I think it's a nice name and still usable even with Adele the singer being around. Adelle is the name of my DH's maternal grandmother and has been used various times on members of the family to honour her.

I only like it spelled Adele. I think it's usable, but you might have to deal with people saying, "Did you name her after the singer?" etc. Personally, I find it to be a very classy name.

I love Adelle. I think it's gorgeous. I don't think the singer makes it less usable; in fact it might make it more recognizable to people.

I don't like the double L. I think Adele looks better and neater. Also, if it's pronounced the same as Adele, everyone is going to assume it's spelled Adele because that is the much more common spelling.

Adele is beautiful and definitely useable.

I like it. The name Adele / Adelle was familiar to me long before the singer became popular, so she isn't the only association I have with the name. It's not like the singer has a made up name that basically only she has. I think it would be fine to use Adelle.

There is a cheesy restaurant here in town named Adell's, so I associate the name with that place before the singer. The name itself is okay, but I can't get the image of mini-skirted waitresses and neon-pink lighting out of my head. :/
