"Poll question: Is Adele an R&B artist"


          

I've seen a lot of chatter on the internet about how Adele sells and Black R&B artists can't, but I've never thought of her as an R&B artist. Don't get me wrong, there's definitely a lot of Black influence in her music, but she seems like a more soulful Celine Dion, as opposed to Teena Marie or even Lisa Stansfield.
