Nicole Scherzinger Covers Adele

Posted by Siofan | Monday May 30, 2011

At a private Hugo Boss party in Monte Carlo (yeah, we didn't get an invite either) Nicole Scherzinger took on Adele's "Rolling In The Deep." As Adele lovers we wanted to shout blasphemy that a Pussycat Doll would dare sing such a deeply emotional song and worried that there would be some sort of chair dance friendly beat inserted in so attendees could dance. After watching the video below, we've been silenced. We knew Scherzinger had singing chops, but she doesn't just go through the motions on this one, she puts in the heart and the hurt that Adele does on the original.

Are you a fan of the original Adele version? Can you get on board with Scherzinger's version like us?

Although Adele's 21 is by far one of the best albums I have ever heard and she is a very talented singer, it is refreshing to hear another take on such a deep song.
