Soulful songstress Adele has much cause for celebration this week; after her hotly anticipated sophomore set ’21’ hit #1 in a whopping 16 countries. Not one for complacence, though, the British Grammy winner stopped by BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge today for a spine-tingling live set, which included a cover of Cheryl Cole‘s smash ‘Promise This’.
Take a listen after the jump…
The jokes clearly write themselves here. Cheryl’s original couldn’t hold a candle to this. Something I suspect Adele and her team cheekily knew and played on from the outset. In any case, stunning performance!

She’s incredible! This is great!
However, I wouldn’t mind SONG POSTINGS on Adele but personally she’s BORING.
this is sad..
her voice is so empowering. she’s like a modern day Mama Cass.
Definitely YES!!
Adele is one of the most talented artists in the music scene!
Her new album is OUT OF THIS WORLD!
killed it
She’s a great singer, deserving of the success shes now getting.
Amazing voice. I can’t wait to get her album.
Now that was real talent! Beautiful!
Adele>>>>>>>>>>>Cheryl Cole IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE!
ALL DAY, EVERY F*CKING DAY!
Adele shits on MOST of this industry the same way!
The end.
#1 in sixteen countries! I’m so proud of her! I guess talent does win out in the end for some people. I hope this becomes a recurring thing, TALENTED people making QUALITY music actually achieving commercial success.
And I listened to 21, and while I’ve yet to truly absorb the album, I don’t think it’s premature to say that it is BRILLIANT. Best album of the year so far.
I love it & I love Adele she can blow !! Back!
Adele is FUKIN Amazing. Her Voice is unbelievable. She be singing with everything in her!!
Her album is really good, and her music is truly some of the best ive heard in recent years!
FYI — She Loves Rihanna, Shes RihannaNavy so another reason to Back this B**** with everything in me! lol
Yesss Adele!! Ugh her voice is just exquisite. Her new album by the way is perfect.
okay so yeh adele sings it well, but cheryl cole is 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 times hotter so therefore cheryl’s version is better 🙂
siiigh….oh why did they have to mention that chick??was it necessary?jus askin…and Adele is f***in AHHMAZZIN!!!!!
ADELE IS A BEAST.
If she hadnt sang a cheryl cole song… adele wouldnt get a mention on here. Adele is a better singer then cheryl cole obviously, if cheryl didnt have the looks she does, no one would be intrested in her singing voice at all. Shows, just how far looks will get you in the music industry, shes a great example of this.
Adele all the way!
#sosad wen anotha can sing ur own song better than u can loving this version *16 countries is a matter of days* F*** Cheryl Tweedy 😉 #ThatIsAll
That was beautiful. I LOVE Adele’s voice. She’s a very talented vocalist. Her last album was great; can’t wait to hear the new one.
Adele can sing in comparison to Cheryl “Lip Syncing Chezza” Cole. Problem is she’s a BORING bland singer. She would be perfect if this was the 90’s. The folksy ballad pop singer is a dozen years from where her era is supposed to be. Sigh, yaaawn.
Love it. Her album, 21 is great! She writes all of her songs which are incredible like her voice.
how can you praise britney spears and rihanna and then pput down cheryl cole. lmfaooo they all got the same vocal range
Well credit to Cheryl & her team for having a song that this super artist in Adele would want to cover.
GREAT cover btw.
She’s always brings that rich tone and passion
Salute the backing/assisting vocalists as well.
Harmonies YESS!!!
Yes the harmonies were Stunning.
Please post more of adele. Real talent must outshine average singers. This is only happen with the help of blogs and the public. If you like Real talent, buy it. don’t just morn about it. In this day and age, numbers say alot. Which is a good/bad thing.
@WonderLand19
I completely agree, TGJ needs to start promoting real music instead of giving so much coverage to artists like Rihanna (who they claim to hate).
cheryl coles version is much better personally this version is slow and BORING!!!
cheryl cole is much prettier aswell 🙂
Actually Sam, Adele said she wanted to do the song because she is a huge fan of Cheryl’s and that she really loves her, and even though Adele is cleary a better singer than Cheryl the original version is much better. Sam you would be respected alot more as a serious blogger if you tried to show reasonable and contructive criticism as oppose to just throwing shade all the time. It makes you look bitter and unprofessional.
@Dion ish Adele >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rihannaa Im so glad that someone that is talented is doing so good and i luv her powerful diva filled voice. I hope this trend continues too for all the people who have talent that can sing and dance their ass off. @Lengendina LMAO preach they are all the same
Adele is CLEARLY a better singer than Chezza (who can’t sing at all!) why do people have to mention Adeles appearance? whats that got to do with her being an amazing artist or not. You have to remember that before Chezza made it … she had a lot of work done on herself to help her career (hair extensions, dental correction/ whitening, falsh lashes etc…unfortunately no singing lessons!).
I personally think that Adele is a beautiful, deep, soulful girl! so for all you haters lay off her! 21 is an amazing album!
