no. no she's not.

'Rolling In the Deep' had some Gospel and Blues undertones, sure. but 'Someone Like You'? nope. and the rest of the album didn't feel like that either. except maybe 'Rumor Has It'. so, 2 songs. the rest? naw. but i'm not up on the album like that b/c i wasn't into it after i listened once last yr. i heard too many torch songs for my taste.
