From Wiz to Foo! Music is My Soul's Top 42 Songs of 2011

1. Adele-Rolling in The Deep

MTV recently debating if Nikki Minaj or Adele was the top artist of 2011.

The argument was that Minaj should be on top because she was a 360 artist who fits today's music industry where marketing is just as or even more important than the music.

Nikki Minaj is a wonderful talent who helped bring back female MC's in a big way and she will be around for long time, mainly because she is really talented MC who is a very smart business woman.

However, when Adele released her album "21" it wasn't about marketing or making tracks that would give her broad appeal, "21" was about her life, openly singing about a relationship gone bad, (once upon this was staple of music, which has slowly drifted away like the Sony Walkman).

But how can one hear the emotion that comes out of Adele mouth and not feel something?

How can one not get into the hand clamps during the climax of "Rolling in the Deep" and not clap along?

Is Adele the greatest singer of all time? No.

But she is a true artist who pulls you in with her  music, not her dance steps....and music lovers around the world and the music industry as the whole is better off with her authenticity than without it.
