Earlier this week, Billboard Magazine released a video of Adele singing 'Chasing Pavements' early on in her career. The performance was recorded on June 16, 2008. It shows a ragamuffin-esque Adele, as a natural curly haired brunette without make-up. She's not even recognizable until her voice starts to fill the room.
She has come a long way in three short years. Even in regards to her abilities, you can see noticeable improvement. If you have been paying attention to my site in recent months, it's no secret that I am head over heels in love with Adele. And, it looks like I'm not the only one. So far in 2011, she has the top two selling albums of the year, with '21', and her debut effort, '19'. She also has the number one single of the year with 'Someone Like You'. It's refreshing to see someone from humble beginnings and legitimate talent atop the music charts. If this video proves anything, it's that Adele is the real deal.

F and I were cruising videos on YouTube today and I watched "Rolling in the Deep" (again). It has over 97 million views. That is un-fucking-believable. For a frame of reference, I also watched Train's "Drops of Jupiter," and it had 15 million views after how many years?
If you haven't had a chance yet, I would highly recommend the "living room" version of 'Someone Like You'. Such a heartbreaking song. And to hear her sing it live so well, that you're wondering to yourself if she's actually singing, or if she is lip-syncing to a pre-recorded track.
