Beyonce Compares Adele to 'Listening to God'

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 she 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.

"God gave His Son to live 33 yrs and die in agony on the cross for our sins.".............Since God created man in the first place, you would think he would have done it right the first time. He goofed on several occasions and his answer was always kill people. For instance, he "promised" land to the Jews that was already occupied. Oops. His solution? Tell the Jews to practice genocide on the Canaanites. Every last man woman and child - except for a whore who facilitated the genocide. Nice guy. Since Jesus is of the house of David, he gets the blood-guilt of all the Canaanites slaughtered by Joshua. If the Nazis had won, they would have described the destruction of the Jews in exactly the same fashion - divine inspiration.

One singer compliments another in a poetic way, and you're imagining a petty, oversensitive God who takes offense. Your God is too small.

I really doubt Beyonce ment it in a literal sense. This was not a comment on religion, it was on tallent. Yall need to stop analyzing and criticizing everything someone says. All Beyonce was saying, is that on a scale from 1 to 10, she gave Adele's singing a 10.

Now we have hit the high of stupidity. When the Judgment day arrives she will be reminded of this derogatory comment when she realizes God created her. That is not a figure of speech and it is insulting to God. Lots of money, little wisdom.

Listen to all the judges. Comparing one voice to their own righteous chords and their own perfection.

I know what Beyonce said was a little over the top,
but I know what she means. When I hear "Rollin'
In The Deep", I have trouble getting the song out
of my head and it's like Adele's singing takes you
to another level. It's amazing and I am an agnostic.
WOW!!!

She is an excellent singer , but there was nothing that should cause such an embellished description as god-like about her singing. She is an excellent singer.
