Monday you hear that voice piercing through the daylight like a car alarm gone crazy. It’s Adele, and man, you blew it.

The music video of this song, which Adele co-wrote with Paul Epworth, has almost a billion views on YouTube, but I prefer the excitement and fun of this live performance at the Royal Albert Hall. Click on the video to play, and prepare to get the gold foil out of your hair.
