This is a quote from Adele, "I taught myself how to sing by listening to Ella Fitzgerald for acrobatics and scales, Etta James for passion and Roberta Flack for control."

I love her. And I REALLY love the fact that she refuses to use any auto-tuning on her albums. She has a god-given, natural talent. I love the rawness of her voice!

Every now and then there are crystal clear voices that come along. For me, there was Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Barbara Streisand, Dolly Parton, Whitney Houston and now Adele. I like "Skyfall" and "Rumor has it".

"Hello" still rips my heart out. And "Easy on Me" is glorious.

Adele and Amy Winehouse two amazing English female singers.

Adele is amazing and shes like 19 years old here!

Some facts about her : She is definitely one of the best singers of our generation. Her albums 21 and 25 are the best selling albums of the 21 st century. This song Rolling in the deep spent 64 insane weeks on Billboard Hot 100 and has sold 46M copies worldwide . She is the best selling artist of our generation by a huge margin Her album 25 is the fastest selling album ever with 3.38 mill copies sold in just a week in US alone. Only artist of this gen to have 2 albums sell 20M. She is Queen and King of Pure sales . People flock to buy her albums . Noone is close to her in this. Eg: Even after Billboard changed a lot of rules ,her new album 30 sold 850k+ in a week out of which 678k+ came from pure sales . 10 million + people waited to get tickets to her tour which sold out in 2 minutes. Present day her 2 days Hyde Park concert saw 1.3M people wait for concert ticket for 65000 tickets . In short she is the biggest Musical artist of our times.

One of the strongest voices of the past few decades. Another one is Amy Winehouse. You should check out her "Back to Black," if you haven't already.

This is from her Tiny Desk Concert at NPR. They’ve had everyone on in this capacity. ❤She’s 19 here!!!!

Good grief this is live and its absolutely incredible. What a talent she has.

She’s incredible and especially incredible live. You should check out When We Were Young (live at Church Studios), Set Fire to the Rain (live at Royal Albert Hall) and All I Ask (from her concert at Hyde Park for a recent performance).

Adele is an exceptional artist; her voice is beautiful

How can anyone over the age of 12 not have ever have heard Adele??

She sings this live at Royal Albert Hall. That with the drums and piano is much much better. But showcases her pitch perfect voice.

She has so much soul, you just can't help but feel it whenever she sings

The raw power of her voice is a force of nature🌻🌻

When this hit the charts was the 1st I heard of Adele, been a big fan ever since. Such a powerful voice and lyrics. She not only sing, but plays multiple instruments and writes most of her own material. Got a record contract at 18 a week after graduating from a London performing arts school. You need to listen to the studio version.

Love Adele Another great British singer but from my era is Alison Moyet. Incredible voice - still going strong. She was in a band called Yazoo before going solo. Try 'All cried out' for some incredible vocals

Wow I never heard this song unplugged before. I fell in love all over again. Where is she singing? Looks like an old music shop. Like the old used book stores. Remember those?

I had to put Adele on my Rushmore of female pop singers. It was just Whitney, Mariah and Celine for decades. Adele gives me some hope for modern music. Glad you enjoyed man!

I found you for your Tool reactions. I despise pop music. But this woman is like Stapleton-ain’t NO denying their voices are gold.

Adele is as you said just effortless, she was born with the gift, love her, but I love watching your reactions too. I watched you play Grank Funk from my day growing up, always love to watch you.

She is amazing. Rumor Has It, Someone Like You, and Hello should be next on your lisr from her.

Her performance at Royal Albert Hall is well worth watching!

I would absolutely 💯 love to see you react to the very first Adele song I ever heard. I don't think it was her "break-out" song, because not a lot of people to this day are familiar with it (at least, I haven't heard it mentioned very often). When I heard it I had no idea who she was, but I instantly knew I'd heard someone destined for greatness! The name of the song is "Chasing Pavements". It's STILL my favorite Adele song! Thank you!

She is one of if not the greatest white female singers ever.

I can’t even listen to her it gets me all teary with a lump in my throat.

Turning Tables is my favorite of her songs. The version at Royal Albert Hall brings me to tears, every time.

Check out the studio version if you get the chance! Great best with the build up, and choir in the background!

She's great, great music and very fun to sing along to.

Thank You for posting this.

Great reaction! She truly has an amazing and authentic voice. The power of those vocals is just "wow". Thanks again! Keep listening...

This is a recording in the "NPR tiny desk concert" series. It's a great place to see how artists perform live. I highly recommend the tiny desk Sting and Shaggy team up as your next watch.

Adele is amazing :) One and Only is one of my favorites by her as well! Thanks for what you do, you introduced me to Harry Mack and my mind has been blown ever since!

Who knew ANYONE could sound good singing in a library? Adele is amazing every single time I hear her.

Check out her song Chasing Pavements. Wicked.

Studio version is incredible as well. I've never seen this before - Her vocal talent is amazing!

I love Turning Tables. All of her music is great.

she is amazing

Adele can sing! In other news water is wet...

Really glad you shared this because I never saw this version

Adelle is amazing and very down to Earth lady.

I love Tiny Desk Concerts. A lot of great stuff there. Adele is amazing

Adele Someone Like You Live at Royal Albert Hall ... - KZfaq this is another really emotionally beautiful song.

Adele is the only singer ive seen that sits so casually but belts it all out❤

She is the best voice of this generation . It is the next level ! ❤I don’t listen to her songs to much but she is in the highest level of artist of this time .

Definitely need to get some more Adele reactions! 😊

The music video for this song is so bad ass. You should check it out one day.

You must listen to the full recording of this song. It will blow you out of your seat! Truly!

She and Rag N Bone Man have been my British pop highlights of recent years (there haven't been many for me)

She is so golden

Hello from Cody Wyoming! You're awesome keep it up😊

Well done! Looking forward to your "Easy on me" reaction.

Lol. Just coming across your page. I love that you haven't heard all of these incredibly incredibly famous people.. 😆. Idk why I'm getting so much of a kick out of it.

That setting is the best place to show off vocal ability as its not really set up for great acoustics and great singers can show off how great they are without all the electronic help. Adele does just that.

Check out carpool karaoke with all kind of actors and singers also Adele.

She’s the 🐐

Love the channel man. Huge Adele fan, if you want another live song that'll blow you away check out "To Be Loved" it's live in her living room. Off her most recent album!

A little bit of a different type of video to react to but check out Adele Carpool Karaoke with James Corden. Guaranteed that you will enjoy it. Funny and she shows off some talents that you wouldn’t expect.

I liked this version. Love her voice of course. Polo, seriously, never heard of Adele? Where you been living, on the moon? JK. Love your silky smooth voice and chill reactions. 🙏

How could you not have heard her?

If you like this 'small room' recording you have to listen to her video, stunning voice, stunning bass, stunning video.

Amy Winehouse RIP and Adele omg

I can’t imagine not liking Adele’s voice. I love that you chose to listen to the Tiny Desk Concert version. The NPR music reporter invites acts to come perform behind his desk. The space is intimate and bands often go acoustic for the set. Check out Macklemore’s Tiny Desk Concert for a hugely different use of the space!

The girl can sing

Bro first time hearing Adele? Love the channel 🙏🏼

You must watch her live at Glastonbury and in London at the Royal Albert Hall.

THAT pause RIGHT before the vocal starts 🤣

Adele may owe a bit of her rocket to fame with the passing of Amy (Winehouse)

You should react to Hello and Someone like you, she has so many great songs

recommendation to your channel: always react to the studio version, since that is what most people will know, and the version that made the song famous :)

Wowsis

Her voice is so powerful she really needs some instruments behind her I think. There's a video of her doing this song live in a little studio, not sure where but it was possibly a radio station and they actually had instruments and back up singers. It was incredible. I love this song but didn't really care for this version. I felt it wasn't balanced. Those pipes can stream roll light backup.

Those Tiny Desk concerts are fun. A lot of artists have forgone the lavish productions for NPR's Tiny Desk.

❤

She's a true unique talent! Most sound alike these days.

Easily my favorite female singer.

She's got more. Power in those. Pipes occurs, it's fun, mama. And she's a beautiful soul

Chester Bennington and Linkin Park do an unbelievable cover of this!💯💥👈🤨

DOOOD ! Where have you been the last 10 years.... She's been laying waste to the charts for years. She has a "once in a lifetime" voice. I'm 74 & have always loved clear,well controlled voices,male & female. Adele is special. Some of her concert videos are enthralling. This clip just shows her raw talent (did I dare say raw !) Recordings are good but some of her concert work is great

Wanna hear more!

☮️💙💙💙🔥

Wait till you hear the produced version. The video is dope too.

Another woman with an amazing voice worth checking out if you haven't, Lzzy Hale of Halestorm. Halestorm - "I Am The Fire" 🔥🔥🔥🔥😎

Adele and Teddy 🤞🙏

You should listen to Woman Like Me from her newest album. Absolutely incredible

🙌❤️

Adel gives me the chills like Whitney Houston did back in the day

I can tell by the book case's this is a tiny desk concert

I LOVE her stank face

You should react to the live perfomance at Grammy awards 2012 (there's not on youtube)

I remember hearing at the time that she wrote this song in response to a breakup with her former boyfriend & he tried to cash in on her royalties because he was the inspiration for the song. Of course that didn’t happen, but just goes to prove she was well rid of him, lol.

I think Adele is this generations Whitney. Let’s be real though, Whitney was one of a kind.

If you discover any other songs by her that you particularly love, I’d enjoy hearing your commentary.

You should listen to chester bennington of linkin park sing this live, absolutely incredible

She is as common as they get.

Great reaction bro. You gotta check out the linkin park cover of this song. Epic.

Yeah, she sneajs roght up on you saying, "y'all didn't know i could belt it out like this!"

Oh... and there's a great Jamie xx remix of this song featuring Childish Gambino.

Polo, I think you would love Martina McBride
