Adele - I Can't Make You Love Me (Live) Itunes Festival 2011 HD

[@brittanytiffany4687]

No matter who covers this song. The song itself is a masterpiece

[@daciasoulliere3923]

I was floored when she didn't win the Grammy for this song-it most definitely IS a masterpiece...

[@dawntavishflynn8802]

agreed

[@colsomemiah6095]

agreed; the only song i can recall that expresses this not uncommon emotion: rejection of a lover: but the soulful piano on bonnie's plus her sort of "southern melancholy" steals it....accentuates the heartbreak

[@aguywithagopro2036]

Who did the original?

[@kk10445]

Bonnie Raitt

[@jerseytomato100]

Such a sad song. I think almost everyone has felt this way once in their life. If you haven't, you're very fortunate.

[@greencase]

+jerseytomato100 or a liar

[@annemariechieco7489]

so sad but true cannot make anyone who did not lovr u

[@lilygrace6689]

+jerseytomato100 Very true. I remember telling a beautiful friend I didn't want to be THAT girl, and her responding "We all have been." I'd never seen her in such real pain.

[@jaydekukahikokealohanui2016]

jerseytomato100 I have thanks for pointing that out sir

[@bugger490]

jerseytomato100 , OMG, yes.

[@Your_Favorite_Season]

I need her to recover this! She's grown since this and I'd like to hear an updated version

[@izraeledades5685]

listen to the the royal albert hall live version

[@piaojiru]

when you thought you've finally gotten over someone and then you hear this voice. It all comes back to you. It's just so painful. It is beautiful.

[@errixmancao9380]

It's 2024 and I am still here listening to this. Anyone else?

[@TheSonnycheema]

You dumb clown

[@douglaskirbyl4684]

I am so fascinated by her. She is so lovely in so many ways. Just so nice and with an uncommon sense of humor for someone as famous as she is. There's such a beauty and elegance about her. Just so pretty. Dame Adele Adkins in 20 years. She loves her country so much. She is an ideal woman. Her husband is a truly blessed man.

[@moilalgeroise248]

i'm crying my heart out , it's his birthday today i can't even wish him a happy birthday ! we've become complete strangers now and this thought makes my heart ache even more

Hope u r okay now

[@mysticmaverick1]

I'm glad to see Adele sing this song because she is an international phenomenon and this will inevitably bring more attention to this powerful song and to Bonnie Raitt who brings tears to my ears every time I hear her sing it.

[@JimJones-xv6kk]

Adele's voice makes me cry whenever I hear it she is just such a wonderful singer!

[@annac9534]

Same.

[@sarina_friendlie]

My God! Please stop with these comments that nobody is able to sing this song apart from Bonnie Raitt or George Michael! She never tried to be better than one of them or something...she just sang a song she really likes and nothing is wrong with that.

[@RCSVirginia]

Rina Ling You are absolutely right! Every artist brings a different interpretation to a song, and that is one of the best things about covers. Each is unique.

[@sarina_friendlie]

Ron Charles I completely agree :)

[@RimaEln]

[@ajokeonigbanjo8275]

And Tank too

and BON IVER

[@JustJerri218]

WOW!!! I just got chills. I never thought anyone could do that song but Bonnie Raitt. Adele did a fabulous job, but then again, Adele IS fabulous!!!

[@kaungmyathtun1665]

Adele 2009: To make you feel my love Adele 2011: I can't make you love me Adele 2012: Nevermind I'll find someone like you

[@tsk.1921]

Adele 2015: I can't love you in the dark

[@ceeceebee5736]

This song is a universal truth, when someone breaks your heart you need to walk away. There are a lot of people out here chasing love, but what's really meant for you will always come. ❤ it's the truth and justice.

[@AISHANICOLEXO]

I close my eyes so then I don’t see, the love you don’t feel 💔

[@wearybutwilling]

Adele, of all the people that have sung this song trying to capture the bluesy voice of the great Bonnie Raitt, YOU have. You sing similar to her and can deliver the goods where I can feel the emotion that any great song puts forth. I love your work; You don't have to run around half naked to get attention. Your VOICE does it for you. Thank you for this remake. I can tell you put your heart into it!

[@wearybutwilling]

Nobody sung the blues and songs with feeling like the great Bonnie Rate. I DO get what you're saying. Thanks....OH, I do think the Wilson sisters(Heart ) sing rock and roll like nobody has done since J. Joplin. However, their voices are fantastic and they can play ANY instrument you can think of. Ann's flute skills are up there with another heavy hitter from the 70's, which is, of course, Ian Anderson of Tull.

[@wearybutwilling]

***** I'll check it out and let you know. Thanks.

[@wearybutwilling]

***** I'll have to listen and report back , Amy. Thanks.

[@duransfatima]

Essa mulher é um fenômeno !!!!! Canta com sua alma, tocando as nossas ADELE IS A PHENOMENON. WHEN SINGING, TOUCH OUR SOULS

[@mmadge2]

I love her rendition of this Bonnie Raitt song. Well done

[@jessicasarahliddell8883]

Love every single version of this song it’s just brilliant

[@carwashslayer4235]

It took such a special song to realize my boyfriend never loved me to begin with. He was my everything and then flat out told me how he was feeling weighted down by me. I gave my all and it looks like he wanted nothing to do with me. He was pressured into a situation and it led to a poor outcome. 1:15 really shakes me to the core. I love the cover of this song.

[@andrewprokopis9430]

i am a big bonnie raitt fan....i have to say that this cover was special and i appreciated Adele giving it her special touch to it...nice!

[@Daya1828]

This is my favorite version. She has such a powerful voice and it doesn't seem like she tries too hard. ♡ Adele. Sing to my soul, woman!

[@fernandopereirajor]

[@tameekahraberah8057]

One of my favorite versions of one of my favorite covers. That’s rare. Cheers to the universal language that is music.

[@Diana-ud3ki]

I cry every time. Her voice is flawless.

[@Yoditah]

Love her version , I honestly like every version, wish she sang it a bit more slow, but the words still felt the same and that's what matters. Thank goodness for heartbroken song writers, because if I didn't hear these songs I would feel so alone, like no one understood, but sadly many do.

[@jayeprouflis2300]

+Yodit Stiphanos I agree......

[@marzzitap]

I agree, I'm with you haha xc

[@paulflaks8826]

Same sister 😞

[@bigbomber11]

Her voice is incredible, and the tweaks to the piano chords are perfect. She does sound a bit pitchy, and she sounds like she rushed a few parts, but maaaaayyyyybe being just a little picky.

[@sunflower9481]

U should listen to bon iver's version

[@belindaflowers2628]

How does she DO it ??! Without drowning in tears...? I can't stop crying just by watching this

[@2233golf2]

This is so well sung.....her voice complements this song......could have been her own.... Thank you for posting.

[@Uncle-Bull]

2233golf2 Her voice is great, but this has no where near the emotional impact for me that Bon Iver’s version does. It’s as if he’s dying of a broken heart during the performance.

[@thomashayes8901]

I still love you LA even though you probably don't remember you were ever with me. The best time of my life which I stupidly gave up.

[@oliviastheone]

Iv'e heard almost all the popular version of singers doing this song,and no one comes close to Adeles version,perfect.Bonnie is the original singer and i saw her singing this years ago on tv,loved her singing it also.Bonnie and Adele sing it with two different styles but both are fantastic.

[@whitneyjohnson8082]

Absolutely beautiful!! Adele has such a powerful voice. Love her!!!!

[@patakel]

Such a good cover. Adele keeps it simple, just like the song is - simple, straightforward, the realization that there is nothing you can change.

[@thorc.8571]

My gosh U said it!!! ❤

[@louisebutler5953]

only evildoers dont . she brings heaven down to earth. we are so fortunate to hear her beautiful thoughts in her songs. she is wonderful.

[@worldweary7531]

I like it when singers 'cover' other singer's songs.

[@inept_lune.]

I cry every time I hear this song, regardless of who sings it! Adele has such a powerful voice that moves you no matter what she sings!

[@christianhaidacher8037]

Adele amazes me every time I listen to her. Her voice is tremendous and the way she puts emotions in every song is simply incredible. I usually don't cry to music but every time I listen and watch an Adele performance I am in tears. That song is phenomenal and it is perfectly sung by a perfect vocalist. To say that Adele is talented would really be an understatement. She is so much more than just a talent and listening to her is simply a pleasure.

[@marwatarek741]

Adele's cover is amazing i can't stop listening to it ❤

[@rdoronila]

Listening to Adele is an ultimate way of chugging a gallon of pain. She is such a en emotional singer. Love it!

[@kathiealtieri]

I have been a fan of Bonnie Raitt 4 more than 30 years, & I feel that Adele did a wonderful job on this cover of "I can't make you love me"

[@nr72514]

Slow down! That’s what made the song! Bonnie took her time! You’re still an incredible artist!!

[@penknight8532]

Bonnie was literally crying when she was singing it and nobody can play the piano like Hornsby. This version sucks.

[@NicholeCarterMusic]

As a Songwriter this song continues to amaze me in every single way.....A perfectly perfect song

[@candiceschmitt6080]

You are the BEST singer in the WORLD

[@TheToyReviewer1984]

Best female vocalist of this generation! Simply beautiful!

[@earl77]

No disrespect to Bonnie Raitt but I find Adele's version of this song is by far the best. There is so much emotion and sadness in her voice, it's just perfect, beautiful yet heartbreaking. So glad she included this one on the Royal Albert Hall dvd. Hope it will turn up on a greatest hits album someday.

[@penknight8532]

Crazy Talk.

[@alfaubert4580]

Some songs should never been touched.... this is one of them. Bonnie's recording is magic. This is not anywhere close....

[@michaelmurphy9644]

Agreed. I love Adele but everyone should just stop trying. No one can top Bonnie's classic.

[@veronicabailey9853]

I agree Al faubert. . .Bonnie made this song magical. She sung it as if she was feeling that very pain of someone not returning a love she had for them. She sings it with so much heart.

[@OakCliffTX82]

You're right. This is horrible. But I've heard a few amazing covers. Ryan Shaw is my favorite. I feel same way about Landslide. Stevie Nicks is the only one who should ever sing that song

[@MrsClauslovesyou]

I totally agree!

[@penknight8532]

AGREED!

[@kianahairston749]

I just love her voice. She is an amazing singer.

[@roxannemiller6961]

I love the original. I love this version. I think people who have chosen to sing this song can relate and thats why it comes out so beautifully.

[@khaijohannes5308]

EVERY single time, every version.... I can feel the heart break in it. The first time i learned to play and sing it i started crying by the second verse. Amazing song.

[@pressureflipin1992]

Mimi Carey actually your comment explains your taste in music because I'm not saying you have to worship Adele but to think she's not one of the best female singers ever is insane. I mean who do you think is better ??

[@michellehiemstra3041]

She moves through the song too fast. Bonnie's timing is more reverent to the event of knowing that the love you give will never be returned.

[@johnmaroeldumalnog6148]

Whatever song she's to sing, will be sounding perfect. Srsly!

[@ZeudiAraya1]

What a beautiful spirit Adele has and Thank you for doing this song. As always you will run into haters, keep doing you. Beautiful inside and out, love you much Adele...continued success.

Turn down the lights Turn down the bed Turn down these voices Inside my head Lay down with me Tell me no lies Just hold me closely Don't patronize Don't patronize me Cause I can't make you love me if you don't You can't make your heart feel Somethin' that it won't And here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart And I will feel the power but you won't No you won't 'Cause I can't make you love me When you don't When you don't Yeah-hh I'll close my eyes 'Cause then I won't see The love you don't feel When you're home with me Morning will come And I'll do what's right Just give me till then To give up this fight And I will give up this fight 'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't You can't make your heart feel Somethin' that it won't And here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart I will feel the power but you won't No you won't 'Cause I can't make you love me When you don't When you don't

[@kings17court]

I'm not a lyrics person. Usually I don't even know what a song is about. I get lost in the vocal, the groove, the rhythm, etc. This is one of the few songs that the lyrics captivated me and pulled me in. As Adele says, "mind-blowing." I still remember exactly where I was when these lyrics impacted me. They are incredibly and dramatically sad. So sad that you can't overlook them. Aside from the lyrics, this is just an incredible song.

[@Luis-cb8et]

Adele is a great singer , songwriter... PERIOD!!👍♥️

[@ximenacarranco5206]

Me encanta esta canción, realmente refleja los sentimientos de varias personas

A wonderful rendition of a beautiful song by Riatt. Adele made it hers. Raitts version is still my favorite.

[@CVM222VOLT]

+Deb Jones Much agreed. I also like how Adele give credit and such kind words in her regards. Surprised how many other artists perform the song and state it is their cover of a song by Adele or George Micheals not realizing who brought this song to life and set the bar at how it should be sung.

[@lisaryherd4685]

Deb Jones Mine too!!

[@sonialuna1399]

I've been in love with the same person for 6 years, with distance, with time and other obstacles in between even when we both try to move on we always came back to each other didn't matter if it had been months or years we always picked up right where we were left at, all that truly and definitely came to an ending yesterday. "I am not the one" I repeat to myself over and over because because that's the reality of loving someone who doesn't love you anymore. life will continue & one day if God allows I will find my own happiness but for now i am shattered. im writting here hoping to hear stories of those who have suffered a heartache and were able to move on, It's the hope that will help me during this time.

[@rlennon4466]

She is simply paying homage to an artist she loves and respects. She did a great job. Whats the problem?

[@penknight8532]

The problem is she can't sing this song.
