I, too, avoided the Adele bandwagon for a while bc of all of the hype. What a waste of time that was for me! Almost every time I hear her, I cry. She is gutteral, visceral, raw, vulnerable, and at the same time completely pitch perfect, absolutely inspired, life- (in all its facets) affirming, soulful. She's effing magic.
Ye I used to kinda avoid Artists who had massive hype and following and then gave them a listen and realised what a terrible mistake that was, I missed out on a lot of Rihanna, Coldplay, Eminem, Kanye West etc just because I didn't bother listening to the rest of their stuff other than the massive hit. They're now my favourite artists and I wish I had paid more attention to them earlier because Rihanna hasn't made music in 4/5 years now
I watched her perform this song live at the Grammys and Brit awards in 2012 , just after she returned from throat surgery . I would have to say she was even better live
Check out Adele performing her song "Someone like you" at the 2011 Brit Awards. That's when I discovered her. No flashy pyro-effects, no over-hyped stage show - just her, a pianist and that amazing voice. I swear I had tears running down my face.
A great piece of trivia: Amy Winehouse, Adele and Leona Lewis all attended the same London performing arts High School (not at the same time). But they all had the same voice teacher there. He really taught them how to sing very well and control their big voices.
@@sherlockhemlock5655 I wish I could remember his name. They were all incredibly gifted singers even by that young age. If you noticed they all sing slightly behind the beat, which give them all that slight blue/jazz cadence. He taught them that. And to enunciate their lyrics very well
Her first albums were titled after her age when they were released: “19”, “21” and “25”. “Rolling in the Deep” was the biggest song of her career (so far)-and she’s one of the few singers to win “Song of the Year” and “Record of the Year” at the Grammys-TWICE. She won for “Rolling in the Deep” and “21”, and then won again for “Hello” and “25”. She also has an Oscar for “Skyfall”, the theme song for the James Bond thriller, “Skyfall”. She wrote “Skyfall”. And she writes or co-writes every song she records.
So true. I remember seeing a clip of one of her concerts, may have been outdoors, and she was being swarmed by bees or something. 👍🏻🤣 Her reaction was hilarious.
“Rumour Has It”, “Turning Tables” are a couple of other great Adele songs. Gosh, I truly love to see people exposed to the richness that exists within music. It’s a joy to see your first reactions to some amazing music.
Some singers give me chills, Adele is one of them. Her vocals are absolutely breathtaking. I love your reaction, she's got you mesmerized...as she does us all. ❤
I saw the title of the video and immediately rushed in. There are a few songs that you can never quite look at music the same again after hearing them... this is one
Adele is such a natural talent, she is completely effortless! I know it would be a departure from what you normally react to, but her episode of carpool karaoke with James Cordon was amazing - it was just after Hello came out and definitely shows how well she can sing live, as well as how awesome of a person she is too!
This kind of video is one of the reasons I love watching song reactions. Seeing someone discover how great an artist is - it's just so infections and fun! Adele is a great artist. Also it's so weird to hear her talk in a British accent since she sing in an American Southern accent. It's like with Amy Whinehouse and Billie Holiday - you just know Adele listened to and loved a lot of singers with southern accents, so that became part of her voice, too.
@@Veronikabp63 James Cordon is the worst thing to come out of England into America since John Oliver. I would legit hate that guy if it wasn't for gavin and Stacey. Such an overrated, try hard wannabe. So much exceptional talent in this country and that's the guy that ends up being America's sweetheart? Now if someone like Bob mortimer or Sean lock had his amount of luck, I could totally support that. Corden though. He's not even half way up the British comedy ladder.
This was the first song I heard of Adele's. I hadn't heard of her before at the time. She had been on a late night talk show singing this... I was asleep on the couch and woke up to this song, and I was like, "Damn! Who IS that?" It blew me away! She had me hooked on this song.
She has this powerful voice, but her control of it is huge ! She writes a lot of her songs, most I think. She is also a funny, down to earth sweet heart, which is so nice. Thanks for the reaction, very genuine !
Your videos are some of the very few on UA-cam that bring me joy, a smile to my face. Warmth. It's a rare thing, these days. Don't ever let anyone tell you that your channel doesn't do important work. Thanks, brother.
24 you will find loads of great songs Someone like You.an Amazing Song..look for it.Brilliant .she sang that at The Royal Albert Hall with a Crowd of Thousands!
Adele has that kind of voice that comes along once in a generation. Just phenomenal vocals with lyrics that pull at your emotions! I agree that "Set Fire to the Rain" should be the next song by this truly fabulous artist. Glad you're finally exploring her music.
This was he first Adele Song I ever heard. I loved it so much I went out & bought the Album! Every song on it a banger. Never looked back, she puts out an album! I buy it.Good reaction. Yes, more please.
Other great Adele songs: Turning Tables, Someone Like You, Set Fire To The Rain, Don't You Remember. Frankly, you can hardly go wrong with Adele. Her music, voice and lyrics do something to my heart. Hearing her has changed me - she writes from the bottom of her soul. She was also great in concert! Please review a lot more of her! And yes, add her to your playlist!
She has 3 albums: "19", "21" and "25." They are named with numbers because that was her age when the album was produced and released. She wrote pretty much all the songs herself. They have all done well commercially and critically. "21" won six Grammys. This song alone won 3 Grammys. Wow!
I love "Chasing Pavements", "Someone Like You", 'Rolling in the Deep", "Set Fire to the Rain", "Turning Tables", and "Hello" the best. Adele is amazing.
Amazing she's just sitting in a chair and all that SOUND and EMOTION coming out of her. How about for another by her --- 'Send My Love...to your new lover' ?
She reminds of an artist from the 80’s called Alison Moyet (pronounced moy [as in boy] -yay). If you have a chance, check out two of her songs - All cried out and Invisible.
Might also mention to check out her work with Yazoo, as well 🙂 ... the first two seconds of any song from “Upstairs at Eric’s” STILL wipes forty years of grown-up off the top, and I’m suddenly fifteen again, sitting on my bed in the dark on a summer night with the window open, listening to the entire cassette beginning to end.
She is a very precious gem... When this video was released it was my first encounter with Adele. I could not believe that this woman, sitting in the chair was singing this incredible song. Her voice and genius get me every time :)
Her song Skyfall was the theme of a James Bond movie. The song won two Academy Awards and a Golden Globe. She performed it live at the Oscars that year. Phenomenal!
Just like you, I have heard of her but never really paid attention to any of her songs and never seen her videos but now I am liking what I hear too! Yes, I agree she sounds great in this song! Great reaction! Peace! ✌🏼☮
@@ms.chuckfu1088 Yes! 21 is great but my favorite album of her is 19 🤩 the album is more soulful than any other adele album! "hometown glory", "first love", "my same", "right as rain", and so many more
Wow this is insane You guys showed this video mad love. More Adele coming
Watch her “Brit awards” set. Amazing 🤩
You should watch the linkin park version at iTunes festival years ago. Amazing!
Please do manic street preachers - a design for life
Silk- loose control
Please react to prettymuch new song lonely its so good🔥🔥🔥 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😁
"Set fire to the rain" is another amazing Adele song that shows off her vocals
Hell yeah!
I completely agree!
I love that song.
Yessir!
The video of that song is powerful too!
"Rumour has it" is a seriously underrated Adele song
Yes!
My fave
My favourite 😃
Love that song
Great song!

Same here. Frankly I thought she would be like Lady Gaga, hype then...well...nothing special.
Probaby the best description I've ever read of Adele. :)
Even live she is note petfect
When she’s sings live she’s sounds exactly like her recordings and is pitch perfect 🤩 every time 💕🇬🇧
True! I caught a live radio performance while driving home one night with her performing this song & it was amazing.
I watched her perform this song live at the Grammys and Brit awards in 2012 , just after she returned from throat surgery . I would have to say she was even better live

Adele is one of the few artists I would pay to go see if see if she did nothing but sit in a chair and sing.
close 😂 she stands there. it's worth every penny

If you react to Someone Like You then please react to the live version at the Brit Awards 2011. Just beautiful
@@jbc745 Yaaass! ❤
Yes agreed
This this this
Live version on the Brit awards is amazing
Every single song on her “Adele- 21” album, is AMAZING!!
That's rare these days.
Some other amazing Adele songs are "chasing pavement" and "someone like you" and "when we were young" and "set fire to the rain"
The best Adele someone like you is the live British music pop awards
Beat me to it
When I first heard/saw the video for Chasing Pavements, I knew this girl was warming up to be BIG. God was I right, and how fortunate are we all ? ❤️
That is pure class, super star Adele.
She doesn't just have fantastic vocals in her singing, she is also the owner of a phenomenal potty mouth. She swears so well, it's delightful :)
We Brits love a bit of swearing 🤬😂
Best potty mouth in the industry 🥳 let alone her vocal and writing talents 😃
Same with Lewis Capaldi on BOTH counts! LOL!
So true. I remember seeing a clip of one of her concerts, may have been outdoors, and she was being swarmed by bees or something. 👍🏻🤣
Her reaction was hilarious.

Goosebumps is exactly what happens to me whenever I hear her voice.
“Skyfall” from the James Bond movie is an awesome song that she did. She’s amazing.
Live version is brilliant tbf .
won an Oscar and everything!
That’s my favorite Adèle song
My “most played” on my phone. Skyfall is fantastic.
100% agree 👍
I saw the title of the video and immediately rushed in.
There are a few songs that you can never quite look at music the same again after hearing them... this is one

She is not only a singer but also a songwriter.
Adele is such a badass, sittin down the whole time whilst belting out this op song ❤❤
Adele's "Someone Like You" - - really, trust me.
the live version at Royal Albert Hall or the Brit Awards
Live at the brits was just awe inspiring. Talented is such a small word for what this girl can do.
@@monkeytrumpet11 James Cordon summed it up "with a voice like that you only need a piano"

@@monkeytrumpet11 He is a comedian? I had no idea how he became famous. He is mildy amusing as a host, that's about it.
Adele performing “Someone like You” live at the BAFTAs is incredible, just her and a piano, no glitz, no glamour, no dancing and she is sensational.
Brit Awards not BAFTA
Oh shit! Now this is a voice🌹
This is the only reaction video channel I've seen that seems honest and has something intelligent to say.
Her vocal prowess is quite impressive. I love her deep rich timbre.
Hi from the UK , Adele deserves to be called the voice, it's just amazing, definitely a legend in the making. 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 .
So glad you discovered the amazing Adele.

Ur honesty & reaction are priceless
Great reaction Jovaughn. Check out her song "Set Fire to the Rain" - haunting and powerful with a killer vocal performance from Adele.
She sounds exactly like that in person. Listen to her live at Royal Albert Hall Concert.
What gets me every time is the fact that she was only 21 when she did this album

Turning Tables is one her my favorite Adele songs. Brilliant and beautiful!
Try 'Rumour Has It" next. Great song. She's as good or better live.
No , that is her worst song , repeating Rumor has it 100 times .

Adele is a class act. Reminds me of a modern day Alison Moyet.

With due respect to Alison Moyet, this girl has got a voice that is 10x better.
just 19 when she did this masterpiece xx

"Skyfall" and "When we were young" is another great Adele song
The point it builds up and she hits the high notes is total BOMB!
"Rumor Has It" is one of my favorites. You should definitely check that one out. Adele's music is incredible.

I strongly dislike modern music, then there's this song. Love it!
You haven't heard much modern stuff then...

And 21 is a reminder of how young she was on that album. And 19 is a pretty darn good album too.
@@ms.chuckfu1088 Yes! 21 is great but my favorite album of her is 19 🤩 the album is more soulful than any other adele album! "hometown glory", "first love", "my same", "right as rain", and so many more
One of the best pop songs of the century. That chorus is like a bomb: nothing is left standing after it detonates.
Ah yes. I am SO glad you are playing Adele. I love all her songs. In fact, Aretha Franklyn sang and recorded this song,which was co-written by Adele.
I love Adele. She just entertains with just her voice.
