A bit off but that was a heavy song to try and sing at the Grammy's right there in the middle of everyone. It was a one long too.

Love her. Not everyone has to be a great performer. It can be just about the music (for me).
 
'I cried pretty much all day': Adele reveals Grammy Awards glitch left her in tears during appearance on The Ellen Show


Adele revealed that she was left in tears after sound issues marred her highly anticipated performance at the Grammy Awards.
'I cried pretty much all day yesterday,' the 27-year-old singer said during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show airing on Thursday.
Adele had the most popular album in the US last year but a technical glitch occurred during her performance of All I Ask during the awards ceremony broadcast by CBS.

The singer said it couldn't have been much worse than the Grammy's and that next time she'll be ready for a mishap
Adele's performance was just one of several glitches to occur during the Grammys; Justin Bieber also suffered difficulties, while Rihanna and Lauryn Hill dropped out at the last minute

The singer admitted that she's nervous 'more than ever' before performing as pressure mounts along with success.
'I don't feel like it could go that much worse than the Grammy's though. So I feel like I'm alright now. Anything that happens, dust it off!' Adele said.

The Hello singer said she'll be ready next time a mishap occurs during a live performance.
'Next time I have any sound issues I am gonna stop. I'll be like, sorry that's not working for me. If we have time to do it again, let’s do it. Otherwise, bye!' Adele said.

Adele's Grammys performance on Monday night was marred with technical difficulties, although the entire ceremony was filled with flaws for many of its star performers.
During the British star's long-awaited for performance of her song All I Ask, a microphone fell onto the strings of an accompanying piano.
Academy President Neil Portnow also said that the show switched to a backup sound system during Adele's song which caused the audio to drop for a few seconds at the beginning of her performance.
The technical glitch came on a night plagued with disappointment and drama - Rihanna cancelled her performance on doctor's orders just minutes before the show began, while Lauryn Hill bailed on a planned duet with The Weeknd earlier in the day.

The singer's powerful voice cut out shortly after she launched into singing her hit All I Ask at the event in Los Angeles

As fans raced to adjust the volume on their TV sets, Adele could be seen singing, but only the misplaced sound of what appeared to be a guitar was heard

Despite winning three Grammys even triumphant Taylor Swift was disappointed - shedding a tear after missing a note during her Out Of The Woods opening act.
The sound issues did not stop with Adele - with Bieber's set also beset with problems.
But it was Adele's disappointing performance that really riled viewers, many of whom had tuned in specifically to watch her much-trailed comeback
The singer's powerful voice cut out shortly after she launched into singing her hit All I Ask at the event in Los Angeles.

As fans raced to adjust the volume on their TV sets, Adele could be seen singing, but only the misplaced sound of what appeared to be a guitar was heard.
Even after Adele's voice resumed, the volume wavered, before it eventually stabilized after five to six seconds.
Adele took to Twitter to explain the disruption with a rare tweet, writing: 'The piano mics fell on to the piano strings, that's what the guitar sound was,' explained the star in a rare tweet after the show.
'It made it sound out of tune. S*** happens.'

Hitting back: Adele later took to Twitter to explain what had happened... and reveal she was also treating herself to an In-N-Out burger

Rather than wallowing, Adele then consoled herself with a burger - surely a rare treat for the newly slimline star.
'Because of it though... I'm treating myself to an in n out,' she wrote. 'So maybe it was worth it.'
During her set Adele could be seen briefly reacting to the sound issues, her eyes opening wide.
But, ever the professional, she kept singing - although fans detected that the usually pitch perfect star seemed slightly off her game.
Indeed it was only after she returned to the audience that Adele let her true feelings show - at which point the distraught looking star was seen animatedly discussing the errors with her partner Simon Konecki.

Ellen and Adele both opted for all-black outfits

As she did so her followers were taking to Twitter in their hundreds to rant about the mistake - with many wrongly blaming Justin Bieber's sound check for the strange guitar-like noise.
Singer Nichole Nordeman wrote: 'Adele's pitch is consistently & historically flawless. FLAWLESS. That was 100% an audio issue & she was fighting hard from go. Hush, ya'll.'
And Mia Farrow commented: 'I can't say a negative thing about Adele's performance she's a goddess it was the f:#£ng piano.'
Before her interview on Wednesday, Ellen performed All I Ask in front of Ellen's studio audience.
Ellen, 58, also asked Adele to record greetings for her voicemail and the singer gladly provided riffs on her hit song Hello.

Ellen and Adele took a selfie together

The English singer showed her funny side as she took part in a skit at the Jamba Juice on the Warner Bros. lot with Ellen remotely telling her what to say to store workers in an earpiece.
Adele chewed on wheatgrass that she cut herself with scissors and asked if she had to pay since she's a celebrity.
After her Grammys disaster, the singer said she consoled herself with a burger from local franchise In-N-Out and a beer.

too bad she feels pressure to be perfect
I thought the performance was good....there was a rawness to her singing that seemed emotional to me. Maybe not perfect but nothing to cry about
 
The Ellen episode is just on now in Australia. That song, 'When We Were Young" just kills me. And she nailed it.

Her laugh is one of those, where you smile just hearing it - it's full of life, raw and wonderful.
 
She sang the same song on Ellen and sound unreal

Just saw it - she left me speechless. Adele's voice is pure heaven.

She seems very down to earth unlike Beyonce, Taylor Swift, etc. Her talent is amazing and her personality is the icing on the cake. How could anyone even hate.

She seems as someone we'd all have fun getting drunk with. Love her so much.
