If you consider yourself a music fan you should pay attention. For those unfamiliar, let me present Adele. Adele gives me hope that great music is still being made. Watch this woman perform and you’ll immediately understand what I’m talking about. Adele’s voice makes you want to cry, gives you goosebumps, and produces the feeling that the whole world is hanging on her next note, all within the confines of a single song. She has one of the most powerful and moving voices I have ever heard, and this performance only validates her virtuosity. It is a testament to what music should sound like. This is not sung in a recording studio, mind you, this is performed on a TV sound stage in a warehouse, and the woman sounds absolutely brilliant.

Adele is not Lady Gaga in a meat dress, nor any other media frenzy entrepreneur, she is raw talent personified. There is no gimmick here. There doesn’t have to be, she is just that good. Adele only misses one note in the entire performance (2:12), just enough to remind us that she is, in fact, human. The most frightening thing about her is that she is only 22 years old.
