Does Adeles skin color have anything to do with her high record sales?

Yes it does but when brehs act like she doesn't have one of the best voices right now that's the other extreme of the discussion.

But she doesn't have one of the best voices right now.

If Adele's pitchy ass can sing to you, you have very low standards. You think Britney Spears is dope?

Black women don't have better voices?

That's it in a nutshell.

We're so spoiled and use to big voiced black women, so much so that we disregard them. But we salivate over white people who can blast an octave or two and hit a run n a scat.
And the industry feeds from that dynamic.

Check the backup singers all throughout Adele's performances. Good enough to be in the dim lighting, but not the spotlight.

Adele has a good voice but her technique is terrible.

Sharon of the Daptones was a much better singer, but she got nothing from the mainstream. We never do.
Technique can be taught/fixed (though I imagine at this point with this much success it won't) but this makes more sense than acting like her voice is mediocre. If it was she'd be another white singer whose albums go double zirconia.
Her skin color didn't sell her records, breh?

Just her "talent"?

On what planet does talent by itself get you stupidly retarded success?

Even Eminem admitted, "If I was black, I would have sold half"
You must not have read my post or chose to harp on me not falling into the Coli-acceptable "yes and every black singer out today has a better voice than her" because my initial comment on the topic literally acknowledged this.

Oh hell. I forgot the 2016 Grammy performance when Adele was so damn off key and pitchy she ended up blaming it on technical difficulties. :russ:

bytch is not a vocalist. I don't care how many vanilla pop songs she makes. bytch can't even sing her own songs live and in the correct key :mjlol:

people have complained about her live performances on social media :francis:

I don't think she sounds "black" at all but I'm def in the minority there - they played her video on BET soul every muthafukkin day :stopitslime:

Of course it's cuz she's white. Anybody denying that is stupid. Adele provides a white version of black musical soulful style. Whites want our culture but they have to filter it thru White mediums to make it acceptable for consumption and acknowledgement. Whites will NEVER hype blk artists the way some blks hype white artists, and when they do, it's a thinly veiled attempt to appropriate said culture in the future. So they overhype white mimicry of blk sounds. They will never admit to this however. To do so would violate white supremacy code that runs just below the Western collective consciousness.

Edit: Same with Sam Smith. Meanwhile there are blk European singers that don't get marketed as much who are better. Leona Lewis, Emili Sande





:wow::mjcry: I can't listen to acoustic Emeli sande or any Leona Lewis without burning eyes
