Imagine if Adele, the real Adele, walked into a competition looking for the best Adele impersonator. Sounds crazy, right? You’d think she’d win easily, but to pull it off, she needed to go undercover—especially since she’d be surrounded by some of her biggest fans!
With the help of TV host Graham Norton, Adele completely changed her look. Her chin was reshaped, her nose was altered, and her lips were made thinner. She even gave herself a new name—Jenny. Disguised and ready, she joined the competition alongside other Adele lookalikes.
At first, the other contestants had no idea. But as soon as she started singing, jaws dropped. Some were shocked, some were thrilled, and others just couldn’t believe their ears. “Wait a minute… that sounds just like her!” one of them gasped. And they were right—Jenny wasn’t just any Adele impersonator. She was the Adele.
Adele’s Unforgettable Live Performance
If you’ve never seen Adele perform live, you’re missing out. She’s known for her heartfelt songwriting, her funny and down-to-earth personality, and, of course, her incredible voice that gives people chills.
On November 14, 2021, Adele performed in a special event aired on CBS and Paramount+. She sang songs from her new album—songs that, at the time, no one had heard before. The audience was in for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Every note was perfect, proving once again why she’s one of the greatest singers of our time.
During the event, Oprah Winfrey was in the audience, soaking in the music along with the rest of the star-studded crowd. The performance wasn’t just about the music, though—the whole setting was stunning.
A Breathtaking Location
The event took place at Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, sitting high on the slopes of Mount Hollywood. With a backdrop of twinkling city lights, it was the perfect place for such an unforgettable show.
But the magic didn’t stop there…
A Surprise Proposal Under the Stars
As if the night wasn’t already incredible, Adele dimmed the lights for a heartwarming moment. A man named Fenton led his girlfriend, Ashley, onto the stage. She was wearing ear defenders and a blindfold, completely unaware of what was about to happen. When she took off the blindfold, she saw Fenton down on one knee.
“Will you marry me?” he asked, his voice full of emotion.
Ashley was speechless. Then, through tears of joy, she nodded and said, “Yes!”
The audience erupted into cheers, and Adele, ever the romantic, dedicated her next song to the newly engaged couple. The internet quickly fell in love with the moment, calling it “the best proposal ever.” Tough act to follow, right?
A Night to Remember
Adele didn’t stop there. She performed some of her biggest hits from her previous albums—19 (2008), 21 (2011), and 25 (2015). Millions of people tuned in to watch, making the show a massive success. In fact, it pulled in 10.3 million viewers, making it the most-watched TV special since the Oscars in April 2021.
And let’s not forget the VIPs in the audience. The star-studded guest list included James Corden, Leonardo DiCaprio, Lizzo, Drake, Selena Gomez, Tyler Perry, Donald Glover, Melissa McCarthy, and many more. Talk about an A-list event!
If you missed it, don’t worry—the performance is available for streaming on CBS. So grab some popcorn, turn up the volume, and get ready to be blown away by Adele’s breathtaking voice!
