Joe Soars With Haunting Cover Of Adele’s ‘Hello’

Published: Friday 6th Nov 2015 by Sam

Soulful crooner Joe is an R&B veteran, yet that hasn’t stopped him from paying homage to one of today’s top talents – Adele.

The vocal tactician tackled the British diva’s huge hit ‘Hello’ and the result is lush.

Check it out…

Yes, yes, and yes! That was everything.

Joe has always resonated with us because he’s one of the few male vocalists who a) has a powerhouse voice and b) isn’t afraid to flaunt it.

Beyond power, he has a PHD in controlling his tool too, as evidenced by his ability here to juxtapose big belts with softer inflections. His runs are particularly rousing as well.

Stellar.

We really hope to see more of today and tomorrow’s male talent bring the “vocal” back to the forefront rather than veering (almost exclusively it seems these days) towards the “ratchet” turn-up side of the tracks.

  8. No favs, just here for the music November 6, 2015

    Lol. Nothing has beat Conor’s version for me not even Joe.

    • MimiStan November 6, 2015

      WHO?????????? Dead at you thinking we’d know who it is from their first name.

      • No favs, just here for the music November 6, 2015

        Who cares if he’s known or not? I like HIS version and that’s it. Geez. Who cares if he’s an established artist or not. Just enjoy the damn music.

      • No favs, just here for the music November 6, 2015

        But if you must know his name is Conor Maynard. I believe he’s an artist from the UK and was signed by Neyo or something along those lines. He also did a collab with Rita Ora and put out an album in 2012. I think his career just never picked up or fell off. But regardless I still love his voice and I think he’s very talented. Status isn’t everything at least not for me…

      • Oh No November 7, 2015

        Hahahaha I know like people would know Connor Maynard and I’m sorry I sont usually get into this stuff but to think that Connor Maynard is gonna out do Joe is ridiculous. Like seriously ridiculous! Go listen to Joe all the things then talk Connor Maynard can’t sing to save his froggy looking face!!

      • No favs, just here for the music November 7, 2015

        @ Oh No

        Good for you. I don’t stan for stats I just enjoy the music. I will always prefer Conor’s version over Joe’s. Your ridiculous to state your opinion as if it’s a fact on who has a better voice for this song. Like seriously ridiculous! LOL

    The sad thing is had Joe done the original no on would give a s***. When you look at this man catalog if h was white h would be huge

  17. Amazon Chanteur November 6, 2015

    Amazing! Joe has an incredble voice and he’s so underrated. He nailed all the notes from the original and gave contrast between tenderness and grit. Whew! Lemme go listen to Emergency Room on repeat!

  18. #JACKIE November 6, 2015

    Rihanna WISHES!!!! She couldn’t hold a note if it were nailed to her hand.

    • BeyRihLiyah November 6, 2015

    So let’s all kiss Adele’s fat white assI’m going to sing my cover of Jello.B**** is overrated and a Phyllis Hyman knock off.Sick of white artist stealing from black artist.

    • Lmfao_Hoe November 6, 2015

      OMG I loved Phyllis !!! She was amazing. Clive devil ass paid her dust smh. He acted like he couldn’t promote her like he did Whitney.

    • Missey November 7, 2015

      PHYLLIS WOULD HAVE SLAYED ADELE.

      REAL EMOTION, REAL PAIN. HER STORY IS TRAGIC

  24. cocobutta November 7, 2015

    Joe voice is superb. Got a long catalogue of his songs since the 90s.
    The shame is these types of vocalist are being dug a hole of no airplay for the tun up tracks that all sound like Breezy or overly s** without love making elements like Trey.

    #bringbackvocals

    • coolness November 7, 2015

      Yes to this! It can be quite easy to think its no big deal to cover Adele’s songs because she’s quite simple regarding her approach to singing. However, she has such a unique way of emoting that many fail to capture that very essence when paying homage to her. Joe is an incredible vocalist and did just that whole showing great skill too. He’s held up his voice really well in the more than two decades that he’s been at it. His sophomore effort, ‘All That I Am’ is one of my favourite R&B albums of the 90s. Shame he never won a Grammy.

  25. eric November 7, 2015

    This man just simply doesn’t get his due credit. It is not easy to maintain the pitch, the tone and control that Joe displays in this video. I would love to see Adele and him pair up for a duet version. I really liked this.

  26. Lake Erie November 7, 2015

    Damn, he sang the hell out of that song. A cover should always be equivalent or better than the original and he did that on this. I am not surprised tho, he sang the hell out of Mariah’s “we belong together” and that’s not an easy song to sing. But he did it flawlessly. Good Sh!t Joe.

  27. GAJE November 7, 2015

    Stellar!

  28. Missey November 7, 2015

    POOR JOE, LIKE CHANTE MOORE, TAMIA.

    THEY ARE ALL SO UNDER-RATED. BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT THUGS OR HAVE THERE BREAST PUSHED UP AND LOOKING LIKE THOTS.

    THE VOCALS ARE EMOTIONAL, HEARTFELT AND BEAUTIFUL

    TAMIA- ME, STILL, ALMOST, OFFICIALLY MISSING YOU

    CHANTE MOORE – AS IF WE NEVER MET, AM I LOSING YOU, YOUR LOVE IS SO PRECIOUS, I CRY TO MYSELF

    JOE – ALL THE THINGS YOUR MAN WON’T DO, THANK GOD I FOUND YOU WITH MARIAH, WE BELONG TOGETHER
