Adele: One Really Lucky Artist... But Talented Nonetheless

Adele, is perhaps the luckiest artist to have performed on SPalin's SNL episode.

As of right now, her album, 19, is listed at number 2 in iTunes' Top Albums. What?! SNL did something for music sales?! I'm sure her agents didn't think that her career in the US from the UK would've skyrocketed at the rate that it is. Quite the shock. Who knew that this would be the perfect platform for her to take off?

Hm, I don't give NBC producers enough credit. I'm sure they had an idea. Adele was wayy too perfect a role for the musical number.

I'm glad SNL didn't toss in some lame shitty local band to fill up the music space. Adele was absolutely spectacular in her performance. No one sounds that good on the live stage in the atrocity (for acoustics) that is NBC Studios. She expressed so much feeling, and her voice, oh god, she makes Amy Winehouse sound like a dying dog.

A truly amazing artist is getting recognition in this country for her talent. Already her popularity is breaking the size 0 mold expected of all US entertainers - I just hope that we don't break her.
