Social action organization Global Citizen somehow just made Adele’s hit song “Hello” even better
In a new video published this February, Global Citizen re-imagines Adele’s “Hello” as a call to Congress to protest President Drumpf’s executive orders. The video features an Adele look-a-like wearing a fur coat belting out tunes with the wind in her hair, singing into a phone … the lyrics are just a bit different.
“Hello, it’s me. I was wondering if you had some time to support refugees,” the woman sings into a flip phone.
“We can go over everything. Like how they aren’t terrorists, they’re only frightened folks in need.”
The chorus is possibly the best part
“Hello from the other side! If I have to, I’ll call a thousand times! Til you listen to us, we’ll never leave you alone. But when I call Paul Ryan, he never seems to be home.”

‘Don’t vote for him,’ the singer tells the audience
By: GERRAD HALL
Hillary Clinton has no shortage of singing celebrity supporters – Jay Z, Demi Lovato, Elton John, Katy Perry, among them.
Now she can add Adele to that list.
At the British singer’s Tuesday night concert, October 24, in Miami, where Clinton was in attendance and reportedly celebrating on the eve of her 69th birthday, Adele addressed the upcoming election and urged the audience,
“Don’t vote for him,” referring, of course, to Clinton’s opponent, Donald Trump.
“I am English, but what happens in America affects me too,” she told the crowd at the American Airlines Arena.
“I am 100 percent for Hillary Clinton. I love her, she’s amazing.”
The Genting Arena, host to large music concerts, is part of the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) complex located in Birmingham, England.
The 16,000 capacity Genting Arena was the largest multi-purpose arena in the UK when opening in 1980 as “The NEC Arena” and is still a major popular venue for many large, international touring acts.
Together, the NEC and the Genting Arena host over 3 million visitors each year.

~Adele Sings ‘All I Ask’ A Cappella After Sound Failure at Concert~
Proving that she’s a true professional with the voice better than all your faves, Adele powered through her performance of “All I Ask” like a champ on Saturday (April 2, 2016) in Birmingham, England after the speakers abruptly cut out.
Around two minutes into her song, sound for her microphone and piano went out and forced the 28-year-old to sing a cappella in front of the sold out crowd. Without missing a beat, the songstress went on – joined by the audience singing along – to finish the song.
After the performance, Adele revealed that she had no idea that her show had suffered a technical difficulty.
“Why did you all start cheering mid-way through. It scared the life out of me. I thought there was a streaker on stage. What was that?” Adele asked the crowd. “The sound went off? The PA fucking cut off?
Well, it didn’t cut off in my ears. I could hear myself.”
She added about lip syncing claims,
“Tell them I wasn’t miming. They might think I was miming, I wasn’t miming.

Adele Dedicates Antwerp Concert to Orlando Victims
Last night, June 12, 2016, at her concert in Antwerp, Adele began her show by dedicating the entire set to the victims of the Pulse Night Club shooting in Orlando.
She teared up as she explained:
“I would like to start tonight by dedicating this entire show to everybody in Orlando and at Pulse nightclub last night.
The LGBTQ community, they’re like my soulmates since I was really young, so I’m very moved by it.”
Adele then said humorously:
“I don’t know why I’m crying already because most of this tonight is pretty miserable because my songs are fucking miserable. I do have two songs that sound happy, but they’re not.”

Her debut album, 19, was released in 2008 to commercial and critical success. It is certified seven times platinum in the UK, and double platinum in the US.

The success of 21 earned Adele numerous mentions in the Guinness Book of World Records.
She is the first woman in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 to have three simultaneous top 10 singles as a lead artist, and the first female artist to simultaneously have two albums in the top five of the Billboard 200 and two singles in the top five of the Billboard Hot 100. 21 is the longest-running number one album by a female solo artist in the history of the UK and US Album Charts.
In 2012, she released “Skyfall“, which she wrote and recorded for the James Bond film of the same name. The song won an Academy Award, a Grammy Award, and a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.
After taking a three-year break, Adele released her third studio album, 25, in 2015. It became the year’s best-selling album and broke first week sales records in the UK and US.
