“Pranks will make you laugh. Except when Adele does them. When Adele does something, you cry,” is what a top commenter had to say after watching this hilarious yet poignant prank Adele pulled on her mega fans. The English superstar decided to enter an Adele impersonator contest under the name Jenny, with the help of a fake chin and nose. She played it off perfectly by seeming to be nervous and bumbling at first, but then she opened her mouth to sing “Make You Feel My Love.”
That gorgeous voice was unmistakable, and it was side-splitting seeing her mega fans’ reaction to the moment. There’s no doubt who was the biggest Adele super fan in the whole group of impersonators, as one lady picked that it was the real Adele before she even finished singing the first line! The Music Man can only imagine how special it would feel to get a personal performance from Adele with just a dozen audience members watching in a small theater.
The BBC organized Adele’s prank performance, and with 88 million views, it became the fifth most-watched video on the BBC YouTube channel. Viewers loved to watch the cheeky setup and added comments such as “The girl who INSTANTLY knew it was the real deal. Very impressive” and “Every time I come back to watch this video I cry.”
In another touching moment at an Adele concert, the English star came across Céline Dion in the audience watching her Las Vegas performance. Adele was moving through the crowd interacting with fans, and then she walked in front of Céline. Adele instantly teared up and hugged the Canadian star. It was such a sweet and emotional moment. Adele had to ask the crowd to sing for her for a while as she regained her composure, which took quite some time.
Watching the Adele impersonators’ reaction to her performance of “Make You Feel My Love” was really something. One girl was crying, others smiled and laughed, while another just sat in absolute shock. The Music Man has to say when the Adele impersonators began singing along with her, it created such a feel-good moment. We also have to give it up for Adele’s acting and comedy chops. She really makes this prank side-splitting with her act as a bumbling novice at the start. Seeing her transformation into a diva when she starts singing “Make You Feel My Love” is really something.
