Adele plays Prince video at tour opener in MN - but doesn't sing a cover
“Did you enjoy that Prince video?” Adele asked the crowd as she returned for her encore, before explaining, “I did consider covering a song but then I was like, ‘F— it, it’s Prince!” | |

Not an Adele fan, but I sure wish a lot of other artists would adopt her philosophy lmao. | |

Adele, you are so cool! And she was one of the few people who could have done one of his songs justice. But this is a great attitude, I love it.  | |

She showed Raspberry Beret at the second show, last night. Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me. |

Glad she didn't try and sing a Prince song. I wasn't there because I'm so sick of her but according to the reviews in the startribune both nights the set lists were exactly the same, songs in the same order. Definitely not Prince like.  Paisley Park is in your heart

What a smart, sensitive woman. This makes me like her even more. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

She's wonderful. I really appreciate her not trying to sing a Prince song. That's been done to death! | |

Yes. I would rather watch a Prince video any day than watch anyone trying to imitate him. Although the guy at the BET awards who did The Beautiful Ones was good. I got a kick out of that too. | |

Very reverential display, but not everyone can sing Prince. | |

I think she coulda killed the Sinead arrangement of NC2U. "That's when stars collide. When there's space for what u want, and ur heart is open wide." | |

One more time, Adele is classy! | |

Great idea. Perhaps she heard everyone was getting flak for covering him so she took a sensible approach "Almost all art is trying to become an anaesthetic and at the same time a healing session drawing up the magical electrics.” | |

I appreciate that she chose one of his 90s hits and not "Purple Rain". Although I guess given her age and nationality (TMBGITW was his only UK #1) it's probably the song that resonates most with her. |
