Adele Adkins (Adele)
Alecia Moore (P!nk)
Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga)

Even though pop music is shite nowadays, I'd have to say Gaga is far more talented than people give her credit for. Powerhouse voice, can sing any genre anywhere (Rock, pop, jazz) and now has a golden globe nomination to her credit. I certainly don't like a lot of her music, but she's extremely talented and the most talented pop singer of this generation IMO

Adele by a god damn long shot IMO. I would put Pink in second followed by the ironically named Lady Gaga.

Musically, Lady Gaga is far more talented than Adele or Pink.

As noted, she can sing just about any genre--very well. She's a gifted songwriter. She also happens to be a former child prodigy on the piano (she was on track to be a classical concert pianist). Girl's got serious chops. As much as I adore Adele, there's no way she could sing a club anthem like "Just Dance", followed by a pitch perfect rendition of "Popsicle Toes", and then finish it up with a "Sound of Music" medley that makes Julie Andrews cry.

On the other hand, as a pure pop singer and songwriter, Adele has no peer.

As talented as Pink is vocally, she's a distant third.

I'd go with Gaga in terms of talent. I know she plays piano well which in turn gives her a firm understanding of not only how to perform but how to compose, even if it's on a shallow level.

A singers voice is totally interpretive to the person listening. Granted, some are better than others, but musicianship is (playing, composing music) not really subject to interpretation.

You can either play the gig are you can't.

As much as her meat costumes and antics annoy me, this is correct. I believe Adele has a hand in all her songs on her album so that is a good thing, Pink is a distant 3rd. Good post.

It's been a couple years since Gaga has done the really crazy stuff. Ever since Miley Cyrus turned into a trailer park S & M freak show, that niche has been filled. Whether you liked it or not, Gaga at least had a sense of art and showmanship about her outlandish costumes and performances. Cyrus just gets stoned and tries to think up outrageous stuff: "hmmm, dance naked with a giant strap on dildo? Let's do it!"

Gaga has reinvented herself into a rather serious artist since the emergence of Miley Cyrus' skanky side.

Just sayin...

yeah but there's still rednecks who think lady gaga is a man. so there's that.

what they fail to realize is that she's put on a show for the public for years as a controversial entertainer. she has more musical talent than anyone in the pop music industry, both vocally, and as a musician.

All three artists mentioned in OP are more talented than Beyoncé. If you want to say Alicia Keys, I'll listen to your argument.

Saying Adele doesn't have soulfulness is like saying Sofia Vergara doesn't have tits.

Pink blows dogs and is ugly as a pair of homemade work boots.

Lady Gaga is the correct answer.

Obviously, Adele is very talented, also.

Pink should be nowhere near this discussion.
