Who? Adele
Best known for: her album ‘21’ (and the songs ‘Rolling in the Deep’ and ‘Someone Like You’), but she has another album as well.
Why is she awesome? Girl has just won 6 Grammys (she has 8 in total), her first album ‘19’ entered the charts at number 1 and her second album ‘21’ broke records. She has an amazing voice (and by amazing, I mean, AMAZING), she’s beautiful, irreverent and incredibly talented.
Kick ass factor: She’s fat for industry standards and people keep judging her on that, but not a single fuck was given by her.
Here’s a video of her performance of Rolling in the Deep at the Grammys (the first after her throat surgery).
