Dear Jonathan,

I am sorry, in re-reading my comment, I realize that I was too harsh.  I just cannot help being horrified at the tragedy of this young women, squeezed dry by a cruel and uncaring music industry.  She has unfortunately had two vocal haemorrhages and yet the only thing her agents and managers seem to be interested in is making money.  Her voice to me shows unmistakable signs of being permanently damaged.

To be given the talent to create beauty and share it with others is one of our greatest, most sublime gifts, and to see it squandered as in the case of Adele cuts me to the heart.  To me "using" another person is one of the greatest sins..
