Was watching and listening to the Adele Live At The Royal Albert Hall DVD the other day. Lovely stuff. I hope success and the machine attendant upon it don't ruin this girl too quickly. At the time of recording she was vibrantly alive and herself.
The tribute to Amy Winehouse, Dylan's Make You Feel My Love, complete with kitschy mirrorball and an invitation for the audience to switch on handphone lights to illuminate the hall, was absurdly, touchingly, moving.
There's a point in some singer's careers at which just everything comes together perfectly - songs, audience, the whole zeitgeist, and I reckon this was this young lady's. The funny thing is, her comments towards the end of the concert about how she'll remember all this one day in the future, suggest that Ms Adkins has the uncanny good sense to know all this.
