NOEL GALLAGHER is convinced the adulation heaped on
fellow British star ADELE will be short-lived, insisting female singers have no
"shelf life" in the music industry.
Someone Like
You hitmaker Adele shot to international fame following her emotional
performance at the Brit Awards last year (11), with her album 21 going on to
top charts around the world and sell more than 17 million copies.
Her incredible
rise has attracted praise from stars including Beyonce and rocker Dave Grohl -
but former Oasis guitarist Gallagher is adamant Adele's success will quickly
wilt, citing Welsh singer Duffy, who failed to capitalise on her early promise.
He tells Live
magazine, "I feel sorry for girls in the music industry. They do have a
very short shelf life. For instance, Duffy: who? Gone. She was massive. And I
don't doubt for a second that the same thing will happen to Adele."

website exclusively for her fans.
The pop
superstar has used online forums to boost her worldwide appeal and has become
the first celebrity to register 18 million followers on Twitter.com.
Now the Poker
Face hitmaker is utilising her technology skills by founding her very own
networking site for her devotees, who the star has branded her 'little
monsters'.
The site,
called littlemonsters.com, is currently being set up, and the webpage invites
fans to register with their email address.
A reply from
the site reads, "Your invitation request has been received! We're excited
to share the world of LittleMonsters with you very shortly, keep an eye out for
