Adele’s blurb for the list was completed by talk show host James Corden, who praised the singer’s ability to put her all into a track. “She puts emotions into words, describing them in a way we never could ourselves,” he wrote. “She is raw, honest, and elegant all at the same time. It never feels like she sings to us. She sings for us.”
