Live performances give you what the artist has to offer at that moment. And each listener takes away that memory, good or bad. But the best thing about Adele is she gives exactly who she is, no clown makeup or shaking her ass. It's her and that's what makes her unique. And she is fantastic.
eric croxton No doubt that she has abundant talent but clown make-up is evident in the Miss Piggy type eyelashes that she has adorned herself with. Adele has refreshed my interest in music in that she has the confidence to bare her emotions so that the listener is awed by her vocal talent and she only sings with awesome clarity. I suppose the eyelashes are trivial but only in the backdrop to other performers who need gimmicks; autotune, fire, smoke, scantily clad backup dancers to distract from their shortcomings as mediocre " Artists ". Adele is a rare One and Only.
laser325 It's obvious you wouldn't know what good music is even if it smacked you in the face. I've already wasted too much time with you. I've got more important things to do, like scratch my ass. Good day sir.
What a lot of people are missing is, that this is a live performance, no record, mixed up and tuned for its best. this ist pure voicepower from one of the best
Uh-huh. You ever hear opera (or vocal jazz for that matter)? There are literally thousands of people who have better voices and are better singers can than Adele. They're just not pop stars.
Good lord. She is pitch perfect throughout. Not many artists, even famous ones, can claim that. She is not lip syncing either! What a talent she is. Love or hate her music, she is an amazing singer.
There's so much to ask of a singer who has pushed his/herself to hit the high notes she did, and sing them perfectly in front of an audience like this? I enjoyed listening to this.
Adele is excellent. Great stage layout, color, and lighting. This fits Adele perfectly. Great dress- as always, and the others (on stage) look great, too. Adele shows that this is the best that music has to offer. What fun and triumph!
It is directed at someone. I'm sure a very sorry now someone who likely belittled her, told her she'd never be anything & worse. I don't feel bad for whoever it is.
+Naomi Martin yeah!! thats exactly what i was thinking Naomi! how the hell can these people remain sitting on their asses with that magnificent performance...
+Irving Adrian To explain this really quickly. This performance was at the 'Echo', the German 'Grammy' if you will. German audiences tend to be more reserved to begin with (I think because in the 80's German audiences were supposedly known for clapping out of tune all the time and now they don't want to be 'those guys' anymore) Anyway, this award show is mostly musicians, composers and producers in the audience and not fans, meaning the audience is extra 'stiff'. They want to give the artist the respect of letting them perform their thing, listening carefully and not interrupt them by clapping or anything. It has nothing to do with the performance or the artist, it's supposed to be a sign of respect. If you watch other 'Echo' performances you will see that this specific audience (no motter what year) is just generally very 'conservative'. That's it, greetings form Germany btw
No offense taken here :) I sometimes find it frustrating as well, especially when the artist is trying to get the audience to participate. Just trying to give some insight :D Have a nice day ;)
For all the people that said that this version was out of tune, 'was bettered by somebody else' and whatnot, you have to realise that things that start of with 'the best' is often subjective. I just thought this one was a really good performance because the emotion came through for me Thank you all for watching :)
Koko Adam Yep, it's not out of tune at all, but maybe people are saying that because it's a semitone lower than the normal key, so just a different key, not out of tune.
Adele's music is euphoric to me! I love every single song from her "21" album! Its just pure perfection at its most perfect! Wow, this woman has a voice that can wake up the dead! Love Adele!
She is amazing and she is one of my favorite female vocal artists!! It just saddens me that she has no plans for a new Album. Yes she had a baby and wanted time to be with the baby. But come on Adele you have so many Fans that love you. We want to hear more from you
From all the live versions I have seen I agree with you. Her voice is far more powerful and perfect in the Royal Albert Hall version. Also her interaction with the audience and emotions are on fire too.
Adele whoever hurt you like they did, shame on them! I'm certainly glad you're able to share it w/ us thru your music. The words you sing are so touching, i truly feel them in my heart & soul. Thank you again for opening up & sharing. The world is lucky to have you in it.
of all live performance by adele, i would say this one is simply FLAWLESS.. her voice just like in the recording song, she sing like it was damn so easy, hahaha and the music as well as audio team are perfect!
Love the fact that she knows we all miss her and she doesn't give a f**k cause she's living a happy family life. That makes her more awesome and admirable to me!
First time I heard this because my girlfriend played it, I didn't like it. But I'm glad I got to hear that girl sing live, her accent gives something even more special to her voice.. She is astonishing.
Outstanding!! What a powerful and passionate voice, with a special gift of sharing that, passion and feeling with her listeners... True musician...and lyrical legend... Total respect Adele. X
Adele talent is beyond my word capacity. She is 1 of 2 people to compose 1 of the greatest songs ever with meaningful lyrics & absolutely magnificent use of musical instruments to accompany Adele's heavenly voice so perfectly.
She is so good all her songs come from her heart and her soul been along that a singer sang like this she the greatest and all her back up singer dont miss a beat they all enjoy who they sing with and they lay out
What's wrong with whistles they sound beautiful if you use them correctly and control them take mariah Carey for example either way adele is amazing whistles or not
luv ya, Adele! :) Amazing voice She doesn't even look like she is trying and yet she sounds so flawless omg She makes all, let me emphasis it, ALL, her performances look super effortless.
Betty Sturgeon most singers sound way different in live stage than auto tuned songs but Adele has auto tune too but Adele has the best voice without auto tune whatsoever
Beautiful voice!!!! What a talent! Congrats to her! This voice box is to be used cleverly & smartly so that we can enjoy her always! Thanks for posting!
watching Adele sing this song and watching her time after time sing the same song is like watching her like the very first time. what make us so glued to her? what makes us sing with her? WOW...!
Lol, not grammy's, but a german music awards show with the name 'Echo'. The audience in the front are all celebs and celebs usually don't party hard or so when there's a performance at a serious ceremony xD But I guess the fans in the back went crazy haha
I did watch the video ( twice) and my comment was not aimed at Adele and her performance. I like her and this song, if you watch the audience why she is singing you can see no one moves during the the whole song. Go watch the 2012 Grammy, she sings this song and the audience is like night and day compared to this one. The next time you make a comment, try to comprehend what the person is talking about before you make a comment.
First of all, 90% of the audience is made of industry people and other invited (so-called) VIP's, not fans! Secondly, Germans aren't used to sitting during concerts, and especially at award shows, they are urged to keep sitting... But you can hear them at the end, did they sound unappreciative?
1:15 - 1:33 is by far the best part...the way she says the word with power like 1:22 when she says "Burn" The Letter B has so much power and she kills it, the way she sings the song live...every single time.
Dear Taylor Swift, I think It's best that you pack your bags and your music gear and find a quiet place to take a vacation (NZ or Aussie) because Adele is back and she's gonna take over. Yours sincerely. Adele's Fan
