Just as hearing someone on a record can be a powerful moment, it's hard to top seeing an artist belt out one of their hits onstage with more passion than can ever be put to tape. As a young teenager, Adele found that out during a life-changing concert.
"I remember seeing Pink at Brixton Academy," the British singer tells Spinner. "It was the 'Missundaztood' record, so I was about 13 or 14. I had never heard, being in the room, someone sing like that live."
I remember her voice hitting me. It was incredible.
Growing up, Adele — whose second album, '21,' comes out this February — had seen artists like the Cure live, but had never been blown away like she was seeing Pink.
"Before that I was into the Spice Girls and stuff like that and they can't sing obviously. I know that now," she says. "I remember sort of feeling like I was in a wind tunnel, her voice just hitting me. It was incredible.
