Rumour Has It: Sixty Minutes Inside Adele

In today's celebrity culture there's nothing more revitalising than a 'star' with a sense of irony and a knack for self-deprecation – and Naomi Price as Adele has more than her fair share of both these qualities. She's wonderfully engaging for the hour-long performance and, even if it's only a parody, does more for the case of the modern day diva than Beyonce ever has. Her irreverence is made all the more funny by her sense of place and occasion, and she is perfectly crass and crude for the entire show. Her repartee is only punctured by her soulful voice. Even for those who aren't self-confessed Adele fans, there's hardly an unrecognisable lyric sung and the audience can't help but be drawn into the performance. Undoubtedly those who aren't all that au fait with Adele's music will find themselves searching 'Adele live' next time they're on YouTube. The similarities between their voices are unmistakable, but what is even more incredible is the way Price manages to capture all the intricacies of an Adele performance. Her dress, movements and mannerisms are uncannily similar to her real-life counterpart. Price is wonderfully supported by her band, who, in true diva style, she ensures never have an opportunity to steal her spotlight.
