Review: Adele's Stellar Performance in 'Live In New York City' Special
Although phenomenal British songstress Adele won't be touring in the U.S. for her latest album "25," she, however, prepared a special treat for her U.S. fans as she performed her greatest hits in a one-hour NBC special.
TV Grapevine reports that Adele's concert, which was held last Nov. 17 at the Radio City Music Hall, is finally set to air on NBC this Dec. 14 at 10 p.m. ET. The concert special titled "Adele Live In New York City" is produced by the 27-year-old singer herself, Lorne Michaels and Jonathan Dickins. It's directed by Beth McCarthy-Miller.
The publication further revealed that NBC has dominantly shared Adele's latest performances and appearances on television, which are activities not usual for Adele since her last TV appearance before this year was in 2011.
But this year, Adele already committed to numerous shows on the network like "Saturday Night Live," "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" and "Today." Adele's recent special, which will be aired tonight, will feature the singer's hits from her "25" album including hits from her previous records "19" and "21."
Variety reported that Adele, of course, sang her smash hit "Hello" for her pleased audience including songs from her 2007 album "19" like "Hometown Glory" and from her "21" album including the James Bond theme song "Skyfall." The publication even revealed that Adele was reminded of the Paris Attacks, which just happened days before her performance.
So when she sang "Hometown Glory," Adele said, "Tonight, this is about everyone's hometown."
The special concert lasted for two hours, but TV viewers will only be treated to an hour since they will be cutting out certain moments from the show but not Adele's few conversations with the audience.
The funny singer even joked with her audience during the show, reminding them about how it will soon be shown on TV. "This is going to be on TV so don't pick your nose," Adele said as quoted by the news agency.
The singer also expressed how much she wanted to do a show since she had her son Angelo, who was born in Oct. 2012. "I've been dying to do a f*****g show," Adele said as quoted by the publication.
Furthermore, Adele was very sweet as she made a shout-out to her boyfriend Simon Konecki on stage as it was the first time that he was present for her show. Adele also reportedly sang her latest hit "When We Were Young."
