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!
periurban could have used some pitch correction here and there. Flat and off key in spots as well as nasally. Painful at times. I was surprised because she's usually great.
Love that she's still got her coat and gloves on and her bag on her shoulder. Like "yeah hold on let me just sing a few songs for these people for a minute then we'll go to the bar"
the way she kept saying thank you thank you very much. shes so grateful and her gratitude is extremely warming and sweet. shes so amazing and i wonder if she knows how amazing she is
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... 😶🙊
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.
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?
Many moons ago, my friend who had followed her heart to Ireland told me of this amazing singer over there and that I should have a listen. Of course 'Chasing Pavements' was the song to hear and I fell in love. Then after returning back home to Toronto, my friend surprised me one night with tickets to go see Adele at Massey Hall (40$ a ticket too). On stage appeared the shy Adele adorned in a stripped t-shirt and leggings, and no shoes, just socks. She was humble as she gushed over our city (of course as they do) and just sat on the stool in the middle of the stage. It felt like I was sitting in her home listening to her belt out her ballads of moments in her life that had torn her apart and sewn her back together again. It truly was a magical night that I will never forget.
I’m from Toronto(ish) too and I would have loved to see that show. The two best concerts of my life were at Massey Hall; Joe Jackson in ‘82 and Regina Spektor earlier this year
never said she was Irish, but my friend who was staying there said they were playing her song "Chasing Pavements" on the radio, and that I should have a listen.@@mr.monotonous6659
@@mr.monotonous6659 They said Adele was "over there" in Ireland where their friend followed their heart to go, and never said Adele was Irish or from there. Adele was in Ireland many times, but for sure specificcally on tour in 2008 when Chasing Pavements was 'the song to hear" because it was literally the song the show ended on. Nice "nice try though" try, though. Don't be insufferable. Nobody thinks you're cool; even you -- being a snotty person is the easiest laziest thing to do. Expect more from yourself. Nobody was being weird or antagonistic. It was someone sharing a nice story in a nice video of music. Since nobody's that fragile, next time you feel like saying something like that, don't, and move on.
A crappy little office, but with great microphones is in some ways the best of all possible venues, because even the best singers will do even better in an intimate setting than a big venue. You can underestimate the power of looking directly into people's eyes when emoting to them.
The office is in no way crappy nor is it small. It is also being recorded on some of the best mics around, And one or more people working live sound. which includes eq, compression, and delay/reverb, gates, etc. It is amazing what you can do with a computer and a great microphone plus amazing artist and engineers.
I'd be honored if some Adele fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal cover (live, no autotune) of PRAYING FOR TIME on my channel in tribute to the great GEORGE MICHAEL. The man hasn't gotten his due for all the contributions he made to modern music as a vocalist, songwriter and producer. But eventually he will get his due. THANK YOU GEORGE. WE MISS YOU.
NPR really does an amazing job at providing truly Raw showings of artists. After being introduced to the music scene, I’ve never felt music stronger than in small performances like these. Tiny Desk is the Perfect example of this. No big audio controller to change everything like a big stage show, no editing from recordings, just pure, unfiltered joy ringing from the musicians expressing their emotions. This platform has made me truly love my favorites on a whole new level, when I know it’s hard to get into small shows on big artists. Thank you, NPR, I’ve overlooked Adele for years and this video made me realize how good she actually is.
I could not agree more, THIS is what music is suppose to be 90% of the time, there is a time & place for full production stuff but 90% of the time these intimate performances are what allow people to "FEEL" the story
This! Yes, in the tiny desk version you can see Adele channeling through the emotions. Raw, real, gives me the chills, The radio version of the song is too loud, overproduced, busy. She belts out the song more like Streisand.
i don't know how to describe it her voice is out of this world. so emotional also very easy to listen and comfortable. what a singer what a voice she has
Omg the fact that she kills it in the beginning with her super strong amazing voice, and when the song ends she cutely says in a very soft different way "thank you." Such a queen.
she's really unbelievable. Her voice so powerful, it sound so smooth and clear, and with almost no stress at all. What a singer, just her voice and two instruments.
Watching this 9 years later and the description is incredible, “two new songs to go along with her hit” and chasing pavements was the song I had never heard
If there is, it's very subtle. And she is some distance away from the mic, which is different than holding the mic 2 cm from her lips, like most weak singers do. I'm no expert, but I think she's for real a few classes above any other pop stars.
I need to thank you, I'm sure you'll never read this but I need to tell you anyways, I found your music during the hardest time of my life I was helping my lifelong best friend who I met when we were seven through chemotherapy, when she passed away you are music got me through many unbearable days. Thank you from the bottom of my heart you'll never know how much you mean to me
Not ashamed to say that this made me cry. With all the weird and crazy crap that is going on in our world lately, it's so nice to listen to something genuinely beautiful. She has something very special. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Adele's tone, accent, intonation, feel reminds me of another great singer, Amy Winehouse, They both sound exceptionally great!!! I love this and all of the Tiny Desk's concert. Thank you very much, NPR. Love from the Philippines
This woman is one the finest songwriters and singers our United Kingdom has ever produced. She has light and shade, power and passion, and just superb vocal control, range and tone
For the audiophiles .. we understand the zoom because we are listening to every lisp, hiss and smack.. and watching this close up i can't believe that she actually sounds exactly like she looks like she should sound. absolute talent.
I listened to it thinking to myself, "Should I give up (on this deadend relationship) or should I just keep hoping for a lost cause?" . . Then I remembered that I am single AF and had been single for years. _5ft 1xx pounds Indonesian woman (like I'd announce my weight. Ha!)_

her singing voice is so deep and soulful... her normal voice is so British and endearing, I can't explain it

And that cackle-laugh, though! I love her 😝💜
Would just like to say her voice is basically a typical London accent, not British. None of my friends or family sound like her

No effects. No pitch correction. No multiple takes. No room ambience. Just that voice. It's enough.

There is a reason all the other pop singing "queens" are yet to be seen on one of these.

Samanta Figueroa Yes, but no effects are added.. thats plain recording. You wouldnt be listening to this if that mic wasnt there...

She made hitting notes perfectly appear effortless. Talent.
@jaredyjaredy Not limited talent, awareness. It's not appropriate to belt out high sections of her songs in an intimate room and stuffy acoustics.
Always.. Shes better live most of time. .. Still ❤
@Stephens Stephens You don't need to be a scientist to teach science.
@jaredyjaredy Talent is to know when to sing to your capability, not to hit the highest possible not.
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... 😶🙊
I love how she belts a song so well and then as soon as she finishes, *teeny voice* "thank you"

If there is, it's very subtle. And she is some distance away from the mic, which is different than holding the mic 2 cm from her lips, like most weak singers do. I'm no expert, but I think she's for real a few classes above any other pop stars.
Lo mismo pensé yo pero en mi idioma 🥰😂😂
I need to thank you, I'm sure you'll never read this but I need to tell you anyways, I found your music during the hardest time of my life I was helping my lifelong best friend who I met when we were seven through chemotherapy, when she passed away you are music got me through many unbearable days. Thank you from the bottom of my heart you'll never know how much you mean to me

I'm sorry for your loss, hope you are doing a little bit better.
@@clutchplays2549 what good is that now?
Right when she started singing I started tearing up. Her songs are so relatable and emotional
Not ashamed to say that this made me cry. With all the weird and crazy crap that is going on in our world lately, it's so nice to listen to something genuinely beautiful. She has something very special. Thanks for sharing it with us.
that gave me goose bumps
Catherine Zercher yep
me too
Adele's tone, accent, intonation, feel reminds me of another great singer, Amy Winehouse, They both sound exceptionally great!!! I love this and all of the Tiny Desk's concert. Thank you very much, NPR. Love from the Philippines
At this time Amy was still alive, I think that they should ask her to go there if they weren`t.

Today I learned what the back on Adele’s uvula looks like. I can knock that one off my bucket list. Thanks cameraman!
hahaa
I can’t even put into words how much I love her voice. Incredible. 🫶🏼❤️
She just showed up and casually blew everybody’s minds🤯
SO casual. No big deal, my voice just moves oceans.
This woman is one the finest songwriters and singers our United Kingdom has ever produced. She has light and shade, power and passion, and just superb vocal control, range and tone

robleake yes
Indeed.
Camerman was reading through the instruction manual while recording this. I think he nailed the chapter on Zooming! Good job
And needs to be fired 🤦🏽♀️
Amazing voice. She's the best ... today and ever.
The guy on the keyboard is amazing especially in the last song. The guitar man too was really good.
ame7272 yeah Adele is alright but DAMN
For the audiophiles .. we understand the zoom because we are listening to every lisp, hiss and smack.. and watching this close up i can't believe that she actually sounds exactly like she looks like she should sound. absolute talent.
Whenever she sings 'Pavements' live, it moves me to tears.

Love this. We're all different.. But amazing talent & beautiful music is universal. 💙👏👊✌
I listened to it thinking to myself, "Should I give up (on this deadend relationship) or should I just keep hoping for a lost cause?"

Then I remembered that I am single AF and had been single for years.
