Britney Spears has lavished praise upon Adele.

The '21' star has countless admirers across the world and it seems that pop princess Spears is one of them.

Speaking in Elle, the former X Factor USA star said that Adele is not only enamouring through her music, but in her personality too. The 'Toxic' singer said:

"Her voice is just not like any other voice out there. It draws the emotion out of you. A lot of her songs kind of put me in a trance. We were both at the VMAs, and they were like, 'Do you want to meet Adele?' and I was like, 'Um, yes!'. She was even better than I imagined, in person – she's so incredibly down-to-earth."

Spears continued: "You can tell she hasn't gotten caught up in that pop music machine thing – which is easy to get caught in – and she hasn't just listened to what executives were telling her to do. All of her stuff is hers, and that's really amazing."
