Adele
The Warfield
January 29, 2009
Better than: Watching Amy Winehouse frolic a step away from death.
British singer/songwriter Adele Laurie Blue Adkins (known simply as Adele) totes a voice that's dripping with old soul, yet she's only 20. When she took to the stage last night at the Warfield, that voice sounded as crisp, clear and pitch-perfect as it does on her debut album 19 (so named for her age at the time of its recording), a tone that outclasses performers more than twice her age.
Meet the Devil Dolls. They ride their Harleys like demons, swear like sailors, and date Hell's Angels. They're real outlaws. And they've got the calendars and T-shirts to prove it.
