't affect her singing.
- It doesn't matter what you look.
It just matters how you act, and how kind you are.
- (Finebros) So back to her music,
who do you think listens to Adele? - Everybody.
- Teenagers.
- Adults.
- Moms and dads like it?
- My mom... and... my friend's mom.
- As a kid, I wouldn't really listen to her
because it has a lot more emotion.
- (Finebros) It's been said that most of her biggest fans
are people your parent's age.
Does her music feel more adult to you than other music?
- No, not really. It just sounds like normal music.
- Probably, yes.
Her songs are just a little more sad.
- Yes, because it's a different type of music.
It's slow.
- It kind of feels like it's meant for adults
because, I don't know, kids won't understand those,
I don't know, what they represent.
- (Finebros) So last question:
would you say that you like her music more
or less than other music? - Less than other music.
- Less.
- I like it less.
- More.
- I like her more.
- I like other music better.
- Less.
I like hip hop and that doesn't sound like hip hop.
- I like her more.
Adele, she can sing anything.
- I like more people than her!
No offense, Adele.
- Of course more!
Her tone is beautiful, like right out.
Like, just flat out beautiful.
- I like her.
Most music these days is ♪ booty, booty, booty, booty, booty ♪
and I don't really care about booties.
