When Adele's career took off at the end of 2009 with her hit "Rolling In The Deep," Emeli who's real name is also Adele, decided to go with her middle name, Emeli as her stage name, in order to form her own identity in the industry.

Despite the name conflict, Adele admires Sande and is a fan of her music. "It's amazing. Even before I released anything in the UK, she'd seen me on a show we have over there called 'Jools Holland' and she tweeted about it. To have that support from someone so huge was really encouraging," she said.

The singer can sympathize with the love-hate relationship people have with music competition shows, but overall these programs are beneficial for both artists looking for their big break.
