[EzioLemmos]

Mtt chiqueee , Adele sua divaa ♥

[ukstevey]

flawless, incredible, best live performance ive seen.

[santu55ubito]

Every ten years, what do you think?

[Buzzinyow]

Wow and she is not even 20 years old yet!

Talent baby sheer talent as a writer performer and singer!

WOW!!!!

[deepatthecentre]

I just can't stop watching this. Adele is in the league of Ella and Aretha. She makes most pop "stars" look like cardboard cutouts of the real thing . Thank you for sharing your gift, Adele.

[scabrera22]

oh man! so much emotion at 3:34 that you can tell by the smirk on her pianists face, that even he was nicely surprised. Cant stop replaying this performance!

[ronsiris]

hauntingly beautiful

[munk237]

i was there

[scabrera22]

It is truly a privilege to be able to listen to such an amazing person. I can listen to Adele all day!

[kingodaskins]

Thumbs up for Ray Charles re-incarnated at :30

[th1nkp1nk91]

that was beautiful

[deeway1963]

Just simply a most superb song all the way around, Hauntingly beautiful! What a gift that we all have in this most brilliantly young singer/song writer know as Adele. Speaks to the very soul of humanity. Love you Adele!

[januto]

Best voice ever, who is with me?

[deeway1963]

@januto I AM! DEFINITELY!

[florinbaiduc]

@januto Janis Joplis has it. Adele is not far though...

[alquiora]

@januto best voice ever? probably not but she has a perfect voice for R&B songs.

[hoodmatix]

This performance blows me away. Her voice is literally perfection. You don't get any better than this.

[cloiset]

It's suprising how much she has change since her first album :D

She has the same talent, the same awesome songwriting and vocals, but she has improve perfectly with her confidence, the way she dress and her make up, without looking like all those manufactured singers.... she really ha mature

She's in a higher league of her own ;)

[epicatum]

@Darkle2010 No its not a gift from god.. she has talent

[morruga25]

muy buena voz.. le falta un poco de oscuridad... una pizca de Amyy (RIP)

[staffheart1]

Autumn of the heart.

[dannychang80]

makes me think of newcastle in autumn

[TheAngelRed28]

I love this music. beautiful, beautiful!! I love this voice, i lov her!! kiss from brasil. =]

[LilBitt100]

her voice is so powerful. Like everytime she opens her mouth It's bursting out to be hear. I had chills and goosebumps this whole song. I could never get tired of her voice.

[PurplePunisher69]

@LilBitt100 I agree , and she has a kind of sad look about her that carries the voice too . Have you heard her speak in interviews , she is "proper" South London . Really funny as well .

[nicktoe]

she has best voice of all the top females right now

[deeway1963]

This Woman Is A God!

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

I love how artists have had to "try" to crack America but fail, even changing who they are to try to fit some sort of mold. Adele didn't have to try...

[NotSureWhatToPut]

@Darkle2010 She has a great voice, but it has nothing to do with 'god'

[rcoversYT]

my cover of rolling in the deep by adele: /watch?v=txafGfwRXws

check it out ! (:

[RolandsSmoked]

@Darkle2010

Gift prom evolution, man. Other whise :D god doesn't love you , gave you shit voice.

[bradpackblue]

haunting

[oliversenord]

@Darkle2010 A gift from Evolution ...

[getSOME1015]

@oliversenord LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOL

[butterflykisses6963]

I <3 her!

[tapandcut]

@Darkle2010

I hate Rush L. but DITTO !

[mabzy2009]

she looks sooo cute here.

[kdleriche]

Beautiful!

[toppaz79]

I've never actually rated adele.... but she NAILED it here. Made the hair on my neck stand up. I'm converted.

[Beaver795]

Tingles all over when I hear this, more so live!

[jackrothwell]

Why the hell are people saying this song is depressing? Are you not listening to the lyrics?

[JustReadable]

Nice camera view at the end. Marvin and her.

[Starturtle311090]

I love the hand thing she does. so fucking talented

[gjones500]

@Darkle2010 am from across the pond...but am sure america has got just as good as.. if not better than this..just that america is just swamped in rap..crap

[juliocesar24]

Such a fucking depressing song, I hate Adele's "I want to kill myself" repertua

[whb786]

@juliocesar24 I suggest you suck on the barrel of a 12 gauge then

[juliocesar24]

@whb786 an ultra depressing drogadict song made you write that, oh wait, it's an Adele´s song.

[whb786]

@juliocesar24 No, Actually a faggot with a stupid opinion made me write it

[juliocesar24]

@whb786 youtube always has a bitch defending what is wrong.

[whb786]

@juliocesar24 Youtube always has a cunt with water on the brain

[juliocesar24]

@whb786 youtube always has a defending stupid bitch that doesn't rest.

[whb786]

@juliocesar24 Oh you got me. I rest my sack on your mother's chin. That's about all the rest I get

[juliocesar24]

@whb786 Still bitching? seems like Adele's fake chin and the horse's cock that is in your ass is making you type.

[whb786]

@juliocesar24 What a shitty comeback. At least make sense with your put downs. I guess having Downs Syndrome adds to the problem.  Best of luck with that. Make sure to take your drool cup and helmet with you when you go out.

[juliocesar24]

@whb786 you want more? guess you want a fight you little troll, Jon Cryer would be proud you ass wipe.

[whb786]

@juliocesar24 Boooooooo. You stink. Boooooo. Hack. Booooooooooooo. Faggot. Booooooooooo

[juliocesar24]

@whb786 hahaha is that all you've got you ass licker piece of shit? hahaha

[whb786]

@juliocesar24 I got some more. Ask your mother to breath in your face. If she smells like bleach. I've left my mark.

[applemacbook28]

@juliocesar24 If you hate adele's "I wanna kill myself repertua" then why the fuck do you listen to her....If you dont like her thats fine but why would you listen to her if you hate her? Also, when does she ever say she wants to kill herself....she is just singing about pain...its how she gets things out.

[juliocesar24]

@applemacbook28 I first came into account that this fat young lady that always dresses in black exists because youtube put a video of her in the front page, I got curious, started to hear her songs and I suddenly realise her songs are stupid, no one gains anything with depressing sad shit. She just does this because she can't flash her body like other singers who actually encourage people to be happy, she makes this kind of songs to be taken seriously. And yes, fuck you.

[juliocesar24]

@applemacbook28 I don't listen to her, I only put one comment for you guys take some idea of what is happening and not take drugs or commit suicide because of her songs telling you that life is a piece of shit. I keep coming here because 4 or 5 of you including a few trolls are making replies to my comments. Don't be stupid, she doesn't tell you to kill yourself, she means it by singing sad stuff all the time.

[krispyle25]

Letterman is fumbling his words...haha...She is an absolute stunner!

[apedosmi1]

I love the way she sings "thick" and "opaque" with a little click at the end of each word.

[nerdychick83]

i love it that letterman was speechless...that never happens for him:)

[doreme2100]

Gift from god!

[TheFever77]

Makes proud to be from London UK.

[efcdk92]

@TheFever77 glad you put that UK at the end. Had no idea where london is

[TheFever77]

@efcdk92 Haha funny. Could be London Canada though to be fair :)

[efcdk92]

@TheFever77 shes not canadian tho :p

[TheFever77]

I think David was genuinely blown away by that, as we all were.

[stevelondon]

I think both Londoners and New Yorkers and relate to this song, especially that 3rd verse, in the light of events that have happened in both cities.

[ellielovesyouuu]

ugh! she's flawless

[noradosmith]

thiCK and opaQUE

[FameThreeTimes]

@noradosmith LOL!!! I love the way she pronounces that!!!

[Maino88]

I could think of no better tribute to the greatest city on earth than this song. Adele is spellbinding. A true daughter of London.

[composerdoh]

I didn't know Malcolm X could play the piano so well.

He found a fantastic singer to play with!

[boredtoshyte]

SImply makes you love music. Brilliant!!

[emmavbijnen]

SHE WROTE THIS WHEN SHE WAS 16! I wish i had talent like that...

[howitt666]

[irena2009]

oh man. I'm gutted by the fact that I'll have to turn off my computer soon and then I won't be able to have this on repeat any more. Adele, you are... there are no words. wow.

[girlee88]

This is the best performance for hometown glory she has every done. She was really giving it her all. I can tell

[arluerta]

the best live singer I've ever heard!!!

[reddragonready]

And once again the Grammies got it so wrong! Dazzled by super echo and a squad of dancers no doubt. Beyonce on Halo was better vocals than this???? I don't think so.

[Ramparts7]

Brilliant. BestRegards from Denmark

[lameexcuse17]

wow i am blown away. shes amazing. crazy on point and shes live. wow.

[metman18]

I believe I first heard her perfom this on Conan. I was ready to hit the ffw button, but then I heard her voice. It was hypnotizing.

[chrisjreed1]

This performance is witness to a future legend. Wow...my new beloved Adele.

[slowwgirl]

march 30 is on my birthday

[saif1987aljalal]

LOVE the fact that she could stand there for the whole song without dancing .. with no special effects and no fancy drees or make-up . she stood there and just SANG !! shows you what a true SINGER is all about .. Love U ADELE :**

[cabotgal1982]

She really does have one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard.

[lucybells0]

Isn't she spectacular? Anytime I've seen her on these late-night shows in the U.S., it's like you can hear a pin drop, the room just hushes. The hosts always walk up to her in a sort of awe--men who see musicians every night!

[graeme35]

Fantastic record!

Fantastic live!

[andersonmanu]

this and bon iver's "skinny love" on jools holland, my two favourite live performances.

[Nemoticon]

And to think she wrote this when she was just 16... I love this girl.

Wonderful performance of Hometown Glory, possibly better than the album recording!
