The Popdust Files: adele, bobby brown, covers, someone like you, whitney houston

Adele’s reach extends everywhere at the moment, especially to the children of former teen idols. In attempts to follow the professional footsteps of parents Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, rather than something more problematic, 17-year-old Bobbi Kristina has posted a video of herself singing Adele’s current number one hit “Someone Like You.” Neither the Brit nor Mama Houston’s vocals are anything close to ordinary, and while she doesn’t top them, there’s certainly potential within her voice on this a cappella version, a nod to her talented gene pool. In addition to being her guardian and concert companion, it looks like Mom serves as musical inspiration as well. We spy: Whitney on an oversized hundred dollar bill mounted to her bedroom wall, something we’ve always wanted since wearing out our cassette copy of The Bodyguard soundtrack. As far as Adele covers go, do you prefer the raw versions by unsigned celebrity spawn, or the high-profile, elaborate renditions recorded by overreaching actor-musicians?
