[@stuporinane]

Every singer till now must have been thinking of themselves to be someone grand until Adele walked in….. period! We now know what voices we have been listening to, Adele has raised the bar so high for all the singers out there. Adele 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@LindaWhalen]

They are all so beautiful and talented. So fun. Glad there are people like this on the planet. Amazing

[@That1TallGirl14]

She has such a powerful voice 🔥

[@bloofan06]

Since I discovered this, I have been watching on repeat. I've always loved this song, but this is just amazing. I love the way Jimmy swings his head toward her as soon as she starts singing. I don't think he expected her to start singing for a few more beats. Makes me love Jimmy Fallon even more. With all due respect to Carson and Leno, Jimmy Fallon is the best Tonight Show host ever.

[@homelearningiburully1788]

When the pros perform nothing can hinder the greatness. love it !

[@user-js4sb4qq2h]

Tiny Desk has been topped. Ten musician minds in a small dressing room playing rudimentary instruments makes for a happier, healing, intimate victory from Adele's darker hours, and our own. It's good to make magic.

[@CrAzEDxKILLAx23]

Even with kazoos, Adele sounds beautiful. Bravo 👏🏽

+Angel La Canfora Her voice is just amazing.... I thought that part was blatantly obvious.

[@angellacanfora]

+maddog22002 Point is, when it's a female performer, the comments always center on her looks rather than her talents. It's depressing, as a female musician, but it's just the way it is.

I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be When we were younger and free I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet There's such a difference between us And a million miles Hello from the other side I must've called a thousand times To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done But when I call, you never seem to be home Hello from the outside At least I can say that I've tried To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore Hello, how are you? It's so typical of me to talk about myself, I'm sorry I hope that you're well Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened? It's no secret that the both of us Are running out of time So hello from the other side (other side) I must've called a thousand times (thousand times) To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done But when I call, you never seem to be home Hello from the outside (outside) At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried) To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore Ooh (lows, lows, lows, lows), anymore (Highs, highs, highs, highs) Ooh (lows, lows, lows, lows), anymore (Highs, highs, highs, highs) Ooh (lows, lows, lows, lows), anymore (Highs, highs, highs, highs) Anymore (lows, lows, lows, lows) Hello from the other side (other side) I must've called a thousand times (thousand times) To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done But when I call, you never seem to be home Hello from the outside (outside) At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried) To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Greg Kurstin / Adele Adkins Hello lyrics © Emi April Music Inc., Kurstin Music, Melted Stone Publishing Ltd.
