On the show that aired Friday 20th November on BBC 1, Graham Norton gave fans the opportunity to set the record straight on rumours they had heard in a game aptly named "Rumour Has It". One fan, Katie asks if it's true that Adele 'was' a massive fan of singer Gabrielle (of "Dreams", "Rise", "Out of Reach" fame).

In response to this revelation Gabrielle has said:

"What I love about Adele is that she's become a world-class recording artist by being herself," says Gabrielle. "Actually, that's why everybody loves her. She didn't conform to any stereotypes about what a popstar should be and in the end she was so good and so different she didn't need the hype.

"And I can see a little of me in that."

Get those girls to a cocktail bar immediately.

So there you have it. I see a lot of similarities in these two unconventional pop divas and it's clear that both will have a long lasting impact on pop culture. Given their shared against-the-trend attitude to fame, their down to earth personas and infectious cackles; I reckon these two should get together for a cocktail or two soon and fan girl together.

Cheers.
