When Adele came on the scene, she was young, fresh and had a unique and original sound. It was something no one had ever heard before. She started a trend with her voice that many have tried to imitate or copy ever since. It changed the sound of todays music.

Her songs are very well written, again different and unique, filled with Brittish phrasing Americans did not know about, but embraced and took to.

And formost A voice, technically perfect, creative and powerful. One of the best voices to hit the stage in decades. A natural and a classic already. One of the most important singer/song writers of out time.

Usually when artists are "perfect" in appearance, dress, etc(manufactured)...​it is to cover up and distract from the lack of talent.

OMG! People stop with the "music transends color" stuff. Of course it is! That is not the issue!

Example- Beauty transends race or weight, but will we pretend that someone who is lighter skinned or a size 0 doesn't get more hype or an easier road than those who are darker? Even Adele would disagree that there are weakers singers than her with hits due to being video "perfect".

I also think there is a tendency to be more forgiving of the Elvis Hype when its white FEMALES getting the boost { I actually like Elvis' music. maybe Pat Boone is a better example}. Black males and whites still  take jabs at white guys who rap or do R&B- only letting a few succeed. Where as a moderately talented white female can do a lame versions of Aretha  Franklin or a rip off of Beyonce type R&B and get a hit.

Adele is more than moderately talented, so she will last longer- rightly. But pretending that her race isn't a bonus is like pretending that - if Rhianna were dark skinned and averaged looking- her singing would have gotten her just as far.

{oh and Adele's Bond song is not the first hit- not at all. Yet those artists weren't asked back. Its the Adele HYPE they want to hold onto}
