Ella Henderson is the "new Adele"...?
Why do I keep seeing this headline flashed everywhere? I get that it's all publicity of Ella, but it highlights an issue that is forever recurring the moment an up-and-coming artist gains success: they always have to be a replacement for someone else.
Someone is always the new Madonna or Mariah, and I just don't get it. Why do they have to be constantly linked to people that, in all honesty, bare no musical resemblance. Ella an Adele are nothing like each other...? |

She's had one single, give it peace, media.
Heck, ADELE wasn't even 'the new Adele' until the second single off her second album 3 years after her debut. Media just likes buzz. I've never seen this lassie interviewed either. In what ways is she like Adele? Adele smokes, swears, and is a big girl, and this lassie was on X Factor. They're just two female singers who've had success, there's no need to comapre one to the other or suggest one is going to replace the other. That doesn't help anyone. |

When Leona had Bleeding Love I remember reading newspaper articles about how Hollywood was fighting for it to be on its soundtracks..the next I Will Always Love You...didn't happen. I think Ghost/Ella could crack America but Adele is another level

Ella is Ella. Not Adele
Different music. Very different voices. Different ages. The media love overehyping people. I do think Ghost could be a huge hit around the world though. |

Ella is more similar to Leona, mariah, Celine etc. I'd say jessie ware is closer to Adele and better than both.

Ella is more a new Leona ie an artist who has one big single & album but then fades as her label can't do shit unless their a boyband were they'll last longer before fading

I also recall Clive davis (who discovered whitney) was suppose to take her under his wing who would apparently get her to record a second album that would be even bigger, a hugely successful world tour and turn her into a hollywood movie actress with a Bodyguard type film role. But when Echo underperformed, he didn't want to know anymore. I do wonder if there is some truth to this. Clive is heavily rumoured at treating some of his artists like crap and dropping them at the first sign of them gaining any control or an underperformance of a single or album. Kelly clarkson will easily vouch for this. But Whitney was the apple of his eye and treated her like a princess regardless. |

Because when Adele returns to recording and releasing records, Ella Henderson will be washed away in the wake of her continued success. However, since that won't be a year at least, they will make their money off their short term pop prospects while their long terms investments recuperate and their earnings accumulate elsewhere. "Like a credible, talented artist? Here's some disposable crap that's not as good as they are but are kind of like them."

It does seem like they're pushing her as a 'new Leona Lewis.' Especially with her style. Her hair and makeup in the Glow video reminds me of Leona in the Run video.
Ella seems to be doing really well at the moment, but I can't see her having huge success when she records her second album. I felt like when Leona took so long recording her third album, her gap in music was taken by Emeli Sande who has been hugely successful. So right now in music without Adele and Emeli Sande, Ella is filling that gap until they return |

It's a weird comparison because going off debuts I'd say Ghost has been more successful worldwide than Chasing Pavements was in 2008.
In fact, Adele didn't really hit the mark maybe because Duffy had overshadowed her when Rockferry was released. Like StratusSphere put, Adele didn't really take off until Rolling In The Deep although the excessive use of Make You Feel My Love on X Factor throughout the 2010 series more than likely helped when Adele released her new single in 2011. If Ella's second album contains some extraordinary songs then there's a chance Ella could be even more successful. To be honest, I'm surprised the media haven't said Ella - the new Leona. |

With Adele, if the media were correct in 2008, they had to compare her with Dusty Springfield at most but no they tried to pitched her with Amy and Duffy. Adele did the best and said both are great and so does Ella. |

For something to be better than one another, there needs to be similarities. Like how some people prefer pepsi over coke. One thing they only have in common. They can both sing very well. |

You do all realise than in two years time Ella won't even be releasing music?! It's so obvious and predictable. Ghost will be her only big, huge hit and that will be what she is known for. We've seen so many X Factor acts get hyped up. They release a big debut single, debut album and then that's it. I'm not saying she's not talented because she is, but she's signed to Syco and unfortunately they don't nurture careers, they ruin them. They're just a god awful label. I mean, they released Ghost in the U.S but didn't send Ella over there until the day of its release. What was even the point?!! Such a ridiculous strategy. Seriously, it's sad to say, but she won't have a big career in music. Even if she was to eventually get away from Syco, they would havr ruined her. Look what has happened to Alexandra Burke and Leona Lewis.

Leona on the other hadn has been lucky enough to have been snapped up immediately by an even better label, Universal's Island Record and has spent the last few months working with some great writers and producers on her fifth album. Plus she had a hit at the end of last year, which was supported across all major radio stations, she is in not to bad a position right now. I'm not saying she's gauranteed to come back strong, but I think she is in an OK place just now. |
