Awesome Adele

The Adele track Set Fire to the Rain is an awesome song all on its own. But we bet you’ve never heard it like this. Musician YAD Oud takes popular tracks and gives them a Middle Eastern flair with unique arrangements and the lead parts performed on the oud – a fretless string instrument that dates back to 3000 BCE.

If there’s one thing you can count on when it comes to James Bond movies, it’s the epic theme music. Musician Seb Skelly, vocalist Emma Skelly, and a number of their friends put together this great cover of Adele’s Skyfall, but with every other James Bond theme cleverly woven into arrangement. Can you spot them all?

Puddles Pity Party masterfully performs a smoosh-up of Electric Light Orchestra’s classic Telephone Line and Adele’s hit Hello, applying his smooth and buttery voice to two tracks about reaching out and touching someone.

Remix masters Entyme vs. Party Ben perfectly melded Green Day’s Boulevard of Broken Dreams with Adele’s Hello, then tossed in a bit of Oasis and Aerosmith for good measure. Download this mashup and others here.

James Corden’s popular bit may have well reached its peak with its latest episode. Watch him and Adele sing her hits and slay Nicki Minaj’s Monster verse while riding around England. The casualness with which she wields her power makes her all the more incredible.

Musician and vocal impressionist Anthony Vincent of Ten Second Songs fame turns in an unexpected cover version of Adele’s hit track Hello in the style of Green Day. At least it starts out as a Green Day track. By the end, it takes on a life of its own.

Video editor Matthijs Vlot searched high and low for the necessary clips needed to replicate the lyrics of Adele’s megahit Hello using only dialogue spoken by characters from movies. See if you can name all the flicks.

Jimmy Fallon and The Roots are joined by reigning queen of the universe Adele as she performs Hello, accompanied by the cheap instruments you’d find in a grade school music class. Honestly, she could sing anywhere, backed by anything, and we’d be blown away.

“It’s not her, honestly!” Adele and the BBC played a prank on a handful of her impersonators. They changed her face using a fake chin, a fake nose and some makeup, but she made no effort to disguise her voice.

A banshee with Internet access trolled Adele fans with a linkbait video, claiming that this is what Hello sounds like without Auto-Tune. Of course it isn’t true, but that doesn’t make it any less funny. Turn the volume down.

Adele’s new single Hello shares more than its title with Lionel Richie’s 1983 classic – both songs’ music videos have the singers talking on the phone. BlendTV mashed up the two into one short clip. Lionel himself made a similar joke on Instagram.

Here’s the theme song for the new James Bond flick, Skyfall, voiced by the sultry Adele. We can already picture the opening credits with silhouettes of smokin’ hot girls and guns.
