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

[Standing on business]

Yes she's a great singer but if she was black would she still sell as much ????


I'm just asking because of these comments got me thinking

Just say you can’t explain why Adele is so big. I mean Jasmine Sullivan should be a bigger star but don’t act like we are out here helping her sell well because we are not. Adele is killing everybody point blank. It ain’t got shyt to do with race. White people go through pop stars like we go through rappers.

has nothing to do with being white why she SELLS. why she wins all the awards and gets her dikk sucked, yes.. but not sales

Adele is in a category that the industry forget.. the category is "fukk what you look like, can you sing this ballad bytch"

No cause she's not rnb or soul

1. She is very talented. There are a lot of white singers, and most of them are unknown, or at best, one-hit-wonders.
2. If she was black she would sell less

I don't see how you could think anything else. Marketing is a factor, her being less attractive helps her niche as well.

She makes Olive Garden rich , people love Olive Garden

There you go

 

[Worthless Loser]

Yes. If she was black she would not be selling that much.

White mediocrity is accepted, praised and monetized in black artforms.

 

[BlackDiBiase]

yes, her whole story and presentation. they want it to be market as humble begining girl makes it good but she was always rich and her image doesnt match who she really is, which is rotten.

i wonder if the middle aged crowd would still supoort her knowing how potty she is, anyway shout to that pig and her "black friends" she had to seperate in the grammys.

Have you heard her voice? And she is pop. You really can't be shocked. She is legit a force.

 

[Heafcliffe]

Does it, you ask?

Simply put, yes.

 

[Code]

Nope, she makes Taylor Swift look like a flop

 

[Roid Jones]

Chick can sang and she's white, you know what is

 

[TheDarkCloud]

If she was Black, she'd be Jazmine Sullivan.

Jazmine Sullivan makes the SAME type of music and sounds waaaay better. But because Adele is white, she's marketed differently.

Cant really front on Adele does she sell more cause shes white yes. but a lo of white singers aint making any noise. to be honest i dont know why the fukk she is so successful. but i do like her music.

 

[Standing on business]

Nope, she makes Taylor Swift look like a flop

And the funny thing is, taylor swift outsells everyone not named adele

 

[TheDarkCloud]

Adele isn't even the dopest White female singer out right now. Ariana Grande >>>.

People are drawn to Adele because she carries herself like a serious singer-songwriter so it gives off the picture that she's legit. She is all hype but pedestrian as fukk at the same time.

Yes. If she was black she would not be selling that much.

White mediocrity is accepted, praised and monetized in black artforms.

So Black mediocrity isnt accepted. Chris Brown is like the main R &B person out. in the 80s or 90s he would be a nobody.
