Ad\u00e9la Jergov\u00e1, a 22-year-old Slovak singer known mononymously as Ad\u00e9la, is dubbed by some "the new Madonna" for her bold style and performances. She embodies a generation of assertive pop stars who are as provocative as they are captivating, while simultaneously asserting a unique artistic identity.<\/p>\n
Born in 2003 in Bratislava, Slovakia, Ad\u00e9la grew up surrounded by ballet in Moscow from the age of three and was inspired by Hannah Montana to dream of a career in music. A self-taught dancer, she learned English by watching American television series and quickly felt "Americanized," which set her apart from conservative Slovak society. As a teenager, she joined the Vienna State Ballet, then moved to London and Los Angeles to pursue her career.<\/p>\n
In 2023, she participated in Dream Academy, a survival show, where she was eliminated early despite a performance of "Pink Venom" by the South Korean K-pop girl group Blackpink. This experience, which she describes as "the worst year of her life," propelled her to stardom via the Netflix docuseries "Pop Star Academy: Katseye". <\/p>\n
