Beyonce: Adele's Music Is Like 'Listening to God'

By Boombox Editors Posted Apr 15th 2011 03:05PM

In the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone magazine, Grammy-winning British singer Adele reveals that Beyonce's alter ego Sasha Fierce helped her overcome her performance anxiety.

The voluptuous 'Rolling in the Deep' singer said that she was inspired not only by Beyonce's fierce twin, but by a chance meeting with the singer, who told her she had the voice of God. "I was about to meet Beyonce and I had a full-blown anxiety attack," Adele explained. "Then [Beyonce] popped in looking gorgeous, and said, 'You're amazing! When I listen to you I feel like I'm listening to God."

Adele revealed that moment of truth came later, when she found herself crying hysterically on a balcony, alone. "'What would [Beyonce's alter ego] Sasha Fierce do?'" Adele recalled asking herself. "That's when Sasha Carter was born," she concluded, referring to her own Sasha Fierce/June Carter-inspired power persona.

The Destiny's Child frontwoman was previously rumored to be recording with Adele back in 2009, when she lavished praise on the 22-year-old singer, and reportedly invited her into the studio to record.

"Beyonce loves Adele's voice and her music," a source told British newspaper The Sun. "Adele is really excited -- she grew up listening to Destiny's Child and they are still her favourite group. It's her dream to record with Beyonce."

Though the collaboration has yet to materialize, Adele's acclaimed sophomore album, '21,' is in stores now, and has sold over a million copies in the U.S. since its February release.

Finally, Beyonce shows that she actually DOES have a brain and sadly from the above post, Danny does not.

If Adele's music is like listening to God, shows the low esteem that PopEater has for its God. If the God that created her would think the same, HE would have left her in heaven to enjoy her music, instead of sendfing it to us mortals to suffer her looks and her non melodic music!

For a while there, I thought maybe she had something but I've changed my mind.

I heard of this singer but had never heard her music until today, she sounds good. However, I think Beyonce used the wrong choice of words as usual, because obviously Beyonce don't know how God sound. Again it's Beyonce we all expect her to say something stupid.

Too bad Beyondsay's fashion and personal style doenst match her love for Adele. Beyondsay looks like an orange/black barbie.
Save your money on skin bleach and wigs and just think of all the mosquito nets you could buy, and do some good at the same time. your disgusting Beyondsay

Wow,girl..you are so pale. Even more so than just last week.This cant be healthy.Better lay off the "stuff" you are putting on your skin. Just sayin..

By Just A Fan

If we all are truly the children of God and molded in God's image then in that sense her voice is like listening to God. To all those who don't find her voice to be angelic and beautiful than you really need your ears fixed!!!!
