She lately tell apart The Hollywood newsman , " No one can sing my songs like me , period . "
This week, Adele interviewed with The Hollywood Reporter and shared her thoughts about artists covering her music.
Sheadmittedshe’s not particularly fond of it because other singers don’t have the same relation to the songs as her.
Adeleexplained, “With my music, and for whoever listens to it, I think I’m not the best singer in the world at all, but no one else can sing my songs like me because they didn’t write them.”
“No one can sing my songs like me, period,” she continued. “They can’t sing. The lyrics are not their own. And I don’t think anyone else should sing my songs… I don’t mind it when they do, but I’m just saying they’re never going to be able to emote it. Same way that I can’t sing other people’s songs. I didn’t write the lyrics, and I can’t sing as well as them.”
