Hmmm... there's a curveball, if I ever saw one. I could never imagine that Bill dug Adele. Well, one learns a lesson everyday, innit? (As Adele would probably say. She's from London, you know) {#Angel}

Greetings from London.

Lovely voice, but it seems just a little too laid back. Not the aching, lonely mood of the original.

I've heard lots of covers of songs I liked. I think this is a pretty good one. She made me stop and think...what song is this?

Oh....that's right THEY ARE BOTH FANTASTIC SONGS AND YOU WON'T FIND ANY RADIO STATION PLAYING THEM BACK TO BACK - FOLLOWING RODRIGO Y GABRIELA NO LESS - EXCEPT  RP.

WHICH IS WHY THIS IS THE GREATEST RADIO STATION IN THE HISTORY OFTHE WORLD.

Can you imagine having that voice, having her vocal issues, and still smoking? Tobacco's Amy Winehouse. I hope she gets scared enough to quit now because her voice is lovely.

Ah, I forgot 311 covered this.  They actually did a fine job with it, I think.  Nothing life-changing, but it was certainly acceptable.

boring and in no way even close to the original in any way. guitar work is fine, though.

took some time to sink into my skull it was a cover. Granted I was reading something but the first chorus was almost over before I noticed.
Not bad. She's got a pleasing voice.

Certainly different from the original, and an improvement over it IMHO.

Also agree. Once I overcame the natural resistance to give a chance to anyone touching such a classic I realized that this is actually pretty good.

She's trying too hard, and that squeak in her voice, which I guess is supposed to be soulful, is increasingly annoying. I had to mute this one.

 
Couldn't agree more. The squeeek of her and of Florence and the Machine are a sad trend.
