NCgaga 4,319 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 This is Adele. Her voice is still the same as it was when she first came out. She has no doubt the most velvety and textured voice in the industry. No one can vocally match the color of her voice. She is leagues ahead of everyone. HOWEVER, she is a raw talent. A striped down talent. Her music is much more stripped than what you would expect from let's say Beyoncé, Ariana, Jessie j etc. In every song, the focus is on her voice. With singers like Amy and Adele, it is much easier to hear the pitchy notes live. The music in their songs are and have always been arranged to focus on their voice. So the recordings will be perfect, by the performances you will be able to hear every pitchy moment. It happens and will always happen to that tho of singer. The problem with Adele is that she is about to become the top selling musician probably from this century. She is going to face the scrutiny that comes with that. I feel bad for her in a way, but I am so glad that such a naturally gifted person is and will dominate the music industry for the next year or so.

KaanBTW 5,244 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I felt like she was super nervous and I get that. She'll be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But guys, we know she has the pipes, it's not like she's always like this. She just had an off night with nerves most probably. It's all good! Besides she will slay the BBC special she's doing. 9 minutes ago, superman said: This was the first time she was live on tv I think. She did sing it before though at the taping of the BBC special that will air next week I think. We got a preview from BBC of that one and she killed it. but the BBC preview also sounded off and even more imo Probably because these are the first times she's performing the song, still has to get comfortable with it. But for the Adele standard, I expected better live vocals. What if she now sounds different because of having lost weight? :o Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if she now sounds different because of having lost weight? :o I don't think weight has anything to do with it She did undergo surgery for her voice and then she stopped smoking ( which usually makes the voice deeper) and drinking. Even if she doesn't sound the same from now on she does sound incredible live in my opinion. She sounds a lot more technical now than in the past two eras. She looks a bit more confident on stage though. I mean her hand gestures and face expressions give me life during this performance! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow 1,582 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Mess at ppl here making it sounds like she was completely off key and pitchy and god awful. "Off key the whole chorus...awful" blaah blaah...No she was not. She had some shaky moments here and there but nothing ALL too serious. And miles ahead of many favs. Shes hates live performing and gets really nervous. Plus her music shows every tiny little thing, unlike IF she had loud band or tracks behind her voice. It wasgreat even with its tiny imperfections. certainly not as bad as many make it sound. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Lady Gaga did worse performances... Adele did great and her vocals were still very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree. It was actually one of the worse performances I've probably seen from her but this is still Adele we're talking about so she still always sounds bloody great. I think as you said it was mainly nerves on her part - she's said many times in the past how much she suffers with nerves and this was probably one of the scariest moments of her career so far! I'm sure the more she sings the song live, the more she'll get used to it and be able to quell the nerves to give a stronger performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagaMyBlood95 9,915 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 She was a bit nervous, but still her voice is so impressive. Like seriously, this is a totally stripped down version, there is literally NO BACKTRACK to "help her" it's just her voice. Usually, when you look at a live pop performance, you have it either with a heavily loud track to follow it, or a little down but just to fill in the blanks. I applaud her for singing like this, and I am sure she will do even better after a few performances. She was out of the music scene for 3 years after all..

The last chorus sounded much better than the first. She's only been back for like 2 weeks, we have to let her breathe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Down 2,807 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I adore Adele so much and I don't mean to be negative.. But am I the only one who found this live just mediocre? Idk her voice sounded weak in comparison to the studio version of it. Ofc you'll say that nobody sounds better live than in studio but Gaga does and so does Beyonce.. However, I still love you Queen Adele Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
display name 4,360 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I didn't think that she sounded bad. I felt that the live instrumentation was weaker than the instrumental of the song though, and that definitely affected how I perceived the performance. Not perfect, but it was good.

Dangerous Man 9,245 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 As much as I love the song, I would say it was an okay performance. The chorus are kind of off. Hopefully her SNL performance will be a lot better. "A little less conversation and a little more touch my body." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
