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!

*Adele's voice was sounding as stunning as ever in this intimate Tiny Desk concert! She may be a global superstar but this performance stripped it back to just the raw, breathtaking vocals and songwriting she's adored for. You could feel the meaning and emotion behind every lyric she belted flawlessly. And her personality sparkled between songs! Iconic vocals aside, it's Adele's honesty and vulnerability as an artist that makes her music so special. This Tiny Desk showcased that beautifully. What an honor to see one of the greatest vocalists of our time in such a cozy setting. Adele blew me away once again with the sheer power, control and tone of her voice. Every note gave me chills! I'll never get tired of listening to her sing from the heart. This is what true talent looks like. I'm so grateful to NPR for this magical Tiny Desk moment from Queen Adele! 👑*

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.

Her voice is MAGICAL. Makes you feel all the feelings, good or sad.

[@Sritski]

I've watched tons of npr tiny desk concerts but this one is easily one of the best

[@marshallwillis371]

She made hitting notes perfectly appear effortless. Talent.

[@Codrox321]

@jaredyjaredy Not limited talent, awareness. It's not appropriate to belt out high sections of her songs in an intimate room and stuffy acoustics.

[@amberparker9883]

Always.. Shes better live most of time. .. Still ❤

[@SomeOne-iq5zy]

@Stephens Stephens You don't need to be a scientist to teach science.

[@lassepleb3258]

@jaredyjaredy Talent is to know when to sing to your capability, not to hit the highest possible not.

[@again7pyms]

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... 😶🙊

[@MF-eh9sk]

The camera zoom related comments are hilarious, I’m in tears 😂😂 Also, Adele is amazing I’m in tears 😭😭

[@patriciaegan7244]

Adele sounds exactly like she does in her radio songs. Perfect pitch.

[@honeymanualidades]

Quiero a Adele nuevamente en Tiny Desk 🥹Por favor 🙏🏻

[@patrickhallett6220]

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.

[@direfranchement]

She doesn't speak that softly, and there is nothing timid about her speech.

[@winterdreller5840]

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?

[@Dion_Mustard]

she hardly speaks timidly..she's always F'ing on stage and raising her voice, but I love her regardless. Her voice is unique.

[@darinz7182]

This is npr - she curses more than Trump lies.

[@korokshiding]

@@direfranchement Haha...you took the words right out my brain. She's rough as sh!t, but that's why we love her!

[@lung325]

You can’t manufacture this sort of voice. No amount of engineering can create this. Adele literally sounds like a record, like only a select echelon of artists before her.

[@sinus701m]

I love Adele but there are a lot of amazing voices out there. Her music is amazing because she feels everything she sings. She's a well rounded musician with great writing skills backed with her emotions, but there were, and still are a lot of talented singers like her.

[@Thiago-px9ev]

@@sinus701m Half-agree with you. Yes, there are many better singers than her, technically speaking. But her tone, her colour, the character of her voice is something really hard to find, combining with great writing skills and some instruments she plays makes the whole package so special. Unfortunately her "25" album wasnt as good as "21", and I have my doubts about the next one.

NICE VOICE BUT WE GO TOO FAR WITH THE COMMENTS

She is barely opening her mouth and yet her voice is so powerful 😫.

What a talent! Pure talent. The vocal gymnastics is just out of this world.

Patiently waiting for her to come back..

[@cwatson42785]

You're very beautiful. Just wanted to let you know.

Adele truly has a most amazing voice. Love it!

[@choosesfr]

I always loved the version where she sings the chorus in a lower pitch instead of high.

[@abigaillennon3564]

I love how she belts a song so well and then as soon as she finishes, *teeny voice* "thank you"
