 Talking about makeup, burps, pimples and taking selfies with
the audience, the singer-songwriter won over thousands of fans
at London's O2 arena with her stage chat as she belted out her
chart-topping hits.
The 27-year old opened the show with "Hello" - the single that
marked her successful return to the music scene late last year
following her 2011 album "21".
In a simple production that saw the London-born singer perform
just alongside her musicians, Adele sang her popular singles
including James Bond theme tune "Skyfall" as well as
chart-toppers "Someone like You" and "Rolling In The Deep".
"Hometown Glory" sang against a black and white video of the
British capital's main sites won rave applause from the London
crowd.
"To finally be here is amazing," Adele said during the concert
where she invited fans of all ages on stage.
When one couple got engaged during her performance of "Make You
Feel My Love", they too were invited to stand beside the
award-winning songstress, who told the audience of the proposal:
"(It's) one of the most beautiful things I've ever witnessed at
one of my shows".

Adele began her sell-out "Adele Live" tour on Feb. 29 in Belfast and
will go on to perform around Europe before heading to the United
States.
She sang a mix of hits from her albums "19", "21" and "25", which
has topped charts worldwide since its November release.
"I love the fact that she swears. She's funny, she tells stories.
She's just a laugh," fan Jordan Potts said.
"You know it's a massive show ... but it's so intimate as well. She
really connects with the audience."
