Lady Gaga's music may move me to shake my rump, but Adele's lovely compositions move my soul.
Lady Gaga releases a new album as often as she has a bowel movement; Adele takes quite a bit longer to release new material. It takes intelligence, talent and practice session after practice session to craft the perfect CD like "21."
