0:00:06 > 0:00:08Hello. It's me.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12I was wondering if, after all these years, you'd like to meet.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Come in.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17- Hello.- Adele! - I'm just getting ready.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19You've been getting ready for three whole years.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Well, I said I'd be five years and I've only been four,
0:00:22 > 0:00:26- so, give me another five minutes. - All right. Four years, five minutes. - All right.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54# We could have had it all
0:00:54 > 0:00:59# Rolling in the deep
0:00:59 > 0:01:05# You had my heart inside of your hand
0:01:05 > 0:01:07# But you played it, you played it
0:01:07 > 0:01:09# You played it
0:01:09 > 0:01:12# You played it to the
0:01:15 > 0:01:20# There's a fire starting in my heart
0:01:20 > 0:01:25# Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
0:01:25 > 0:01:29# Finally I can see you crystal clear
0:01:29 > 0:01:34# Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your stuff bare
0:01:34 > 0:01:38# See how I'll leave with every piece of you
0:01:38 > 0:01:43# Don't underestimate the things that I will do
0:01:43 > 0:01:47# There's a fire starting in my heart
0:01:47 > 0:01:50# Reaching a fever pitch
0:01:50 > 0:01:52# And it's bringing me out the dark
0:01:53 > 0:01:58# The scars of your love remind me of us
0:01:58 > 0:02:02# They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
0:02:02 > 0:02:07# The scars of your love they leave me breathless
0:02:07 > 0:02:09# I can't help feeling
0:02:09 > 0:02:14# We could have had it all
0:02:14 > 0:02:18# Rolling in the deep
0:02:18 > 0:02:23# You had my heart inside of your hand
0:02:23 > 0:02:31# But you played it to the beat
0:02:33 > 0:02:38# Baby I have no story to be told
0:02:38 > 0:02:40# But I've heard one on you
0:02:40 > 0:02:42# And I'm gonna make your head burn
0:02:42 > 0:02:47# Think of me in them depths of your despair
0:02:47 > 0:02:49# Make it home down there
0:02:49 > 0:02:51# As mine sure won't be shared
0:02:52 > 0:02:57# The scars of your love remind me of us
0:02:57 > 0:03:02# They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
0:03:02 > 0:03:06# The scars of your love they leave me breathless
0:03:06 > 0:03:09# I can't help feeling
0:03:09 > 0:03:13# We could have had it all
0:03:13 > 0:03:17# Rolling in the deep
0:03:17 > 0:03:23# You had my heart inside of your hand
0:03:23 > 0:03:27# But you played it to the beat
0:03:27 > 0:03:32# We could have had it all
0:03:32 > 0:03:36# Rolling in the deep
0:03:36 > 0:03:40# You had my heart inside of your hand
0:03:40 > 0:03:45# But you played it with a beating
0:03:46 > 0:03:51# Throw your soul through every open door
0:03:51 > 0:03:56# Count your blessings to find what you look for
0:03:56 > 0:04:00# Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
0:04:00 > 0:04:05# You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow
0:04:05 > 0:04:08# You're gonna wish you never had met me
0:04:08 > 0:04:13# We could have had it all
0:04:13 > 0:04:14# We could have had it all
0:04:14 > 0:04:18# You're gonna wish you never had met me
0:04:18 > 0:04:22# It all...it all...it all
0:04:22 > 0:04:26# We could have had it all
0:04:26 > 0:04:31# Rolling in the deep
0:04:31 > 0:04:36# You had my heart inside of your hand
0:04:36 > 0:04:40# And you played it to the beat
0:04:40 > 0:04:45# We could have had it all
0:04:45 > 0:04:49# Rolling in the deep
0:04:49 > 0:04:54# You had my heart inside of your hand
0:04:54 > 0:04:56# But you played it, you played it
0:04:56 > 0:04:58# You played it
0:04:58 > 0:05:01# You played me to the beat. #
0:05:01 > 0:05:02CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Thank you.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Thank you very much.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Thank you. Welcome to my show.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Thank you very much, thank you.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23I'm not a very good presenter, so I've got someone in to help me.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Erm, please welcome Graham Norton.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32Hello. Hi. Mwah! Mwah! Sit down, sit down.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Thank you very much. Yes, Adele is back.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41What an incredible start to the show. Beautiful.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Very, very good. Welcome, one and all, to Adele At The BBC.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Now, tonight is going to be very special indeed.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Obviously I'm going to be chatting with Adele about what she's been
0:05:49 > 0:05:51up to for the last three years.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53We've a bit of fun lined up, but, tonight,
0:05:53 > 0:05:55is really all about the music.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57We've got classics from the amazing 19.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59CHEERING
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Tracks from the brilliant 21.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04CHEERING
0:06:04 > 0:06:09And we have exclusive brand-new material from 25, yeah.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11OK.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- I've got cards.- I know. - Are you ready for this?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- My name on them.- Yes. - How amazing.- Are you ready?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- OK, I'm ready.- OK, so listen, how long has it been?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24It's been, yeah, like, three years since I did, erm, Skyfall...
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- OK.- ..at the Oscars.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31So... But 19, 21, 25... You're not 25, so how does that work?
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Because I name the albums after how old I am when I start writing them,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37so when 19 came out, I was actually 20,
0:06:37 > 0:06:41when 21 came out, I was nearly 23, and now I'm 27.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44And were you always going to call it, like, your age?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Yeah, cos that was my first breakthrough moment -
0:06:47 > 0:06:49I wrote a song on the album called Remedy, and I was 25
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- and like, "OK, wheels are in motion, this album's 25."- Boom!
0:06:53 > 0:06:56OK, let's talk about 21, because 21, you know, that...
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- The difficult second album.- Yeah.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02You really aced that. I mean, that was nuts.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- It was mad.- Over 30 million. - Hmm.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Best-selling record, two years in a row.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08- It's phenomenal.- Yeah.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Was there a moment when you kind of knew,
0:07:12 > 0:07:14"Oh, this isn't just an album, this is a thing"?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Yeah, I just remember people making it happen, really,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19more than anything I was doing, because I kept having to stop
0:07:19 > 0:07:22what I was doing, because I kept having lots of vocal problems.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24So I'd go into hiding, not into actual hiding,
0:07:24 > 0:07:27but I'd have to go into, like, rest, you know, and not talk.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29So that is kind of hiding and, erm, everyone just kept recommending
0:07:29 > 0:07:32the album and like losing it or I don't know, giving it away.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35I don't know how many people can buy it, it's so ridiculous.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37It must be, like, a logical reason for it.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Erm, but I remember the Mercury Awards when 21 was nominated
0:07:40 > 0:07:42and I remember it being a bit of a scramble
0:07:42 > 0:07:44just to come towards me.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I was just a bit like, whoa, like, you know, chillax, like me,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50like, fine. That was the turning point for me,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52where I felt a little bit like the album was getting
0:07:52 > 0:07:54a lot bigger than I certainly was.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57And that's when I, sort of, you know...
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Yeah, cos what I like is, this is just a good reminder for everyone,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03that sometimes excellence isn't enough.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04In terms of breaking America...
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- Yeah.- ..there was a bit of... well, a big bit of luck.- Huge.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10The Saturday Night Live, the Saturday Night Live thing.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- Huge luck, yeah, I got SNL, erm... - SNL.- The week...
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Oh, I know. I've only done it once. I think I'm doing it again, though.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Erm, the week I was doing it was meant to be a normal week,
0:08:19 > 0:08:22but the week, erm, after, I think, Sarah Palin was supposed to
0:08:22 > 0:08:24do it and because something came up in the campaign, she came
0:08:24 > 0:08:27and did the week I was doing it with Josh Brolin.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29So it was like one of the most-watched SNL's ever
0:08:29 > 0:08:31and then it was two weeks before the Grammy ballot,
0:08:31 > 0:08:34which is like when people, like, decide what songs they want
0:08:34 > 0:08:37to maybe nominate. So it was, like, literally...
0:08:37 > 0:08:38It was like the stars aligned for me
0:08:38 > 0:08:41and then I was, yeah, the album shot to number one on iTunes
0:08:41 > 0:08:44and I was nominated for a Grammy and then I won one.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I mean, it was a joke. It was a joke.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- All thanks to Sarah Palin.- Yeah.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52SHE CACKLES
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- She's good for something! - She was nice.- Was she nice?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Yeah. I'm not really one to talk about politics no more,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- but, yeah, she was nice. She was fine.- Of course...
0:09:02 > 0:09:06So, you win all the prizes, and we'll talk about some of them later,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09but I haven't heard you talk about... I think we forget
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- you are Adele MBE. - Yeah. I couldn't turn that down,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15my nan would have been livid.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- So, yeah.- Did you take your nan with you?- I did, yeah.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Oh!- She loved it.- Who did you get on the day?- Prince Charles.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23At first, I was a little disappointed it wasn't the Queen,
0:09:23 > 0:09:27but then I realised that Prince Charles will be King
0:09:27 > 0:09:30for my kid, so I thought that'd be cool.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33When he's learning about history and about his King,
0:09:33 > 0:09:34I'll bring out me MBE!
0:09:34 > 0:09:38- And also, keep in with them. Dame hood, you know?- Yeah.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40No, no, no, no. MBE's fine for me, thanks.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Er, OK, so here's the thing.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- So, 21, huge thing, you had to follow it.- Yeah.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Something had to happen next and, wow, Hello,
0:09:50 > 0:09:54you can't have... Like, it must have exceeded your expectations.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Ridiculous. Like, what Hello went on to do?- Well, yeah.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- What is happening? - What is happening right now.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01It's insane. I wasn't... I was hoping it...
0:10:01 > 0:10:04I was hoping people would like it and I kind of knew that my, like,
0:10:04 > 0:10:06my hardcore fans...
0:10:06 > 0:10:10I knew they'd be into it and then, erm, the general reaction to it
0:10:10 > 0:10:13blew my mind, like, it really has, like.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- You broke the internet, Adele. - I know, but do you know what?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17I done an interview, like, the week before.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I don't think it's out yet and I was like,
0:10:19 > 0:10:21"Oh, I don't really know how important the internet is
0:10:21 > 0:10:23"for this campaign."
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Cos last time I released an album, there was no Twitter, no Instagram,
0:10:26 > 0:10:29that's how drastic it was, it was years ago that I released an album.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31And I was just... After that advert that I did,
0:10:31 > 0:10:33you know, that went viral, I didn't...
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I really under-estimated the power of the internet
0:10:36 > 0:10:38and it's really blown my mind.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Now I'm on it here and there -
0:10:40 > 0:10:43doing my own thing, not googling myself or nothing like that -
0:10:43 > 0:10:45but interact... Not interact.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48I haven't got anyone to interact with. Hang on...
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Just having a look at the top trends, and it's fascinating.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54That's how you find out about stuff. It's like people power.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I sound like a granny, don't I?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58"It's amazing!"
0:10:58 > 0:11:00But it must have been a massive relief.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Huge. I, like, cried when it got played on the radio.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07I was so relieved. Keeping it a secret for so long, it was hard.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Oh.- I know, first-world problems.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Well, listen, it's a secret no more, it's a secret no more.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- We're going to hear it, we're going to hear Hello.- Right.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- So, if you want to go over to band land.- Fantastic.- There you go.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20OK.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25So, here it is, this is a genuine worldwide exclusive.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29The first live performance anywhere of Hello.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30CHEERING
0:11:42 > 0:11:47# Hello, it's me
0:11:47 > 0:11:53# I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet
0:11:53 > 0:11:59# To go over everything
0:11:59 > 0:12:02# They say that time's supposed to heal you
0:12:02 > 0:12:06# But I ain't done much healing
0:12:06 > 0:12:12# Hello, can you hear me?
0:12:12 > 0:12:17# I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be
0:12:17 > 0:12:23# When we were younger and free
0:12:23 > 0:12:30# I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet
0:12:30 > 0:12:36# There's such a difference between us
0:12:36 > 0:12:43# And a million miles
0:12:43 > 0:12:49# Hello from the other side
0:12:49 > 0:12:54# I must've called a thousand times
0:12:54 > 0:13:00# To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
0:13:00 > 0:13:07# But when I call you never seem to be home
0:13:07 > 0:13:13# Hello from the outside
0:13:13 > 0:13:18# At least I can say that I've tried
0:13:18 > 0:13:24# To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
0:13:24 > 0:13:30# But it don't matter It clearly doesn't tear you apart
0:13:30 > 0:13:34# Any more
0:13:37 > 0:13:41# Hello, how are you?
0:13:43 > 0:13:48# It's so typical of me to talk about myself
0:13:48 > 0:13:50# I'm sorry
0:13:50 > 0:13:54# I hope that you're well
0:13:55 > 0:14:01# Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?
0:14:01 > 0:14:08# It's no secret that the both of us
0:14:08 > 0:14:11# Are running out of time
0:14:14 > 0:14:20# So hello from the other side
0:14:20 > 0:14:25# I must've called a thousand times
0:14:25 > 0:14:31# To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
0:14:31 > 0:14:37# But it don't matter It clearly doesn't tear you apart
0:14:37 > 0:14:40# Any more
0:14:41 > 0:14:47# Ohh, any more
0:14:47 > 0:14:50# Any more
0:14:50 > 0:14:56# Hello from the other side
0:14:56 > 0:15:02# I must've called a thousand times
0:15:02 > 0:15:07# To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
0:15:07 > 0:15:15# But when I call you never seem to be home
0:15:15 > 0:15:20# Hello from the outside
0:15:20 > 0:15:26# At least I can say that I've tried
0:15:26 > 0:15:32# To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
0:15:32 > 0:15:38# But it don't matter It clearly doesn't tear you apart
0:15:38 > 0:15:41# Any more. #
0:15:47 > 0:15:49CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Thank you very much.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Oh!
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Gorgeous, gorgeous.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Mwah! Oh, another one!
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Er, that is... That's a number one in...
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- Crazy. Like, all over the world. - Something stupid, yeah.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Yeah, mad, mad, mad. So, everyone's waiting for the album.- Yeah.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17When you were... I mean, was there a moment when you kind of thought,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19"OK, this is it, I'm in the groove.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23"This is up a gear. This is good enough"?
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Yeah, I think, when I sang the first verse of Hello,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30I think that was when I was like, "OK, this is like conversational.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31"This is real."
0:16:31 > 0:16:35I think we've read that there was a moment when you kind of thought,
0:16:35 > 0:16:38"You know what? 19, 21, really good albums, might leave it."
0:16:38 > 0:16:43I did. I just got really worried that I was never going to make anything
0:16:43 > 0:16:47that anyone liked again. It was just being self-critical of myself.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50It was nothing else other than that, and also I started to wonder,
0:16:50 > 0:16:54maybe 21 being so successful is enough for everyone,
0:16:54 > 0:16:55but I realised it wasn't enough for me,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58so sorry to make your ears bleed again,
0:16:58 > 0:17:00but, you know, it was that thing of,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03"Do I or don't I want to go, like, back to my music?"
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Obviously, I do,
0:17:04 > 0:17:08and I just wanted to make sure that everything was in place
0:17:08 > 0:17:10for me to do it, so that I could do it properly, you know?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12I can't do anything else. This is all that I like doing.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14And the songs on the first two albums,
0:17:14 > 0:17:16why people connected to them,
0:17:16 > 0:17:18it's that we really kind of saw into your soul.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- I mean, they're really exposing. - On 19?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- Well, both of them.- Oh, thanks.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- You really kind of... It's you kind of laid bare.- Yeah.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28And I just wondered, this time, did you...
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Were you more kind of guarded?- Yeah. - Were you more self-protective?
0:17:31 > 0:17:32Yeah, I was, just because, last time,
0:17:32 > 0:17:37no-one was waiting to try and work out what my songs meant
0:17:37 > 0:17:40and, you know, I was so open about what the songs were about before
0:17:40 > 0:17:43and, you know, I hurt people's feelings with that a little bit,
0:17:43 > 0:17:45do you know what I mean? Being so honest
0:17:45 > 0:17:49and, you know, being a bit more immature then than I am now,
0:17:49 > 0:17:51I was like, "I don't care, he broke my heart, whatever,"
0:17:51 > 0:17:53and stuff like that, so I felt quite bad about that
0:17:53 > 0:17:56and, you know, I have a lot of different things going on now.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58I have a family, you know, that I love and I'm a lioness
0:17:58 > 0:18:01and I want to protect them, you know, and stuff like that,
0:18:01 > 0:18:04so I'd also like people to interpret these songs how they want to
0:18:04 > 0:18:06rather than me shoving it down their throats.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08"This one's about the time I, like, punched him
0:18:08 > 0:18:11"and, like, went running down Oxford Street!"
0:18:11 > 0:18:14I would like people to interpret them...
0:18:14 > 0:18:15So everyone who's been in a song,
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- have they always worked out that it was them?- I don't know.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20I don't care, either.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21THEY LAUGH
0:18:21 > 0:18:24I'm at peace with all of them.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26All right? Fine.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27And do you...
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Are you?
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- Absolutely! I'm a mum.- Good.- Yeah.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34And we heard... we knew that you had vocal problems and...
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- Yeah.- You had an operation.- I did.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40So was there a moment when it mightn't have come back?
0:18:40 > 0:18:44No, never. I thought there might be. I was frightened for about a week
0:18:44 > 0:18:47until I had to fly to Boston to this guy.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49He was like, "This is a very common singer's injury,
0:18:49 > 0:18:52"I've done this a million times. Don't worry about it.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54"It can be dealt with." I was relieved.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56And is the voice exactly the same? Can you write...
0:18:56 > 0:18:58You write the same way for your voice? That isn't in your head?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Well, at the very beginning, it changed. It was very clean,
0:19:01 > 0:19:05and, you know, obviously, I used to smoke quite a lot,
0:19:05 > 0:19:09so all the scars that my voice had from most of my life were gone.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11It was like a brand-new voice.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- I can sing a lot higher than I used to.- Oh, really?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15And also a lot lower than I used to, yeah.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18She says! Now someone's going to challenge me and I won't be able to.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21And then... But, you know, after a while...
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Also, in my pregnancy, my voice got a lot lower,
0:19:23 > 0:19:25which is why Skyfall's so low. I don't really do very much...
0:19:25 > 0:19:29I couldn't get up there for Skyfall. Apparently, it's quite common.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Really? When you're pregnant your... How weird is that?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33DEEP VOICE: I was like that when I was pregnant.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36So that's why Skyfall's so low.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40But now it's kind of, you know, after like gruelling studio sessions,
0:19:40 > 0:19:42with me like singing like a demon, it kind of...
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Its wear and tear came back, in a good way, I think.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46- You're sounding great tonight. - Thanks.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49You've got some very dedicated fans, Adele, and you've always said
0:19:49 > 0:19:51that you'd like to share your success with them,
0:19:51 > 0:19:53so we had this idea.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56On the way in, as a very special treat, some of our audience
0:19:56 > 0:19:59got the chance to pose for a photograph
0:19:59 > 0:20:02with your actual, real, 100% genuine Oscar.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03No, really, this happened.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Who... Who'd want to ruin a moment like that?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08SHE CACKLES
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Three, two, one.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Three, big smiles, two, one.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Three, two, one.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Straight down the lens to me
0:20:29 > 0:20:32and three, two, one.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Big smiles, guys. Three, two, one.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Three, two, one.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Straight down the lens, guys. Three, two, one.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Thank you. Brilliant. That's brilliant. Excellent.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Look behind you.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- Three, two...- Hello, it's me.- ..one.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Two, one.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Somebody's... Somebody's...
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Hang on a minute, somebody's just walked in shot.- Hello.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24SHE SHRIEKS
0:21:28 > 0:21:30I was so nervous doing that.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34That lady wouldn't have been as excited if she'd won the Oscar.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Whenever anyone comes round, they always want to see the Oscar,
0:21:37 > 0:21:41cos it's so mad, so I love letting people hold it.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- It's so heavy!- And everyone who wins an Oscar goes, "It's so heavy!"
0:21:45 > 0:21:48It's all those, like, skinny girls,
0:21:48 > 0:21:50like, "Ohh!" But it is really heavy.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53In my speech, the most embarrassing thing, cut in there,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- and I was like, "Oh, my God!" - But everybody says it.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59And I was saying to you that, when you were interacting with the fans,
0:21:59 > 0:22:02is... The way people react to you is lovely.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04It's almost like they're so happy to see you,
0:22:04 > 0:22:06but they're not like starstruck. It's like,
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- "It's Adele, we know Adele!" - Maybe that's why.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- It's like, "Oh, it's Adele(!)"- No.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13No, I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- But the thing is, keeping a low profile...- Yeah.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- Like, all we know about while you were away...- I read the other day,
0:22:18 > 0:22:22someone described me as like seeing a unicorn.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Like that's how rare it is.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26I am not a recluse! I go out every day.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29I've been to every museum, every park, every supermarket,
0:22:29 > 0:22:30every shopping centre.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- What do you think I do on a rainy day with my kid?- I don't know.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36I don't lock him up inside,
0:22:36 > 0:22:37I just don't call the paps.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Is it true that, yesterday, the security guard
0:22:40 > 0:22:42- tried to stop you coming in here? - Yeah!
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Which is the story of my life, ask any of my friends.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47"It's me, Adele!"
0:22:47 > 0:22:49HE LAUGHS
0:22:49 > 0:22:50"Let me in!"
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Keeping a low profile, it's all very well,
0:22:53 > 0:22:56but, now, over the last few years, we know you had a baby,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58we know you had an Oscar. That's it.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00I passed my driving test.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- Oh?- Yeah.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- All right. I'd like to hear more about that.- OK.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- Because it doesn't stop the rumour mill churning.- Yeah.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10So we thought we'd give you an opportunity
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- to set the record straight.- Let's do it. I've been waiting for ever.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- So we're going to play Rumour Has It.- OK.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18MUSIC: Rumour Has It by Adele
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Ooh. Ooh. So, what it is, some of these fans have been armed
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- with rumours.- OK.- And they're going to tell you what they are
0:23:27 > 0:23:29and we'll find out whether they're true or not.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- OK, off you go. What's your name? - I'm Katie.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35So rumour has it that you were a massive fan of the singer Gabrielle
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- at school?- Yes, I am. - So then you faked an eye injury
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- just to wear the patch. - I had conjunctivitis and...
0:23:40 > 0:23:42LAUGHTER
0:23:42 > 0:23:45..and it was towards the end of the virus that I was allowed to go back
0:23:45 > 0:23:48but because they were a bit wary, my mum got me an eye patch
0:23:48 > 0:23:50from a local pharmacy and she was so nice,
0:23:50 > 0:23:52she sewed on sequins, like Gabrielle.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55But it was a bit of a fan-girl moment, yeah.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- My name's Alexandra. Hello, Adele. - Hello, Alexandra.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Rumour has it you're not allowed access to your own Twitter account.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- This is true.- Is that true?- Yeah.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07What? You can't tweet? You can't tweet as yourself?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09I mean, I'm not a drinker any more,
0:24:09 > 0:24:12but when Twitter first came out, I was like drunk-tweeting
0:24:12 > 0:24:16and, like, nearly put my foot in it quite a few times,
0:24:16 > 0:24:19so, yeah, my management decided that you have to go through
0:24:19 > 0:24:21two people and then it has to be signed off by someone,
0:24:21 > 0:24:23but they're all my tweets. No-one writes my tweets.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25They just post them for me.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- So, yeah, that's very, very true. That's very true.- Wow.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31OK, I've got some more up here. Do you have one? What's your name?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- Joseph from West Norwood.- Whoo!
0:24:34 > 0:24:35West Norwood!
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Oi-oi! Best years of my life!
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Rumour has it, Adele, that, for your 24th birthday,
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Rihanna sent you a topless photo
0:24:43 > 0:24:46and a cake shaped like a pair of pink boobs.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49I've never heard that one. I wish. No. No, never.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53I met her once. She was amazing. But, no, that sounds...
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Honestly, I've never heard such rubbish.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- Next year.- Next year, yeah, totally. - Do you have one?- Yes.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04- Oh, yes, she does. What's your name? - Mary-Jo.- Mary-Jo.- Hi, Mary-Jo.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Rumour has it, when you started your driver's lessons,
0:25:07 > 0:25:09your instructor didn't know who you were.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Well, I thought that. Yes, that's very, very true.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15I thought that until he went on loads of, like, TV shows
0:25:15 > 0:25:17talking about being my instructor.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19He was like, "I've never heard of you."
0:25:19 > 0:25:22He was going on about One Direction and Mumford & Sons and all that
0:25:22 > 0:25:24and he'd never heard of me and I was like, "That's great."
0:25:24 > 0:25:28And then I saw him on, like, a round-up of, like, a morning TV show
0:25:28 > 0:25:31and it was like, "Guess who this guy taught how to drive?"
0:25:31 > 0:25:34So, yeah. No, it is true that he didn't know who I was.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- Did you pass first time?- I did. - Oh, well done.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39One minor.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- Wow.- One minor.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42Glad all that's been cleared up,
0:25:42 > 0:25:45but here's something I can tell you that's definitely true.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Adele is going to sing for us again.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51So here she is with the song itself - Rumour Has It.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58# Ooh
0:25:58 > 0:26:00# Ooh

0:26:16 > 0:26:20# You and I have history or don't you remember?
0:26:20 > 0:26:23# Sure, she's got it all
0:26:23 > 0:26:29# But, baby, is that really what you want?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33# Bless your soul You've got you head in the clouds
0:26:33 > 0:26:37# She's made a fool out of you and, boy, she's bringing you down

0:29:33 > 0:29:34Thank you very much.
0:29:37 > 0:29:38Great job!
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Mwah!
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Whoo!
0:29:44 > 0:29:46- Is that an easier one to do? - It's lower.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48It goes much lower!
0:29:48 > 0:29:50It goes quite low, yeah.
0:29:50 > 0:29:56- Now, let's talk about the track that isn't on 19, 21 or 25.- OK.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00- Er, Skyfall.- Yes. - Yeah, because that's...
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Were you tempted to put it on to 25, because it's...
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Actually, we did talk about it, at one point,
0:30:04 > 0:30:06but we felt like we were ripping everyone off.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09That song's not on any album anywhere,
0:30:09 > 0:30:12so we did consider it but then I thought it was a bit lazy,
0:30:12 > 0:30:15but there was a point where it was like a dry period.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18We were like, "Let's put Skyfall on, yeah?"
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Trying to rinse it out!
0:30:21 > 0:30:26So, again, you know, just incredible success, you know?
0:30:26 > 0:30:30- I know, I'm so lucky.- It did really well, and then an Oscar.- Yeah.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33- So, the night of the Oscars... - Was jokes.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Well, it was crazy because it wasn't just you.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Like, who else was singing that night?
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Oh, my God, I know!
0:30:40 > 0:30:43The guys that directed and produced it were the guys that did, like,
0:30:43 > 0:30:45I don't know, they did all the musicals.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47They were beside themselves.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50It was me, Shirley Bassey and Barbra Streisand. Imagine me like...
0:30:50 > 0:30:52It was amazing.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, the Les Mis cast,
0:30:56 > 0:31:00- which is like Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman.- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02All them lot. It was like... I think there were a couple more,
0:31:02 > 0:31:05but I was sort of in my, you know, own little boss-eyed world.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09On a night like that, because you're all performing,
0:31:09 > 0:31:10are you all equals?
0:31:10 > 0:31:12No. Babs.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Babs was the queen that day.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16She was amazing.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20- Did she behave like a queen?- Yeah, she behaves like Barbra Streisand,
0:31:20 > 0:31:22but that's great. She's Barbra Streisand.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25She's not like, "Out of my way!" She's lovely.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28I was nervous around her. She's one of my heroes.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33- And then... So you go, you sing, you win the thing.- I know.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35- Which is... That's a lot of icing on cake.- Yeah.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37It was really, really amazing.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40- Did you go to all the parties afterwards?- No. No, I was...
0:31:40 > 0:31:42I had to go back and feed.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Oh, I see. Oh, I see, feed.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46I thought you meant like raid the fridge.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50- And that! And that! I think I definitely...- Adele's feeding.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53I definitely had an In-N-Out Burger,
0:31:53 > 0:31:55but, yeah, no, everyone else went and they had a laugh.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59- OK, we've talked about Skyfall, so off you go.- I will. Yes, please.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- Off you go and get ready.- Thank you.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06With apologises to Shirley Bassey, Paul McCartney, Tom Jones,
0:32:06 > 0:32:10Duran Duran, Carly Simon and Sam Smith, all lovely songs,
0:32:10 > 0:32:14but, surely, this is the very best Bond theme of all time.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17It's the song that won Adele an Oscar. It's Skyfall.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41# This is the end
0:32:44 > 0:32:49# Hold your breath and count to ten
0:32:50 > 0:32:55# Feel the earth move and then
0:32:56 > 0:33:01# Hear my heart burst
0:33:01 > 0:33:04# Again
0:33:04 > 0:33:06# For this is the end
0:33:09 > 0:33:15# I've drowned and dreamt this moment
0:33:15 > 0:33:20# So overdue I owe them
0:33:22 > 0:33:29# Swept away, I'm stolen
0:33:29 > 0:33:32# Let the sky fall

0:34:08 > 0:34:12# Skyfall is where we start
0:34:12 > 0:34:19# A thousand miles and poles apart
0:34:19 > 0:34:23# Where worlds collide and days are dark

0:34:26 > 0:34:29# You can take my name

0:36:34 > 0:36:36CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:36:43 > 0:36:44Wow!
0:36:46 > 0:36:49How amazing was that? That is stunning.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53- Mwah!- And the wall and the things... - That was good, that.- Fabulous.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56- Absolutely fabulous. - Thank you.- Now, Adele...- Yes.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00..with great success comes that most flattering of things,
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- imitators.- Yes.- And lookalikes. - Ooh, yeah!- Yeah.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Have you seen many of them over the years?
0:37:06 > 0:37:08I have seen a couple, yeah.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12A couple of drag acts, which I absolutely loved.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Their make-up is epic. So, I have, I have.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17I have.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Well, we thought it might be fun to get them all together,
0:37:19 > 0:37:22a sort of beehive of Adeles, if you will,
0:37:22 > 0:37:25and we thought we'd get them to audition at a London theatre
0:37:25 > 0:37:28for my new top-secret TV show.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30What they didn't know
0:37:30 > 0:37:33is that one of the tribute acts...
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- was you!- Yeah-ha!
0:37:36 > 0:37:38So, now...
0:37:38 > 0:37:42No, this was...I hadn't seen your disguise...
0:37:42 > 0:37:44- Yeah.- ..before you arrived.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46So, how nervous were you, going into this?
0:37:46 > 0:37:50I was really nervous. It was the hardest thing, being some else
0:37:50 > 0:37:52pretending to be me,
0:37:52 > 0:37:55and then, also, walking towards eight other girls dressed as me,
0:37:55 > 0:37:57I hadn't prepared myself for.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00It wasn't freak, or anything, just quite overwhelming.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03It made me really emotional. They had these really beautiful videos,
0:38:03 > 0:38:05almost like audition tapes.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08It really, really touched my heart.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10They were really beautiful and, yeah,
0:38:10 > 0:38:12walking towards them
0:38:12 > 0:38:15was really, really amazing, and I really wanted one of them to say,
0:38:15 > 0:38:19"I don't like her. Someone said I look like her, so here I am..."
0:38:19 > 0:38:22That's what I was hoping for. But they were all so lovely.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24But on the day, you were Jenny.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- I was Jenny.- Let's see how Jenny got on.- Yeah, let's.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33I do like picking my nose, so I can't pick my nose when this is on.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36You've given me quite a big one, ain't ya?
0:38:36 > 0:38:38SHE LAUGHS
0:38:38 > 0:38:40So, we're here at the New Wimbledon Theatre,
0:38:40 > 0:38:43where a plethora of tribute acts and impersonators
0:38:43 > 0:38:48have been arriving to take part in my new show, My Adele.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52But there's a twist. The real Adele has spent the morning
0:38:52 > 0:38:54disguising herself as Jenny Krug.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56And she's going to be coming along here
0:38:56 > 0:38:59to celebrate her love for, well, herself.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Now, I hasten to add, I haven't seen her disguise yet.
0:39:02 > 0:39:03Will she be able to pull it off?
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Well, we're about to find out.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09GRAHAM GASPS
0:39:10 > 0:39:13- You look amazing.- Hello, Graham.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16- Hello.- Hello, I'm Jenny. - Nice to meet you, Jenny.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19- SHE LAUGHS - That's so good.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23- You look so not like yourself. - Ooh...
0:39:23 > 0:39:25I have to put gloves on cos of all my tattoos.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29I was sitting here, it was like a really awkward blind date.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31"Will I recognise her when she comes in?"
0:39:31 > 0:39:33It makes your eyes look different.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35She's made my eyes look more catty,
0:39:35 > 0:39:38and then I've got a fake chin, a fake nose
0:39:38 > 0:39:40and she's drawn my lips smaller.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Oh, the chin is fake as well?
0:39:42 > 0:39:44- I've got a bum chin, so they'd know, I reckon.- Yeah.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46You're not going to speak like this...
0:39:46 > 0:39:48LOW-PITCHED VOICE: I'm going to be Jenny.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Very calm and slow, cos I talk really fast and really harsh.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Of course my day job is, I'm a nanny.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56So, nannies talk very slow and very calm,
0:39:56 > 0:39:57to try and make the world make sense.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01I guess you should go backstage and get ready for this.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02I walk like this as well.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04THEY LAUGH
0:40:04 > 0:40:05And I got a ladder!
0:40:05 > 0:40:07THEY LAUGH
0:40:10 > 0:40:13I'm a big fan. She's, like, my idol.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16So, I've watched all of her shows online,
0:40:16 > 0:40:18I've never got to see her live as yet.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22I am 20 years older than Adele,
0:40:22 > 0:40:24so it's important for me to take 20 years off.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28Now, I either put it all on with a trowel or I call in a surgeon.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33I have watched the Live At The Albert Hall gig
0:40:33 > 0:40:35about a million times,
0:40:35 > 0:40:38stood in front of the TV and copied all the movements.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41All right, we're about to kick off.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44The first Adele is taking to the stage.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Here we go.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50- I'm Gabriella.- Jenny.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52STUDIO AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:40:52 > 0:40:57# When the rain is blowing in your face
0:40:57 > 0:41:02# And the whole world is on your case... #
0:41:02 > 0:41:06Do you guys just do Adele? Any of us just do Adele?
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Yeah, I've just started out.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11- I can't wait for the new album though, new music.- Oh, yeah.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14- New music will be so amazing. - She's taking her time!
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Try and say that to her face! I'd love to see the reaction.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18I would!
0:41:19 > 0:41:21She's chatting, she's chatting.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25# ..Whole world is on your case... #
0:41:25 > 0:41:27She's got her hands.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33# I could offer you a warm embrace
0:41:33 > 0:41:37# To make you feel my love... #
0:41:37 > 0:41:40'I've been doing this act about six months.'
0:41:40 > 0:41:43- What about you?- Five years. You?
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Four. Mine's been a bit slow recently. Not that many...
0:41:46 > 0:41:49- Oh, really? - Yeah, not much of a demand.
0:41:49 > 0:41:56# When the evening shadows and the stars appear
0:41:56 > 0:42:01# And there is no-one there to dry your tears... #
0:42:01 > 0:42:03I think she'd like him.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06She would like him, yeah, she really would, I think!
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Jenny's doing very well. She hasn't been rumbled as yet.
0:42:09 > 0:42:10OK, Lisa Martin, please.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13So when she's in the Royal Albert Hall she decides
0:42:13 > 0:42:15she wants to take her shoes off cos they hurt her,
0:42:15 > 0:42:17so if my feet hurt, I might take them off.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- Is that fair, girls?- That's fair!
0:42:20 > 0:42:21Make like Adele.
0:42:21 > 0:42:22THEY LAUGH

0:42:35 > 0:42:36- Are you?- You'll be all right.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Yeah. I feel a bit dizzy, actually.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Do you want to go and get some fresh air?
0:42:41 > 0:42:44SHE EXHALES
0:42:44 > 0:42:45I'm not feeling great.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Mmm.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49(Bless her.)
0:42:49 > 0:42:53# ..To make you feel my love
0:42:53 > 0:42:58# I've known it from the moment that we met
0:42:58 > 0:43:03# No doubt in my mind where you belong... #
0:43:03 > 0:43:06So, all the lookalikes have now performed,
0:43:06 > 0:43:10only Jenny to go. I don't think anyone's sussed her so far.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12She's really good.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14# ..Feel my love... #
0:43:15 > 0:43:18THEY WHOOP

0:45:29 > 0:45:33and I think the other Adeles have finally twigged.

0:46:41 > 0:46:43You were so good!
0:46:43 > 0:46:46I'm sorry! You are so amazing.
0:46:46 > 0:46:48I loved it. I loved it.
0:46:48 > 0:46:52- ALL:- # I know you haven't made your mind up yet... #
0:46:52 > 0:46:54Oh, my God! That is unreal!
0:46:54 > 0:46:57# ..But I would never do you wrong... #
0:46:57 > 0:47:00- It's Adele?! - Can't believe it!
0:47:00 > 0:47:01I'm gob-smacked.
0:47:01 > 0:47:04# I've known it from the moment that we met... #
0:47:04 > 0:47:06Get your hands out.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08# ..No doubt in my mind... #
0:47:08 > 0:47:10I can't actually believe it!
0:47:10 > 0:47:13I think I was maybe the last person to click that it was her.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15# I go... #
0:47:15 > 0:47:17ALL GIGGLE
0:47:17 > 0:47:21# ..I go running down the avenue... #
0:47:21 > 0:47:23As soon as she opened her mouth you could just tell.
0:47:23 > 0:47:25You can't mimic like that.
0:47:25 > 0:47:29# ..Nothing that I wouldn't do
0:47:29 > 0:47:33# To make you feel my love
0:47:33 > 0:47:36# Yea-ea-eah
0:47:36 > 0:47:41# To make you feel my love... #
0:47:41 > 0:47:44It was just beautiful, beaut...beautiful.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46Just...thank you!
0:47:46 > 0:47:49Aww! I know!
0:47:49 > 0:47:51So sweet!
0:47:51 > 0:47:54Did you think you would pull it off?
0:47:54 > 0:47:56- You did it! - No, I was so nervous about it.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59- They're all here as well. - They're all here.- They're all here.
0:47:59 > 0:48:03There they are. All the Adeles, and our brilliant decoy.
0:48:03 > 0:48:06- Thank you for being such good sports!- Thank you.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08Thank you.
0:48:08 > 0:48:09I was so nervous about it.
0:48:09 > 0:48:13I kept turning to my side cos my side profile was AMAZING.
0:48:13 > 0:48:17And they all thought I was being horrible, I was being snooty,
0:48:17 > 0:48:20but I was so nervous about them working out it was me.
0:48:20 > 0:48:23LOW-PITCHED VOICE: One minute I'd talk like this...and then ha-ha-ha!
0:48:23 > 0:48:26I thought I was going to give it away. But you were amazing.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29You've all got such great voices. I loved it. Thanks so much.
0:48:29 > 0:48:31All right, listen. Lots of Adele action, but we want more.
0:48:31 > 0:48:33So, what are you going to sing for us?
0:48:33 > 0:48:35- A new one from the new album, called Million Years Ago.- Ooh.
0:48:35 > 0:48:39Am I right, this was one of the last tracks to be done?
0:48:39 > 0:48:42Literally, while we were mastering the album,
0:48:42 > 0:48:44we were mixing this song to go on the record,
0:48:44 > 0:48:49- so yeah, it was really last minute that this song got put on.- OK.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52- But you chose to do it tonight? - Yeah. It's one of my favourites.
0:48:52 > 0:48:56It's kind of the story about... I drove past Brockwell Park,
0:48:56 > 0:48:58which is a park in south London that I used to live by,
0:48:58 > 0:49:02and it's where I spent a lot of my youth. Not my childhood.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04I didn't live there then.
0:49:04 > 0:49:07It has quite monumental moments of my life that I've spent there,
0:49:07 > 0:49:10and I drove past it and I literally just burst into tears.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12I really missed it, for no other reason
0:49:12 > 0:49:14- than we've all got different things going on.- Yeah.
0:49:14 > 0:49:16It's got nothing to do with me not feeling like
0:49:16 > 0:49:19I can't go and sit in there and drink a bottle of cider any more.
0:49:19 > 0:49:20It's more that we've all...
0:49:20 > 0:49:22Life happens, so I've got no-one to meet there.
0:49:22 > 0:49:24That's basically what it is.
0:49:24 > 0:49:25And it's just sort of about that,
0:49:25 > 0:49:28and about I never realised that this was going to happen.
0:49:28 > 0:49:31I never, ever realised, when I had my guitar in the park,
0:49:31 > 0:49:33like, singing to my friends, I never...
0:49:33 > 0:49:36we never in a million years thought this would ever happen,
0:49:36 > 0:49:38you know, so Million Years Ago.
0:49:38 > 0:49:40- So, yeah.- All right. Off you go.- Thank you.
0:49:42 > 0:49:47Now back to the start of my career, yes, this is Million Years Ago.
0:49:47 > 0:49:49CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:49:53 > 0:49:57# I only wanted to have fun
0:49:57 > 0:50:01# Learning to fly, learning to run
0:50:01 > 0:50:05# Let my heart decide the way
0:50:05 > 0:50:09# When I was young
0:50:09 > 0:50:14# Deep down, I must have always known
0:50:14 > 0:50:18# That this would be inevitable
0:50:18 > 0:50:22# To earn my stripes, I'd have to pay
0:50:22 > 0:50:26# And bare my soul
0:50:39 > 0:50:44# I know I'm not the only one
0:50:44 > 0:50:48# Who regrets the things they've done
0:50:48 > 0:50:51# Sometimes I just feel it's only me
0:50:51 > 0:50:56# Who can stand the reflection that they see
0:50:56 > 0:51:00# I wish I could live a little more
0:51:00 > 0:51:04# Look up to the sky Not just the floor
0:51:04 > 0:51:09# I feel like my life is flashing by
0:51:09 > 0:51:13# And all I can do is watch and cry
0:51:13 > 0:51:17# I miss the air, I miss my friends
0:51:17 > 0:51:21# I miss my mother, I miss it when
0:51:21 > 0:51:26# Life was a party to be thrown
0:51:26 > 0:51:31# But that was a million years ago
0:51:34 > 0:51:38# When I walk around all of the streets
0:51:38 > 0:51:43# Where I grew up and found my feet
0:51:43 > 0:51:47# They can't look me in the eye
0:51:47 > 0:51:51# It's like they're scared of me
0:51:51 > 0:51:56# I try to think of things to say
0:51:56 > 0:51:59# Like a joke or a memory
0:51:59 > 0:52:04# But they don't recognise me now
0:52:04 > 0:52:08# In the light of day
0:52:21 > 0:52:25# I know I'm not the only one
0:52:25 > 0:52:29# Who regrets the things they've done
0:52:29 > 0:52:33# Sometimes I just feel it's only me
0:52:33 > 0:52:38# Who never became who they thought they'd be
0:52:38 > 0:52:42# I wish I could live a little more

0:53:13 > 0:53:19# A million years ago... #
0:53:20 > 0:53:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:53:32 > 0:53:35This next one was the first song that I ever wrote,
0:53:35 > 0:53:37when I was about 16, and it's called Hometown Glory.
0:53:37 > 0:53:40It was all about how I felt about London and stuff like that.
0:53:40 > 0:53:43I actually wrote it on guitar and I was at school at the time.
0:53:43 > 0:53:46I got my friend at school to, like, transpose it onto piano,
0:53:46 > 0:53:47cos I probably could play it,
0:53:47 > 0:53:49but it would probably take about 12 hours,
0:53:49 > 0:53:51cos I'm such a snail on the piano,
0:53:51 > 0:53:54trying to sing and play at the same time.
0:53:54 > 0:53:56I actually find this song really emotional now
0:53:56 > 0:53:58because so much has happened since I wrote it.
0:53:58 > 0:54:01It's been, like, 11 years since I wrote it,
0:54:01 > 0:54:03so my whole career has happened,
0:54:03 > 0:54:05and it's one of my favourites, still, to this day,
0:54:05 > 0:54:08so this is Hometown Glory.
0:54:08 > 0:54:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:54:24 > 0:54:28# I've been walking in the same way
0:54:28 > 0:54:33# As I did
0:54:33 > 0:54:36# Missing out the cracks in the pavement
0:54:36 > 0:54:41# And tutting my heel and strutting my feet
0:54:41 > 0:54:45# Is there anything I can do for you, dear?
0:54:45 > 0:54:49# Is there anyone I could call?
0:54:49 > 0:54:53# No, and thank you, please, madam
0:54:53 > 0:54:58# I ain't lost, just wandering
0:54:58 > 0:55:01# Round my hometown

0:55:23 > 0:55:27# Are the wonders of this world
0:55:27 > 0:55:32# Are the wonders now
0:55:32 > 0:55:35# I like it in the city when
0:55:35 > 0:55:39# The air is so thick and opaque
0:55:39 > 0:55:44# I love to see everybody in short skirts
0:55:44 > 0:55:48# Shorts and shades
0:55:48 > 0:55:50# I like it in the city
0:55:50 > 0:55:56# When two worlds collide
0:55:56 > 0:55:59# You get the people and the government
0:55:59 > 0:56:04# Everybody taking different sides
0:56:04 > 0:56:07# Shows that we ain't gonna stand
0:56:07 > 0:56:09# Shows that we are united
0:56:09 > 0:56:13# Shows that we ain't gonna take it
0:56:13 > 0:56:15# Shows that we ain't gonna stand
0:56:15 > 0:56:20# Shows that we are united

0:57:40 > 0:57:47# Yeah-ah-ah. #
0:57:50 > 0:57:52CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:57:54 > 0:57:56Aw!
0:57:56 > 0:57:59I love that. I love it, I love it.
0:57:59 > 0:58:02There's something about that song.
0:58:02 > 0:58:05It just breaks my heart, cos I think about...the you,
0:58:05 > 0:58:07- the 16-year-old you. - I was little when I wrote that.
0:58:07 > 0:58:10- I was little, yeah. - And, like, who was she?
0:58:10 > 0:58:14Like, what...? How big were her dreams?
0:58:14 > 0:58:15I mean, I'd be lying
0:58:15 > 0:58:18if I said this wasn't what I always wanted to do, because it is.
0:58:18 > 0:58:21But that girl can't have known...
0:58:21 > 0:58:23No, never in a million years, did I think about this.
0:58:23 > 0:58:26I was just hoping to be gigging round London,
0:58:26 > 0:58:28headlining the Barfly at some point,
0:58:28 > 0:58:33- and, you know, I never even did that, I just sort of bypassed that.- Yeah.
0:58:33 > 0:58:37That was the song that went on Myspace, wasn't it?
0:58:37 > 0:58:41- Yeah, put it on Myspace.- When it got a few thousand hits on Myspace...
0:58:41 > 0:58:42Not even that!
0:58:42 > 0:58:45At the peak of it, it was maybe, like, 1,200.
0:58:45 > 0:58:49And that was mainly my friend Lyndon, who made the Myspace...
0:58:49 > 0:58:51He was my first superfan.
0:58:51 > 0:58:55He made the Myspace and the day I left college,
0:58:55 > 0:58:58he gave me the password and said, "I think you should do this now,
0:58:58 > 0:59:01"cos people are starting to e-mail." I thought XL, my label,
0:59:01 > 0:59:04I thought, "I can get a scouting job." They'd be, "She's got an
0:59:04 > 0:59:07"all right taste in music, let's get her in to look online
0:59:07 > 0:59:11- "for the next up-and-coming act," and then they signed me.- Wow.
0:59:11 > 0:59:13I didn't have a manager. They were, "Who's your manager?"
0:59:13 > 0:59:15"Dunno. Ain't got one."
0:59:15 > 0:59:18- And things happen, like you say, life happens, life changes.- Yeah.
0:59:18 > 0:59:22And one of the big things that happens in anybody's life
0:59:22 > 0:59:25- is to become a parent... - Yeah.- ..to be a mum.
0:59:25 > 0:59:28And what did that do to you in terms of just you as a person?
0:59:28 > 0:59:32It changed me completely in every single way possible
0:59:32 > 0:59:33and something much...
0:59:33 > 0:59:36you know, something much bigger than myself happened.
0:59:36 > 0:59:39I had been craving that, I think, without realising.
0:59:39 > 0:59:43There's a lyric in one of my songs which is about becoming a mum,
0:59:43 > 0:59:45which was that, "I find it funny
0:59:45 > 0:59:47"that you're the only one I never looked for."
0:59:47 > 0:59:49Because I was always, like, yearning for something
0:59:49 > 0:59:51and I never knew what it was.
0:59:51 > 0:59:53And, you know, then I got pregnant,
0:59:53 > 0:59:56and he makes me realise everything about myself
0:59:56 > 0:59:58that I like and I don't like, you know.
0:59:58 > 1:00:01I think that's why the album's sort of ended up
1:00:01 > 1:00:03becoming this sort of journey about how I make myself feel,
1:00:03 > 1:00:06rather than how someone else has made me feel,
1:00:06 > 1:00:07you know, that I've done before.
1:00:07 > 1:00:10You know, you've achieved this enormous success,
1:00:10 > 1:00:12you've worked hard, you've got lucky,
1:00:12 > 1:00:15- you know, you've grafted... - I'm very lucky.- ..to get here.
1:00:15 > 1:00:17And he's just popped into this world,
1:00:17 > 1:00:21he's just popped into all this success. Does that freak you out?
1:00:21 > 1:00:23Does that worry you for him?
1:00:23 > 1:00:25I think we're doing a great job
1:00:25 > 1:00:28and I think that we will do a great job.
1:00:28 > 1:00:32And, you know, I'm very conscious of how much my life has changed
1:00:32 > 1:00:36and how much his childhood will be very different to mine.
1:00:36 > 1:00:38- But- I- haven't changed.
1:00:38 > 1:00:40My life has changed. I haven't changed.
1:00:40 > 1:00:43We're going to hear something else new from the album,
1:00:43 > 1:00:46so is it kind of a happy-clappy song about skipping?
1:00:46 > 1:00:47When We Were Young?
1:00:47 > 1:00:50When We Were Young, it is a happy song.
1:00:50 > 1:00:52It sounds a bit "uhh"!
1:00:52 > 1:00:54Well, not like "uhh",
1:00:54 > 1:00:56but, you know, it's like a happy sad song.
1:00:56 > 1:00:59It will make you think of something that you love or loved.
1:00:59 > 1:01:02- In a nice way.- To me... I haven't heard the whole album,
1:01:02 > 1:01:07but the way you're talking, and Hello and Million Years Ago,
1:01:07 > 1:01:11it seems this kind of encapsulates what the album is,
1:01:11 > 1:01:14- kind of being 25... - When We Were Young?- Yeah.- Absolutely.
1:01:14 > 1:01:17When We Were Young is my favourite on the album.
1:01:17 > 1:01:20I wrote it with another artist, called Tobias Jesso Jr,
1:01:20 > 1:01:23who I love, and if you haven't heard of him you need to listen to him.
1:01:23 > 1:01:26He's so fantastic and so beautiful and kind.
1:01:26 > 1:01:27So that's one of the reasons,
1:01:27 > 1:01:30but also we spoke for hours before we sat down at the piano,
1:01:30 > 1:01:33and this song was what we spoke about,
1:01:33 > 1:01:36and it is, you know, becoming a parent,
1:01:36 > 1:01:41entering my late twenties - ugh! - I feel like I am saying goodbye
1:01:41 > 1:01:43to a little side of me and, again,
1:01:43 > 1:01:46it's got nothing to do with my career or being well known,
1:01:46 > 1:01:50- it's just what happens. Life happens. - What I love about this is,
1:01:50 > 1:01:54everyone remembers this. Even at my age, you remember that thing
1:01:54 > 1:01:57- of being 27 and suddenly realising 30's on its way.- Yeah.
1:01:57 > 1:02:00- And, "Oh, my God, this is my youth! I'm in it!"- Yeah.
1:02:00 > 1:02:04I remember things. When I was rehearsing it a couple of weeks ago,
1:02:04 > 1:02:07I remember the first time my best friend did my make-up
1:02:07 > 1:02:11for us to go clubbing, and it's still my favourite make-up look ever,
1:02:11 > 1:02:14and we've got a little photo-booth picture of it.
1:02:14 > 1:02:18I remember that, rather than think about that when I was writing it,
1:02:18 > 1:02:20so every time I sing it, I think about something else from my past,
1:02:20 > 1:02:23- which is wonderful. - I'm sure we're going to love it.

1:03:32 > 1:03:37# Before I go?
1:03:37 > 1:03:42# Cos I've been by myself all night long
1:03:42 > 1:03:45# Hoping you're someone
1:03:45 > 1:03:49# I used to know
1:03:49 > 1:03:52# You look like a movie
1:03:52 > 1:03:55# You sound like a song
1:03:55 > 1:03:58# My God, this reminds me

1:04:15 > 1:04:18# We were sad of getting old
1:04:18 > 1:04:21# It made us restless
1:04:21 > 1:04:24# It was just like a movie
1:04:24 > 1:04:28# It was just like a song
1:04:30 > 1:04:35# I was so scared to face my fears
1:04:35 > 1:04:38# Nobody told me
1:04:38 > 1:04:43# That you'd be here
1:04:43 > 1:04:48# And I swear you moved overseas
1:04:48 > 1:04:52# Cos that's what you said
1:04:52 > 1:04:55# When you left me
1:04:55 > 1:04:58# You still look like a movie
1:04:58 > 1:05:02# You still sound like a song
1:05:02 > 1:05:05# My God, this reminds me

1:05:45 > 1:05:49# When we were young
1:05:49 > 1:05:53# It's hard to win me back
1:05:53 > 1:05:56# Everything just takes me back
1:05:56 > 1:05:59# To when you were there
1:05:59 > 1:06:02# To when you were there
1:06:02 > 1:06:06# And a part of me keeps holding on
1:06:06 > 1:06:09# Just in case it hasn't gone
1:06:09 > 1:06:12# I guess I still care
1:06:13 > 1:06:15# Do you still care?
