Yep. Underrated. Even the great Michael McDonald said she was the best female singer the UK had produced. And she's from my home city, too!

@tuberlawl

Yep, a marvelous talent. A true soul singer. Of course Adele is brilliant. But she can't do this, they are so comfortable and natural. And they can both dance, it helps.

Amazing how a song can take you back to happy times . 15 and carefree . Hanging out with all your mates , fancying the girls at school , going to school discos Friday night and slow dances , the friends you had ,the music , the clothes , no worries in the world . Now we are getting older and friends and people who you know have passed away and gone at such young ages . Life is cruel . I’d go back in a flash albeit for just a while . Thank god for memories

This is beyond true. I mean, literally every person says this on every video about the 80's or 90's. It's true. I was there for the 90's. I now know I wasn't just being a stupid idealistic kid. Times truly were better then. Adults as well as children were happier back then. We're so disconnected these days. It's sickening. A tragedy.
