24 Happy Birthday Songs For Adele

The English songer/songwriter turns 24 today.

Happy Birthday, Ms. Heartbreak!

While there really isn’t “someone like you,” you can’t fault a kid or two (or several thousand) from trying. Adele covers on YouTube are a dime a dozen, but these are some of the diamonds in the deep. And while we’re at it: please live forever and keep singing the best sad songs in the world!
