VIDEO: Adele Goes Deep With "Someone Like You" On VMA Stage

Aug 29 | by Natasha

Adele sang one of our fave songs of hers to date, "Someone Like You," tonight on the MTV VMA stage. We've got her performance in case you missed it. Simple is sometimes more...

UK soul sensation Adele hit the black carpet and white catwalk looking nice Sunday night. And we've got the pics and video from her performance in case you missed it:

Amazing. Keep brushing the hate off ya shoulders girl...

Adele is a beautiful voice

Adele is a beautiful voice and her songs touch my heart. I listen to both her albums on repeat at least once a week. Her performance was so classic and in my opinion was the best of the night. No disrespect to none of the other performers but she is flawless to me.

Beyonces, Britneys, Rihannas,

Beyonces, Britneys, Rihannas, Katys, Ciaras, Keris are a dime a dozen, anyone can learn a song given to them and learn the choreography Adele is a truly gifted singer that’s what makes her, Lauyrn, Jill, Chrisette, Erykah, and made Amy truly unique… BLACK or WHITE

What Adele did with that

What Adele did with that performance was genius. It wasnt about anything, but her voice and her experience. It was full of emotion and sounded amazing. I can listen to her sing all day and night. Her music is deep and full of emotion. I am sick of people talking about her race. WHO CARES. She can sing and that's all that matters.

Adele actually writes her songs from her experiences; therefore, she is able to sing with such emotion because it is coming from a real place.

I loved this song by Adele. It's so emotional and she did a good job. One of the very few singers who didn't need a track to sing along with.

Adele is over

Adele is over rated...... Black women with great voices and a non morbid album Jill Scott Jennifer Hudson Marsha Abrosia *sp Fantashia *sp Laura Izibor Corrine Bailey Rae Why she getting all the shine those other artists are just as good and better than Adele. Americans are fascinated by anyone who is "new and fresh" even tho she's not that new....I'm not jumping on the Adele bandwagon....She doesnt even put any effort into her performances.... I'm bored to tears watching her sing.

Adele is not over rated at

Adele is not over rated at all. What does her race have to do with the fact that she has a beautiful voice? No one is taking away from Jill, Jennifer, Corrinne or any other of those talents. Get over the race issue already. All of these women of color you named has given props to Adele. It;s about the voice, lyrics and music. Nothing more.

all that you mentioned have

all that you mentioned have great voices. However, presently, none have a hit song on the radio. Adele's cd is one of the best out this year. As nothing to do with her being white, she's number one (white or black).

The best blue-eyed Soul

The best blue-eyed Soul singer of her generation she deserved the award more than Gaga in my opinion. Gaga is smoke and mirrors and too much of a fame whore she didn't allow Britney to have her moment during her tribute.
