Listening to 21, it makes me want to go back and drop a star in the rating for 19. This monster album is just worlds above her debut. The thing that makes this one so much better are the songs themselves. The have better hooks and showcase her bluesy style far more effectively. And overall, it's a more cohesive album that the first one doesn't have at all. And the other thing that makes this a winner is the track order. Where her debut failed in that department, 21 starts it off with the right song;  Rolling In The Deep. You couldn't ask for a better song to kick things off.

There are so many great songs here that I'm actually stumped at which one I would call the best. That's a very rare treat to have to face. So, I guess I could say that my favorite is............I dunno. Too hard to choose.

Fave Songs:  Rolling In The Deep, Rumor Has It, Turning Tables, Set Fire To The Rain,One and Only and Someone Like You.

Okay, I think it's a toss up between Rolling In The Deep and Set Fire To The Rain. I would say that Rain gets the slight edge on this particular day and time.

Album cover rocks.
