Jessie J, who went to school with Adele, says the Oscar-winning singer is an "unstoppable character".
The 'It's My Party' singer said Adele, who became one of the biggest stars in the world with her 2011 album '21', had the aura of being a star since her childhood, reported Contactmusic.
"Adele is like this unstoppable character. She's amazing. I remember being at school with her and she had this aura about her that was a star and I'm really proud of her. It's like females UK, everyone is doing so well at the moment," she said.
Adele's success has been fuelled by her confessional tracks like 'Someone Like You', about lost love, and Jessie has written a similarly personal song for her second album, Alive.
"It's very emotional, very personal. It's about a family member of mine who isn't themselves anymore. They're still alive but not themselves, in the sense that illness has taken them away a little bit.
"And I needed to write a song about it. I don't think I'd be able to sing it live, and I hope my fans respect that. But I gave my all in the vocals so that they have that, it sounds like a live performance," she added.
