8:07 her agility is so underrated

[@mesmereized]

Supported range Eb3 ~ B4/C5 ~ E5/F5 Proficient vocalist, considering she is a mezzo. All registers are well developed. She really doesn’t have any “weak” or “underdeveloped” registers. A soprano equivalent to her supported range would be F#3 ~ D5/Eb5 ~ G5/G#5 for perspective.

[@Kai-ht7yj]

Her Eb5’s are hit or miss and she usually does good especially in to be loved💙

[@adrielrichard9698]

Her head voice is actually really good and she has some underrated agility moments

[@rp8812]

Does anybody know why she doesn't use her head voice much and tends to belt everything?

[@varunravi27]

At her best, Adele would probably be able to support Eb3-C5. However, if we're looking at consistency, it's most probably E3-Bb4. I'm not sure about her head voice since it seems pretty underdeveloped, even if it sounds good, so I didn't add that in. Anyways, this is what I think about her separate registers (to add to what you have also said): Lows - Like you said, Adele's lower register is her best. It isn't the best compared to most mezzo-sopranos in the industry but I'd say it's good enough. She is consistent down to E3, with the occasional supported Eb3. However, I don't think she can properly support any of her low notes below that unless she's having a really good day (vocally). Adele, being a mezzo-soprano, has warm, dark and rich/full low notes. If she was able to support her low notes a bit better, she'd probably have one of the best lower registers in the industry. She has a LOT of potential in this area. With regards to the notes in this video, both of the B2s were extremely breathy so I'm not a big fan of them. The C#3s and D3s, on the other hand, sound pretty good despite being unsupported. I'd say the C#3s from 2015 are better and the D3s from 2022 are better. Except for the first Eb3, all of the notes Eb3 and above sound pretty well-supported. Belts - While most may think Adele's head voice is her most underrated register, I actually feel that this is her most underrated register. Most vocal enthusiasts do not particularly appreciate Adele's technique in this part of her voice because of how much she can push when she belts sometimes. To an extent, I agree that her belting technique could be a bit better but I'd say it's pretty solid for a mezzo. She is consistent up to Bb4/B4 and can occasionally support C5, sometimes even C#5, which is good enough for a mezzo-soprano. Additionally, her vibrato, resonance and intonation in this area have all improved greatly in the span of her career. With reference to the belts in this video, everything below B4 sounds well-supported. The B4s sound a bit tense/unsupported but are not bad. The C5s are pretty tense because she is going out of her comfort zone, with the exception of the C5s in To Be Loved, which sound great, if you ask me. I like how she mixed those notes instead of belting them like she normally would so that they sound healthier and more pleasant to listen to. The C#5s definitely have some tension in them but it's not significant. I think the tension truly shows starting from D5. But OMG those Eb5s in To Be Loved sound so effortless! They are definitely unsupported but probably the best Eb5s of her career. With all of this being said, she has 100% been mixing more nowadays, rather than full on belting because she knows that it's better for her voice and she can still have that large output and powerful middle notes while singing healthily. Head voice - I do not think this part of her voice is underrated. I actually think it's slightly underdeveloped. It obviously sounds AMAZING but, at least from what I'm hearing, it's not as great as people think it is. She has incredible control up to E5/F5 but, even though she has some good moments above that (like the G#5 in Hello), she can lose control. A lot of the G5s in this video, for instance, are on pitch but are quite thin and lack resonance and vibrato. Vocal Agility - This is probably the second best part of her voice, tied with belting. It's not outstanding but, for a low, dark mezzo-soprano, she does pretty well in this area. She is able to execute simple riffs/runs and even slightly complex ones, with ease. And I think the legato passages she sings (like in Easy On Me) are pretty amazing. Breath control - It's not extraordinary but Adele can hold her own when it comes to this aspect. I think I've only rarely heard of her running out of breath, if ever. However, I don't think she can sing for more than 10 (max 11-12 seconds) without taking a breath after. In all, I think Adele is an underrated vocalist. Even though she is not the best there is in any of these areas, she is a pretty well-rounded vocalist because, for her voice type, she has good low notes, good belts, a pretty agile voice, decent breath control and a decent head voice (although I do think her head voice could be better since most mezzos in pop music surpass her in this area). And her emotive/storytelling ability is easily one of the best there is in music today. I just LOVE the soulfulness in her voice.

Considering Adele’s longest note - she held a relatively impressive 14 second belt in « Need Your Love So Bad »

[@mesmereized]

Her head voice is supported up to E5/F5 and she’s consistent with B4/C5 and Eb3

[@varunravi27]

@@mesmereized You are right about her belts and head voice but she is definitely not consistent down to Eb3. There are some good Eb3s but most of them are not full enough for a mezzo-soprano like her because they lack proper support.

[@varunravi27]

@@fp.tantamanelista5033 What proof do you have that she is a dramatic mezzo-soprano? You are just claiming things to look smart.

[@varunravi27]

@@fp.tantamanelista5033 The fact that you are simply stating these things shows that you don't actually know much about her voice. Her timbre is actually different from what you think it is. She has a dark timbre but you can still hear plenty of warmth in it. Dramatic mezzo-sopranos have no warmth in their voices; their voices are just dark and "cold", if you will. And range does not define one's voice.

[@pedromurilo1050]

Supported range: (E3)F3-A4(B4). A mezzo for sure. Her Eb3 was sort of airy but the potential for support is there. Above A4 it's really inconsistent, but i saw some well placed C#5s. Again, there is potential. The head voice up to G5 didn't sound strained but yet disconnected, nothing that a vocal coach can't fix! Good singer, but not a vocalist tbh. Great video as always♥️ PS: i'm pretty sure she did hit a C3 in an old acoutic perfomance.

[@mesmereized]

4:31 how are her Bb4’s inconsistent? She fully supported 6 resonant Bb4’s back to back

[@mesmereized]

And that’s just in one short compilation video lol. A lot of her best moments were not included here tbh. She has a ton of great C5’s.

[@dolphinriah6590]

she has so much potential without proper training imagine if she actually got a vocal coach

She has much better belts than those you showed in my opinion, like the C5 in One And Only

Do you agree that in the age of 25 her voice sounded much better than it does now? Especially at the beginning of the age of 25.

[@pedrowerthjeong1470]

Absolutely not

[@deepinso2]

@@pedrowerthjeong1470 Clear your ears and listen to the Alele concert: Live in New York City. Now her voice sounds without vibrato on high notes, flat. She sounds very tired. She cant hit that note in "When we were young". Bad note in "Set fire to the rain"

[@ImaginaryAnxiety]

@@deepinso2 i feel like it's because she constantly has been doing shows since late 2022, if you compare how her voice was in 2015 and 2021, you'll hear how different she sounded (especially when she sings the Hello chorus) but I do agree she sounds really tired in her Munich shows recently, but that's probably because she's been doing shows every friday and saturday since late 2022 (the longest break she took is around 2 months)

[@deepinso2]

@@ImaginaryAnxiety yeah, 2015 was her prime!

[@jacopo_44]

​@@deepinso2 You cant compare 2015 with 2024. In 2015 she had just come back from a long pause and had a well rested voice. In 2024 her voice is very tired since shes been singing for almost 3 years.

[@AJBTemplar]

She is an interesting singer, but to me is almost always a bit shouty and strained in the upper register, though she hits that E flat 5 very well in When We Were Young

@@mesmereized but i think her lower supported range has changed bc listen to 2:37. that F3 wasn't near supported...

[@mesmereized]

@@vocal.genius why did I know someone would comment this lol. One stylistically lowered larynx F3 doesn’t negate the very obvious support she carries down to Eb3.

[@vocal.genius]

@@mesmereized i get ur point and you're right, but calling that stylistic isn't right. she obviously struggled a little bit to get down there and used a lower larynx to help her...

[@mesmereized]

@@vocal.genius I don’t think so. She clearly wanted to make it a dramatic “wow” moment since it was the end of the song.
