damn she made that look easy

[@cherochow]

kill me her voice is like rich warm chocolate mixed with age old whisky. WTF

[@HutTwoHike]

The only person allowed to cover Etta.

[@JessieSocial]

right!! sorry beyonce, and Christina... Adele can carry the notes stronger.

[@theodoresmith4163]

True

[@mirjamvond1731]

I would have loved to hear Amy sing this classic tho...

[@rushofblood994]

So lovely to hear Adele do something so jazzy. I hope she incorporates more jazz into future records.

[@larryjeremiah8250]

listen to 19 and 21 you can feel the blues and jazz vibes there esp in 19

[@daydreamer3162]

Listen to her new album "30" it's all jazzy, especially "Love is a game"

[@mirfangu]

she did

[@etaoin_shrdlu]

Not jazzy at all.

[@winterdreller5840]

Aged well

[@DekaHana38]

Etta James would be sooo proud!!

[@pikoszkyandras5312]

As I see Adele how she sings... I really see the young Barbra Streisand... really really rare treasure... its not just singing... its life!

[@magicmusic53]

She has Etta James’ style

[@jacquelinepaul9731]

Can you elaborate on that please..I think I know what you mean.

[@emilymacmusic]

Love Etta, love Adele! This is great!

[@comeonson11]

a master class in cool vocals adele please do just a jazz album

[@brujitacrafty]

WOW! Beautiful cover! I can't believe she was only 19 then.

[@purkabe12]

Don't really understand the comments saying she has no soul. Thought this was brilliant great cover!

[@samson.punzalan6565]

I really hope we hear more of a jazz influence on the next album

[@Lophotrochozoans]

It happened!! 30 delivered some jazzy tunes

[@kauanrodriguezalvesalves4128]

Thank you for posting this video. Her voice is amazing & she's the perfect artist to cover this Etta James classic.

[@ibra1000]

How can people say she's overated?

[@donnorman5741]

Very good vocal young lady...

[@jenlawjen]

Fool that I am indeed. Madly infatuated with Adele. Never has there been someone like her and never will. I hope I can book her one day to perform a show all for me!

ادل اسطوره❤

[@coolmusicCZ]

queen of voice :)

[@arsenalmanic]

Best female singer by a long way (for me). Although her voice was perfect back in the day before the throat surgery. Now is still very good, but nothing like that special voice from back in the day. As i said my fav female singer of the 21 century.

[@saurav_parmar]

100 percent agree

[@saurav_parmar]

that special voice from “19” and 21

[@ayush9791]

Her voice is better after throat surgery

[@barzoly]

Just beautiful 😊

[@goldenglovled]

you're gorgeous!!

[@robertrequena_]

Adele is fire gosh

[@NeishaNee12]

Lovely

[@macjoyful2010]

This is on her Soho in NYC 2008

[@ricog2343]

Literally no one can sing Etta, but apparently Adele. Heavenly

[@fleetwood7538]

Literally? Not figuratively? Metaphorically? Objectively? But literally? 😂

[@ricog2343]

@@fleetwood7538 I think you entertained yourself more than anyone but I was being literal. Only Adele does Etta Justice

[@thewomaninthemoon]

l agree 100%.She acts out her songs just like a young Streisand.

[@RpMRickyMunoz]

she was just 19? OMG

[@hikikomoriwitch]

Thanks for being...well Adele!!*u*

[@-C.S.R]

Adele is only one that I can think of that could do “AT LAST” justice!

[@mj9608]

BIG TIME! I'm going through a big band/swing phase atm, I heard Glenn Millers, at last. Which led me to Etta's version. and I instantly heard adele. I thought that's where she may have got some inspiration. Which led me here. I'd love to hear an adele cover of at last!

[@leachpook8228]

Lyrics Fool that I am for falling in love with you And fool that I am for thinking you loved me too You took my heart then played the part of little coquette And my dreams just disappeared like the smoke from a cigarette Fool that I am for hoping you'd understand And thinking you would listen to all of the thins The things I had planned But we couldn't see eye to eye So darling Darling Darling this is goodbye Oh I still care Ooh I still care Fool that I am

[@zsnfld]

purple becomes her :)

[@manguera9]

she had a talent as a singer, back in those days, waiting to be the star to be come.

[@petrichor3215]

perfect!

[@denismonalisa]

Her taaaawwwne is divine.

[@96blackflag]

respect for the real adele

[@fleetwood7538]

When HAS she been fake? 😒

[@Music4CatsNYC]

she should record (at least) album with covers/classics, both blues and jazz, esp ballads.

[@michaeljared1822]

Something about that rasp in her voice @ 2:06

[@chocolatevenus9072]

Best cover ever!!

[@jacquelinepaul9731]

Lets be honest..that wasnt great. Check out Mica Millar singing it...much better.

[@Bluesnow2964]

Not bad, but Etta did it better

[@rerubel7953]

+Yuki Cross The idea of doing a cover is that it's just that, a cover... an artists covers another artist out of appreciation of the artists talent.

[@Bluesnow2964]

+Re Rubel ... you have a knack for stating the obvious. I like Adelle. I was just stating my opinion that Etta's version is better.

[@theodoresmith4163]

+Yuki Cross And you have a knack for stating opinions as fact

[@Bluesnow2964]

+Theodore Smith I sure do. as does you and everyone else who comments.

[@theodoresmith4163]

not rly

[@rom661]

Sorry. She doesn't come close to Etta. Over does it, good chops, no soul. I'm not a fan so you're obviously entitled to your opinion.

[@vincentstreams]

No soul? What the even heck 😂 Even kids says that her voice is so dramatic and soulful. Go back to your mother's womb. Ugh

[@kauanrodriguezalvesalves4128]

without soul? then you're dead inside, Adele's just a dear feeling,

[@rickmilam413]

@@kauanrodriguezalvesalves4128 I can assure you I'm not dead inside, even six years after the comment you responded to. I don't care at all what you think and I don't care at all for her music. I bought her first two albums at the same time and played the LP's once. Want them? I don't. And soul in this case was a comparison to a great soul singer. It's a genre of music.

[@kauanrodriguezalvesalves4128]

@@rickmilam413 and do you think Adele cares if you're listening to her music or not? almost 50 million copies sold worldwide do you think your dirty money makes a difference? and yes Adele has soul and feeling, you are blind and dead inside, I'm sorry 💋

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

Horrible! Compared to others who do this great old song. Screechy, scratchy voice on some of the notes, NOT real music! This was 2008, I guess she received some awards this year (2016-17) but she must have learned how to sing.

[@richardbrinker9364]

She has received Grammys for all her albums, over 13 now.

[@dajuanmwill]

15 grammy awards later 🤔

[@JoanneBirks2]

It’s a vocal technique

[@thetobylouis]

It's called technique, i wonder how y'all manage to have opinions on something you know nothing about. Quite embarrassing if you ask me. 😅
