Hey everyone!
I am such a huge fan of the James Bond series, as well as an Adele fan, so when this new song came out I couldn't resist doing an arrangement. As a music major I have had the opportunity to meet so many incredibly talented friends - I have also wanted to showcase their talent for quite some time, and I thought that this was the perfect opportunity to do so. I think you will all agree that this arrangement really came to life with the help of my good friends Nicola Bertoni (vocals) and Anna Kobylski (cello) to whom I cannot express enough gratitude towards. I had a very specific vision for this video and they made it a reality with their wonderful performances. HUGE thanks to Griffin, Christian, Elliot, and Dan for making the wonderful video to compliment the arrangement. I hope you all enjoy the video :)

I'll be honest .. I wasn't really much of a fan of Adele's version of this. But this version has given me goosebumps. It's sooooo good. Performed beautifully.

You've gotten some really rough reviews. Having been in radio for almost 40 yrs, let me say you guys did an awesome job. The unplugged version per say. The instrumentals were awesome and the vocals were great. Today too many women try to do vocal aerobics and don't hold a note but go all over the place. You sang it beautifully and classically. Ignore the immature remarks. Be proud of the awesome job.

keep in mind when shooting a video like this they will have several takes to get all the angles, its possible the cello player thought they were at a different part when restarting in the middle to take some shots

Very well done and put together but the vocals will never match up to the quality of everything else. It's the small things that make the biggest difference in terms of singers. I hate how she sings "together" and how she ends different words and isn't consistent in terms of different parts of the same lines. Good for a cover, but could be much better.

@Luffy3460 10 жыл бұрын

I really can't agree with a criticism such as that. It's one thing to criticize the quality of a voice, but another thing entirely to criticize the way one says some words. There's too many variables present in a singers voice, their accent, where they grew up, how they were taught to sing, etc. that make a criticism based solely on the way they say things almost entirely null and void.

@joshmdmd 10 жыл бұрын

The best singers practice every syllable of every word to make it match the song and perfect it. They won't settle for less. Letting your accent put your words off tune and out of place is just sloppy when you consider than the best of the best singers can sing songs perfectly in languages they don't speak. My critique is fair. You have to remember she's not speaking. She's singing. Leaving sloppy bits in an otherwise perfect rendition of the song butchers it. If you're taught to sing (which she most likely has no formal training or she refused to fix parts of her voice) wrong then should you continue to sing wrong?
