The microphone in question has a hypercardioid polar pattern, which makes it pick up signal from further away and it's also used for us to hear her sing!
periurban could have used some pitch correction here and there. Flat and off key in spots as well as nasally. Painful at times. I was surprised because she's usually great.
Love that she's still got her coat and gloves on and her bag on her shoulder. Like "yeah hold on let me just sing a few songs for these people for a minute then we'll go to the bar"
This was actually my first official exposure to Adele, and I was so taken aback by the contrast between her speaking and singing voices. She speaks so softly and almost timidly, but then she starts singing with one of the most commanding and powerful voices I've ever heard. Astounding artist.
What a nice first experience. I still can’t find the first video I ever saw of her. It’s her and her guitar player on the beach I think singing rolling in the deep?
Well actually.. tbh... Every, I mean EVERY TIME she hits the "high" notes, I get SUPER stressed because it sounds like she is straining.... I'm always like oh I hope she can hit the notes... 😶🙊
***** - The difference between you and I is that I *do* have my shit together whereas you are a follower of others that don't use proper English YO. Additionally I do my best to comment with positive notes included. I noticed you commented on another NPR TDC which included The Pixies where you said NPR blew it because a certain song you felt should have been included wasn't. Dude, if you know what's going on, you'd realize NPR has NOTHING to do with what the song list will be. This is left up to the performers as to which songs will be played. It's called TINY Desk Concert for a reason. It is a *small* sampling of the artists' work. Be more positive and your life will become much more satisfying.
Many moons ago, my friend who had followed her heart to Ireland told me of this amazing singer over there and that I should have a listen. Of course 'Chasing Pavements' was the song to hear and I fell in love. Then after returning back home to Toronto, my friend surprised me one night with tickets to go see Adele at Massey Hall (40$ a ticket too). On stage appeared the shy Adele adorned in a stripped t-shirt and leggings, and no shoes, just socks. She was humble as she gushed over our city (of course as they do) and just sat on the stool in the middle of the stage. It felt like I was sitting in her home listening to her belt out her ballads of moments in her life that had torn her apart and sewn her back together again. It truly was a magical night that I will never forget.
I’m from Toronto(ish) too and I would have loved to see that show. The two best concerts of my life were at Massey Hall; Joe Jackson in ‘82 and Regina Spektor earlier this year
never said she was Irish, but my friend who was staying there said they were playing her song "Chasing Pavements" on the radio, and that I should have a listen.@@mr.monotonous6659
@@mr.monotonous6659 They said Adele was "over there" in Ireland where their friend followed their heart to go, and never said Adele was Irish or from there. Adele was in Ireland many times, but for sure specificcally on tour in 2008 when Chasing Pavements was 'the song to hear" because it was literally the song the show ended on. Nice "nice try though" try, though. Don't be insufferable. Nobody thinks you're cool; even you -- being a snotty person is the easiest laziest thing to do. Expect more from yourself. Nobody was being weird or antagonistic. It was someone sharing a nice story in a nice video of music. Since nobody's that fragile, next time you feel like saying something like that, don't, and move on.
It's a masterclass is "less is more" and telling stories. I love the guitar player - his eyes are closed nearly throughout 'Someone Like You', completely immersed and letting the whole experience wash over him. What a privilege, sat next to Adele while she sings her heart out like always but in such close proximity.
If there is, it's very subtle. And she is some distance away from the mic, which is different than holding the mic 2 cm from her lips, like most weak singers do. I'm no expert, but I think she's for real a few classes above any other pop stars.
When they did the zoom in on her face at the beginning of Rolling in the Deep, I was so transfixed watching the shapes she was making with her mouth to get all round-toned and resonant that I didn't realize I was just inches from the monitor, and when she belllowed the "could've have it AAAAALLLL" the sound coming from her mouth actually blew my hair back.
A crappy little office, but with great microphones is in some ways the best of all possible venues, because even the best singers will do even better in an intimate setting than a big venue. You can underestimate the power of looking directly into people's eyes when emoting to them.
The office is in no way crappy nor is it small. It is also being recorded on some of the best mics around, And one or more people working live sound. which includes eq, compression, and delay/reverb, gates, etc. It is amazing what you can do with a computer and a great microphone plus amazing artist and engineers.
I'd be honored if some Adele fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal cover (live, no autotune) of PRAYING FOR TIME on my channel in tribute to the great GEORGE MICHAEL. The man hasn't gotten his due for all the contributions he made to modern music as a vocalist, songwriter and producer. But eventually he will get his due. THANK YOU GEORGE. WE MISS YOU.
And no one mention she is singing this perfect while sitting down! If you are a singer you know how difficult this is, specially while hitting those high notes. I am so excited I'll get to see her live in Las Vegas this upcoming November.
@@alejandrapedrozo Best concert of my life. The fact the she sounds as or better than her studio albums is amazing. The concert felt so short even tho it was 2 hrs.
NPR really does an amazing job at providing truly Raw showings of artists. After being introduced to the music scene, I’ve never felt music stronger than in small performances like these. Tiny Desk is the Perfect example of this. No big audio controller to change everything like a big stage show, no editing from recordings, just pure, unfiltered joy ringing from the musicians expressing their emotions. This platform has made me truly love my favorites on a whole new level, when I know it’s hard to get into small shows on big artists. Thank you, NPR, I’ve overlooked Adele for years and this video made me realize how good she actually is.
I could not agree more, THIS is what music is suppose to be 90% of the time, there is a time & place for full production stuff but 90% of the time these intimate performances are what allow people to "FEEL" the story
she's really unbelievable. Her voice so powerful, it sound so smooth and clear, and with almost no stress at all. What a singer, just her voice and two instruments.
This woman is one the finest songwriters and singers our United Kingdom has ever produced. She has light and shade, power and passion, and just superb vocal control, range and tone
I listened to it thinking to myself, "Should I give up (on this deadend relationship) or should I just keep hoping for a lost cause?" . . Then I remembered that I am single AF and had been single for years. _5ft 1xx pounds Indonesian woman (like I'd announce my weight. Ha!)_
+PermanentMarkerism Only the taxi drivers in England talk with a British accent because there is always a taxi driver driving an American around in movies set in London.
+Jonathan Gibbs Really, thats funny ....when Kerry Manning mentioned it I had no idea what she was referring to, to me she sounds like a college professor, so nice and decent ..i'm from New York and taxi drivers don't sound like that over here hahaha so it was weird to me...anyway cheers! you guys have a beautiful singer representing you.

Adele needs to do a new Tiny desk concert
She sure does. And with more than three songs next time!
after what the camera man did, she may never 😂😂😂
I was just saying same
I like applesauce
I really need that
Sound production modern perfect.

Dad at disney circa 1984 hilarious

Omg exact 😹
I kind of like it, makes it seem more authentic
the way she changes from her talking voice to her singing voice is so crazy to me, she is easly the most talented singer of our generation.

@@brgvcwhy
her singing voice is so deep and soulful... her normal voice is so British and endearing, I can't explain it
I noticed that 😂
And that cackle-laugh, though! I love her 😝💜
Would just like to say her voice is basically a typical London accent, not British. None of my friends or family sound like her
@@TheJewadbashir It's not really strange , when you sing it's perfectly natural to you,.
@@lucko1979 all my friends and family sound like her, but we are from Essex.
No effects. No pitch correction. No multiple takes. No room ambience. Just that voice. It's enough.

There is a reason all the other pop singing "queens" are yet to be seen on one of these.
The microphone in question has a hypercardioid polar pattern, which makes it pick up signal from further away and it's also used for us to hear her sing!

Clearly the best tiny desk concert in history. Its just perfect, her vooice gives me peace.

Same here. Timelessly beautiful

KEVEN same 🥺
Her singing is just effortlessly fantastic. Just an exquisite set of pipes on the girl. Gives me chills.
She made hitting notes perfectly appear effortless. Talent.
@jaredyjaredy Not limited talent, awareness. It's not appropriate to belt out high sections of her songs in an intimate room and stuffy acoustics.
Always.. Shes better live most of time. .. Still ❤
@Stephens Stephens You don't need to be a scientist to teach science.
@jaredyjaredy Talent is to know when to sing to your capability, not to hit the highest possible not.
Well actually.. tbh... Every, I mean EVERY TIME she hits the "high" notes, I get SUPER stressed because it sounds like she is straining.... I'm always like oh I hope she can hit the notes... 😶🙊
When she talks she souds so cuteee and then she starts singing and its fiREE

Today I learned what the back on Adele’s uvula looks like. I can knock that one off my bucket list. Thanks cameraman!

This is the voice of a *true* singer. No effects needed, just plain, simple, chocolatey voice sounding like velvet. *Adele is the Queen!*
Florence Welch
Actually, that black thing in front of her at 2:42 is a microphone
Samanta Figueroa Yes, but no effects are added.. thats plain recording. You wouldnt be listening to this if that mic wasnt there...
She is quite spectacular. She even said "sidewalks" instead of pavements :-)

@@lucasf6689 so much passion too. got chills. no record ever gives me chills. so much freaking frisson in this video
Exactly..even her live performances are sometimes better..Adele doesn't have autotune in her dictionary ..
Just a piano, a guitar, a microphone, and Adele... and she doesn't sing a single note wrong. TALENT.
Don't forget the zoom cameraman
For real, it's rare for artist to sound the same without the studio.
Some even sound horrible live.
She did sing notes wrong, but that’s not that important with live performances. It’s more about intention and overall energy
@@luukwoudstra8903 Agreed. I think it adds character and emotion you just don't get from the final polished versions.
No autotune , no reverb, nothing but pure amazing talent!
We needed a solid 2 hours with Adele😩
Scary.... how many vocalists can deliver such perfect performance? Casual premium quality.
One of the easiest job on earth is to edit her voice into studio quality, because it sounds already like studio quality. Bravo adele

she's really unbelievable. Her voice so powerful, it sound so smooth and clear, and with almost no stress at all. What a singer, just her voice and two instruments.
Please get a comeback TinyDesk woth Adele this 2024.
9 years later and I got the chills as soon as she started singing
Adriana Laureano literally. I had to pause and take that in again.
She's 23 in this video... Crazy
Amus
Wtf. I'M 23. Lmao
I guarantee she will look exactly the same until she’s 50
She grew up fast!
Everyone is 23....once
I've heard a lot of these Tiny Desk performances and some of them are exceptional, but this...this is something else.
Her voice is MAGICAL. Makes you feel all the feelings, good or sad.
Adele: *hits the high notes*

Dude it just happened when I read this
This was almost a decade ago. That’s what you call timeless music. Incredible 🎼
This woman is one the finest songwriters and singers our United Kingdom has ever produced. She has light and shade, power and passion, and just superb vocal control, range and tone

Love this. We're all different.. But amazing talent & beautiful music is universal. 💙👏👊✌
I listened to it thinking to myself, "Should I give up (on this deadend relationship) or should I just keep hoping for a lost cause?"

Then I remembered that I am single AF and had been single for years.

I will never tire of her taxi driver accent. It's as perfect as her voice.
Taxi driver accent? Really lol
+PermanentMarkerism Only the taxi drivers in England talk with a British accent because there is always a taxi driver driving an American around in movies set in London.
+Jonathan Gibbs Really, thats funny ....when Kerry Manning mentioned it I had no idea what she was referring to, to me she sounds like a college professor, so nice and decent ..i'm from New York and taxi drivers don't sound like that over here hahaha so it was weird to me...anyway cheers! you guys have a beautiful singer representing you.
+Kerry Manning Wouldn't it be funny if you got into a cab and there was Adele...driving.
+Kerry Manning haha
Patiently waiting for her to come back..
You're very beautiful. Just wanted to let you know.
Chris Watson Its ashamed she couldn't even tell you thank you. smh
